On page 301, this book says:
"
On January 13, 1942, the Curtiss Engineering Department proposed a radical design, described as a [font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]3-place fighter, consisting of a crew of a pilot and two gunners (one of them firing to the rear) with four .50 caliber guns. It was to have mounted a single Wright Tornado engine with Acrotorque propeller drive, and two Allison engines. It did not proceed beyond the concept stage.[/font]

I'm afraid there's nothing in the book beyond the words that were originally posted above. No photos, no drawings, nothing further to dig into. And it's not in the very extensive list of CW Model #s at the back of the book either. The book itself is pretty great though, lots of photos of P-36s in particular that I've never seen before, also P-40s and others.
