That's not a Beech 17 - it's a kit-built, all-composite (fiberglas)
modern design of similar configuration.

Note the lack of interplane struts, the single-strut main landing
gear, and the smooth surface of the wings and fuselage (not fabric
over ribs and stringers).

I forget what the designer called this "retro" design, but I saw one
on display at the kit-seller's booth at Oshkosh '96, so they've been
around for a while.
