Here we go again! What is this one?

I'm not often stumped, but I was watching Wayne Carini and stopped the programme to take this picture. What on earth is that in the background?

1950 Willys Jeepster is my guess.

ETA: the green one is a 1948 Davis Divan that has featured in his programme.

Thanks. I meant the green thing there, so now I'll look it up.

It’s a 3 wheel Davis I believe, that one is the motor show car from what I can remember from watching the show

The only one of them that was fitted with a Ford flathead V8 from new IIRC.

Sorry if this off topic, but I’ve seen a few of his shows, but not seen anything on here. I like the show, he seems genuinely very knowledgeable, his showroom and shop have a wide range of vehicles, both exotic and eclectic, he seems to be the go to guy for people selling and sourcing cars. In a recent episode they sourced a “barn find” Mercedes 300 SL a rare find. A search of the internet does not bring up much information.
My question, “Is he a big player in the American classic car world?”

There was an episode on the Davis I'm sure it won't be difficult to find.

It's season 1, episode 7.

His greatest find was the Stutz Bearcat that hadn't been moved since 1931. He was over the moon to acquire it, and I can understand why. It is something one can only dream of. But then he is a car dealer, and sold it later of for nearly $500,000. It would never have left my garage.

Montgomery Burns has a '36.......and it's maroon, not burgundy!

They've been rotating Chasing Classic Cars on Quest for years, well the series they have access to. I've enjoyed a few of them, series 1 is from 2008/09.

I think the Davis was purple when he got it originally?
