Very good Greg, 1946 Funk. I had never seen or heard of it until this past weekend, very nice restored airplane.

Here are some photos that Tom took of the Funk last Saturday. 
Yep, they made them in Coffeyville, KS. A guy in Pittsburg owns one and Tom gives him his Flight Review in it every two years. He took me flying in it once...an interesting airplane, but not one I would want to own.

Just as Cubs should be yellow, Funks should be blue ...

Too easy, when the registration number (G-OVAG) is clearly visible and thus searchable.
At least it's an example of a homebuilt type of which a number was built. It's tougher when it's a one-off, like the one on the left:
Four-seat, all-metal, O-290 engine, fifty years old.
