whatwasthatone: Automotive Movie

There was this movie we watched in school (so...late 90s early 00s is when I watched it, it's probably older). It was about an entrepreneur, the automotive industry and I think I little bit of reference to an assembly line. This guy made/designed this car. This took place back when cars were still starting to become popular (20s? 30s? maybe? not sure, was never good with dates). He made a prototype and it wasn't quite done in time. There was him and his crew rushing to at least make I think the car move onto the platform or something for the buyers. The only thing I remember about the car was it looked like the cars of the age (something like this) and it had a trunk in the front and the motor in the back ("where it should be" said the advertisement). Some contract was reached and he had to make 50 or 200 of these types of cars (this is where I think the assembly line came in). There was some legal case involved. I think about him not being able to reach the deadline or something. But he did make the deadline and all the cars were taken to the court house and parked outside and I remember the guy saying "if you would just look outside!". The people in the court hesitated. At the end of the movie it was all "based on a true story" and it revealed that only the 50 or 200 were made of his car. It was a pretty cool story but I don't remember the name of it. Ideas?
