Sorry S'land, not the CANT Z1018, but....
EvansB has it...its the North American XB-21. It was a contender for the contract eventually awarded to Douglas for the B-18 (so you were very close RampTramp!). The XB-21 was reported to be twice the cost of the B-18, so, not surprisingly, the B-18 was chosen. I don't know if its just me, but does that fuselage remind you of the Lockheed PV-2 Harpoon?
EvansB has control.

Oh shoot, it was called the 'poor mans Bonanza', but I cannot remember its name.
I'll have another Scotch and see if it comes to me.

barit1 is correct
The 1960 Queen Bee. The sole example was destroyed in 1978, when an arsonist set fire to the San Diego Aviation Museum.

Good find Bri. Interesting little aircraft built by a company new to myself Bee Aviation Associates (Bee Craft). The name must have caused some confusion as it was so near to Beechcraft.
