It would be that. 1953
It is/was in the Petersen museum (I smudged the background of the one pic). Bosley, the son of a wealthy nursery family in Mentor, Ohio, built it when I was a kid. I lived three mi. away in Painesville at the time. $9000 in 1953 was a LOT of money.
""Powered by a Chrysler Hemi engine, the low slung, fiberglass Bosley had an advertised top speed of more than 160 miles per hour. Intended as a dual-purpose sports/racing car, the Bosley had a 55 gallon gas tank which made it ideal for long distance races. Ohio-based creator Richard Bosley found it difficult to secure funding to produce his car in quantity. Built at a cost of over $9,000, this prototype remained the only Bosley GT Mark I ever produced."
