Its a art deco style car most likely from the 30s. It is a tall sitting coupe with a large front end and little windshield its a rare car that might be a plymouth. I think Wyclef jean might have owned one. Its bugging meand I really really like it? ---

I think Chrysler put out a model the called the “airstream” or “airflow”. It sounds similar to your description. ---

Got pics? There are lots of expensive art deco style coupes from the 30’s with large front ends and little windshields, including the Rolls Royce Phantom III Aero, the Talbot Lago T23 Teardrop, etc. Jean’s tastes tend to run more toward exotics and Hummers with fish tanks on board, so that’s not much of a clue. ---
