The Phantom Corsair is a prototype automobile built in 1938. 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.[4] 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.[5]
Design
The Phantom Corsair's steel-and-aluminum body measured just 57 in (140 cm) in height and incorporated fully skirted wheels and completely flush fenders while forgoing running boards.[6] The car also lacked door handles, as the doors were instead opened electrically using push-buttons located on the exterior and the instrument panel.[6][7] 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.[6] The Corsair's body was mated to the "most advanced chassis available in the United States" at that time, the Cord 810.[4] 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.[2][3][4][7][nb 1] 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.[4] The body measured an impressive 237 in (600 cm) long and 76.5 in (194 cm) wide, enough to accommodate four people in the front row, including one person to the left of the driver.[6][7] The back seats could only hold two passengers, however, in large part because of space limitations posed by on-board beverage cabinets.[6][7] Though weighing a hefty 4,600 lb (2,100 kg), the Phantom Corsair could achieve speeds of up to 115 mph (185 km/h) because of its modified, naturally aspirated 125 bhp Lycoming engine as well as its aerodynamic shape.[2][7]
Production
Rust Heinz planned to put the Phantom Corsair, which cost approximately $24,000 to produce in 1938[7] (equivalent to about $370,000 in 2010), into limited production at an estimated selling price of $12,500.[4] However, Heinz's death in a car accident in July 1939 ended those plans, leaving the prototype Corsair as the only one ever built.[6]
The Phantom Corsair now resides in the National Automobile Museum (also known as The Harrah Collection) in Reno, Nevada
The one and only 1938 Phantom Corsair Coupe. It was created by Rust Heinz, a scion of the Heinz (57 Varieties) family who wanted to design automobiles instead of filling ketchup bottles.

And travellers now, within that valley
Through the red-litten windows see
Vast forms, that move fantastically
To a discordant melody,
While, like a ghastly rapid river,
Through the pale door
A hideous throng rush out forever
And laugh - but smile no more.
From The Haunted Palace

If you take away the camera from a photographer it usually takes a long time until (s)he notices it.
Sometimes I still feel it,
the weight of your hand on my shoulder,
a warmth that ghosts the chill.
Wind moves through the same space now,
whispering where you once stood,
and I turn, foolish and faithful,
to meet what isn’t there.
