The Albatross was an American sports car venture that was planned in 1939, but never got off the ground. The plan had been to market an ultra-streamlined four-seat tourer body, built on a standard Mercury chassis which was extended to a 137" wheelbase[1], based on a European custom-made car owned by cartoonist Peter Arno. The proposed car was advertised in at least one periodical, and at least one was built.[2]

I am the daughter of Peter Arno, and have recently heard from a person who claims he and his brother own the "Albatross" and it is in Missouri, with need of restoration. rnpatmom
