Someone help me out on this 39 super eight by Rollson. It says it was based on a club coupe body, (according to the letter #1844 and drawing #1846) on a 127 wb. It has a 1938 super 8/ V12 (or 1939 V12) dash with a column shift. No front passenger seat. Built for Mrs Swayze (I've heard that name before in combination with custom body somewhere). Than the front fenders look different from stock fenders as well.
So is this a real Rollson or a fake? m.ebay.com/itm/201660956534

doesn't the big slab of exposed wood with the body badge on it look odd?

The 39 Su8 Rollson looks legit. Some of the lower sheet metal is obviously missing but the interior wood that is weathered is something that can't be faked. I agree that the dashboard is suspicious. It doesn't look right compared to a 40 Rollson Town Car dash.
Rollson did some oddball cars. One I remember was a 40 Su8 styled to look like a Caddy 60 Special. It even had Cadillac parts on it.
