"The Frog" is a Pontiac powered Studebaker gasser that's been converted to center steer like a funny car. It's owned and driven by a local guy in my area that goes by the name "Skeets". It's been around for a while...I don't think it's a recent build, I think it's a resurrection. His son has a newer version of the same car called "The Frog II" (or III) which has a modern cage and chassis, is left hand drive, and is powered by a big cubic inch Ford. Skeets was also affiliated with a 'Cuda funny car from the late 60's called "The Baltimore Bandit", but I'm not sure in what manner (he may have driven it, I'm not sure). Skeets used to cruise with us in Glen Burnie when we hung out at the Sbarro's restaurant on Ordnance Rd. On the street he drove an early 50's Willys Overland that was powered by an old school McCulloch supercharged Cadillac engine fed by multiple Strombergs...really weird machine but it ran like a raped ape. I see him from time to time at nostalgia events, but every time I try to get near him to chat, he's always busy with something.
