ID:781 is a 1936 Stout Scarab
One of probably nine built in Dearborn, MI, by William Stout -- the aeronautical engineer famous for the Ford Tri-Motor "Tin Goose". His credo was "Simplicate. Add lightness"

Construction was a light aluminum monocoque. The aerodynamically designed Scarab had glass flush with the sheetmetal like an airplane.

A rear-mounted 3.6 litre 85 bhp Ford flathead V8, drove the rear wheels via a custom three-speed manual transaxle. It had 4-wheel independent coil spring suspension. The doors had electric door locks.

Seating was unusual and flexible.

About five Scarabs survive today.

You are correct sir!

Looking at the seats, seems unusual, nothing like ' seat adjustment ' available in them. No sliding kind of arrangement or maybe a seat height adjuster etc. No seat belts visible either.
Though a great looking thing but very much unsure about its commercial application. Its looking like one of those mods done by Jezza of an S class in one of the TG episodes.

AltoHoncho: Speaking of seat belts, what do we know about the year 1936?

This is a 1936 car that could be seen in India.

This is the Waco YQC-6 single radial engine airliner that Tata Air Lines flew in 1936. It had five seats. Its wings were made of fabric stretched over tubing!

This was its cockpit. One would be surprised if even aircraft had seatbelts back in 1936.

These aircraft started flying Bombay-Indore-Bhopal-Gwalior-Delhi on 6 December 1937. They were made of canvas fabric stretched over a metal skeleton.

Volvo invented seat belts in 1949. However American cars, the 1949 Nash "inverted-bathtub" and 1955 Ford Thunderbird offered lap belts -- that too as options.

The first car to offer seat belts as standard was the 1958 Saab of Sweden.

How can we expect a seatbelt in a 1936 American car, even the most advanced one?

Here's a neat one...........

ID:782 is a 1954 Ford Vendôme made by Ford France SA, Poissy.

Designed in Detroit, the Ford Vedette and its luxury offering: the Ford Vendôme, were the first cars to feature MacPherson strut independent front suspension.

The Vendôme had two-tone paintwork and the chrome embellishment rising from the rocker panel below the doors and skirting the rear wheel arch.

While the Vedette had a a French 2,158 cc Aquillon sidevalve V8 engine, the Vendôme had a 3,927 cc Mistral V8 engine breathing through a Zenith-Stromberg carburettor and developing 100 bhp @ 3200 rpm and 240 Nm torque @ 1900 rpm.

There was also a station wagon version called the Ford Vendôme Abeille.
