You're close - I'll give a hint. It is a racer and proposed military plane.

It's at Patterson, right?, but is it a Wedell-Williams? The pix I remember of those planes had the wheels in the undercarriage enclosed, but this one has open wheels...

Close enough! It is a Wedell-Williams - XP-34. He was trying to sell a retractable version of his racer to the US Army Air Corps.
