The ever watchful eye of Nick Koleszar brought this 1934 McQuay Norris out of the Internet to light. Only about half a dozen were made in the USA, but one or two are still seen in special events around the Nation. McQuay-Norris was a maker of automobile engine parts such as piston rings, and chassis parts.

In January 1936 McQuay-Norris produced a fleet of six cars called aluminum eggs because of their strange appearance. The cars were released in New York and in other locations in the United States. Each auto was a part of testing of pistons, piston rings, and other engine parts manufactured by McQuay Norris. The bodies of the aluminum eggs were mounted on standard chassis of cars of different brands. They were driven in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, in different climates and highway conditions.
