It is a six-passenger 2-door sedan[1] that was designed by Rust Heinz of the H. J. Heinz family and Maurice Schwartz of the Bohman & Schwartz coachbuilding company in Pasadena, California.[15] Although sometimes dismissed as a failure because it never entered production, the Corsair is regarded as ahead of its time because of its futuristic features, and styling cues such as faired-in fenders and a low profile.[2] DesignThe Phantom Corsair's steel-and-aluminum body measured just {{convert|57|in|cm|abbr=on}} in height and incorporated fully skirted wheels and completely flush fenders while forgoing running boards.[17] The car also lacked door handles, as the doors were instead opened electrically using push-buttons located on the exterior and the instrument panel.[17][19] The instrument panel also featured a compass and altimeter, while a separate console above the windshield indicated when a door was ajar or if the car's lights or radio were turned on.[17] The Corsair's body was mated to the "most advanced chassis available in the United States" at that time, the Cord 810.[15] The Lycoming 80º V-8 engine-powered Cord chassis also featured front-wheel drive and an electrically operated four-speed pre-selector gearbox, as well as fully independent suspension and adjustable shock absorbers.[3][4][15][19]{{#tag:ref|While according to Michael Lamm of Motor Trend the Phantom Corsair has a V-8 engine, Mick Walsh of Classic & Sports Car writes that it has a straight-8 engine instead.[3][4]|group="nb"}} Though these features from the Cord 810 chassis were all retained on the Phantom Corsair, the chassis was modified in order to accommodate the Corsair's large body.[15] The body measured an impressive {{convert|237|in|cm|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|76.5|in|cm|abbr=on}} wide, enough to accommodate four people in the front row, including one person to the left of the driver.[17][19] The back seats could only hold two passengers, however, in large part because of space limitations posed by on-board beverage cabinets.[17][19] Though weighing a hefty {{convert|4600|lb|kg|abbr=on}}, the Phantom Corsair could achieve speeds of up to {{convert|115|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} because of its modified, naturally aspirated 125 bhp Lycoming engine as well as its aerodynamic shape.[3][19] ProductionRust Heinz planned to put the Phantom Corsair, which cost approximately $24,000 to produce in 1938[5] (equivalent to about $370,000 in 2010), into limited production at an estimated selling price of $12,500.[6] However, Heinz's death in a car accident in July 1939 ended those plans, leaving the prototype Corsair as the only one ever built.[17] The Phantom Corsair now resides in the National Automobile Museum (also known as The Harrah Collection) in Reno, Nevada.[6][7][5] Media appearances
