National Car co: American Jet car Information needed

I have a prototype car that they built and need information on the company.. believe to be from 1959-1960... Drawings indicate Detroit address.. Please any help is appreciated..my direct info hemi3275@hotmail.com

What address? Can we see a picture of the car?

Was this related to the Arfons brothers at all? I know that Walt Arfons and maybe his brother Art ran a business out of Akron and, I believe, Grand Rapids, in the early '60s that built and sold jet cars for drag strips and speed record attempts. I think it was called American Jet Cars.

That's it. That's one of his drag strip show cars. I saw the Arfons' cars at Detroit Dragway when I was a kid [[I particularly remember Art's Green Monster rail). But I know of no other Detroit connection, so I'd be interested in seeing what information the original poster comes up with in terms of address, etc.

car is a passenger type car...prtotype car
