The Playboy was a postwar two seater built at a former Chevy plant in Tonawanda NY. it was definitely not a sports car, just a tiny convertible. They got about 50 prototypes make before the inevitable bankruptcy.

And, I was the one who posted a link to a Playboy automobile-centric website about 1 1/2 years ago!

The Playboy automobile

No, not the Jordan Playboy of the 1920s! I am referring to the little Playboy car that was built in Buffalo, NY in the late '40s. In a sense, the guys who designed and tried to market this car were visionaries, because they foresaw a burgeoning need in some families for a second car, mostly for around-town hops. Unfortunately, the car was not successful, but since they built 99 of them, I guess one could say that they were twice as successful as Tucker was.
