This may be as close as I come to owning a car that seemingly doesn't exist.

It's a 1933 Continental Roadster and this is the tail light it wore. I just bought this today.

I actually have never seen an actual photograph of the car, just drawings. Supposedly, they made about 400 convertibles but none seem to be extant.

The Continental Engine Company bought out the assets of the De-Vaux Co. and produce an innovative all steel car, quite a change for the industry.

Sadly, they were probably all scrapped in the war effort.

If you happen to know of a 1953 Cunningham Continental C-3 convertible (6 made) or a '55-'58 Bentley S-1 RHD Continental convertible (29 made), let me know.:rolleyes:

Can't help you on the rarities, but I think the font on the lens is interesting. Kinda asian-ish or Middle Eastern looking especially the C, Ts, and L.
