Here is the dumbest thing in the world. It’s a custom 1934 Ford with three Chevy(!!) V-8s in a row.
But only two provide motive power; the third (the one in the middle, for some reason)...runs the cooling system? The second best/worst part is all the Jaguar logos in the interior. Because this idiot called his Ford-based, Chevy-engined monster a Panther, you see. And Panthers, like Jaguars, are large felines.
!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
And while, looking at the photos, it was clearly a labor of love, still... what the hell? Imagine the turning radius.
The only redeeming thing about it is that it’s basically Cruella DeVille’s car from the original 101 Dalmations.

Cruella should have driven a DeVille.

I have to assume that once he’d gotten two he found it hard to stop. Perfectly understandable.

That’s not a ‘34 Ford. THIS is a ‘34 Ford:

Quad nailheads it looks like, interesting.

I like it a lot. The proportions are beautifully cartoonish, like Cruella’s car.
Also, there is a car similar to this called the Panther de Ville, which is what Cruella drove in the live film. No idea if this car has any relation to that company.

Can someone please explain the part of 1 engine just for cooling?

The amount of torque can result in the longest rolling burnout. I wonder what transmission it has...

Well, the 34 Ford Model 40 get around 28 mpg on a V8. So, this should get around 9 mpg, maybe?

I’m guessing there’s no pistons or rods in it. Maybe not even a crank, but a straight shaft to transmit power. “Functions as part of the cooling system” means water circulates thru the block and heads like a really ineffective radiator.
