It's the Weinberger Roadster (s/n 41121). The owner was a German surgeon, dr Josef Fuchs of Munich. He took the car with him to Triest, Shanghai and later to New York. In 1938 the engine got broken and in 1943 the car was sent to scrapyard. There it was bought by Charles Chayne (the future VP of GM) for $412 In 1958 the car was donated to the Henry Ford Museum, where it still resides.
