Well there you go. Unicorns have big noses and I have been sort of agreeing with your non-Kirkham nose on the OP's car.

However the more I look at Larry's seam pictures, the more I am thinking that this is a Kirkham body on a scratch builder's frame. Perhaps the scratch builder may have tweaked the nose somehow when attaching the body to the car. That would also go along with Bill thinking that the body is attached differently than how Kirkham would attach it to the frame.

So I think I will agree with you that this is a unicorn and not a Kirkham, but I think it does have a Kirkham body, just not a Kirkham frame.
