That's the "Flying Star," Bill. It is an absolutely gorgeous one-off
by...by... waaaall shoot. I'm having a senior moment here. I think it
was by Zagato, but I don't know if they were around that far back.

In any case, anyone who is within a hundred miles of Blackhawk (closest
freeway exit is Crow Canyon Road in San Ramon, CA followed by a quick
five mile drive over the hill) should stop by just to see this car. It's
worth the $6 admission all by itself.  There's a reason it's on display 
in the foyer instead of the main gallery. They wanted to make sure that 
NO ONE missed it!
