It was commissioned for Rust Heinz, heir to Heinz 57 fortune.

The heir to a cannery fortune was named Rust?

They had a sense of humour, those Heinzes.

Notice the "UFO" styling cues. Circa 1938..........Amazing.

Not so amazing, really. Classic 'flying saucers' look the way they do because they are the artifacts (albeit mental artifacts) of Americans living during the period in which late Art Deco styles, in particular Streamline Moderne, became a design cliché used in American furniture, household appliances and automotive design. That car is a typical example of the style at its earlier aesthetic peak. The inevitable kitsch period followed at about the time of the flying saucer craze, and accounts for the look of flying saucers. Americans were projecting images of their toasters, kettles, hubcaps, etc. into the sky.

It seems to me--though I'm don't have enough knowledge or interest in the subject to be sure--that UFO sightings in any given period seem to reflect the fashions prevailing in military and consumer technological design during the period.

Soooooooo funny you mention that. Did you ever see the movie Starman? (My total fav ET flick) Jeff Bridges (ET) drives an old Mustang. (not sure of the year) And it has fat tires and a very loud big honking V-8.

He runs a few red lights in it. Awesome if you've never seen it. I promise it won't dissappoint.
