I'm only guessing, but possibly it's a custom creation made from a VW Bug?

The make eludes me but is is a 50's model using early streamliner styling. I've seem them before, just can't come up with a name. Tatra made some similar designs.

Wow,,,, been a while since I've seen one of those. My dad had a Hudson Commodore, and that was in the early 50's.
