You got it BB. The Homelight 55 hp 4 stroke outboard built in the sixties was based on the little Crosley engine. As I remember they had a reputation of being a pretty good engine.
John L The Homelite 55 HP 4 Cycle outboard motor was introduced in 1961. Based on the Fageol outboard motor developed by Lou Fageol which itself was a derivative of the 44 cu. in. Crosley automobile engine, the Homelite 55 HP motor was much more successful than these previous ventures and was produced up to 1972. In 1966, Textron, Inc. sold the production rights of the Homelite 55 HP outboard to Richard Fisher of Boston Whaler Boats in 1966. The company, Fisher-Pierce, sold the motors as the Bearcat 55 HP and even developed an 85 HP model.

 I don't get one up on you guys very often. I am glad I remembered that. I can remember seeing the Homelight on display back in the Sixties and a friend laughing and telling me it wasn't anything but a Crosley engine.John

There is a lot of Muntz Jet in its looks - at least from the "A" pillar on back, but......

 At least thats what I thought until I found it in a google search. I will keep my silence and see how long it takes for someone to get it. Kelly

MMMMMPHPHPH!!!
It is SO hard not to tell the answer (but I found it on line and did not actually KNOW) I had seen that pic before so I had an idea of where to look. So, since I cheated, I ain't a-tellin'

Nope not a Hudson. I'll give you a hint. Thyey only made five of them. Four are still around. The company who made them is still in business. The car doesn't really look like any production vehicle they made. Another company later on used some technology from their top.
BB For you two who found it on line why don't we let go to 9:00 pm PST then if it's still unsolved go for it.

Ok, being it's a concept car I had to go looking and I can't keep my mouth shut now that I know, it's the 1940 Chrysler Thunderbolt concept car, very cool! It was Chryslers first concept car.
But Kelly found it first so he can have the floor. Brian
