The ugliest car ever made....

Looks like a 50's US with the top (waist up) of a 30's saloon....

Truly unique (I hope)

It does have a Ford flathead V8 but the transmission is from something else, the frame from something else again and body parts from yet another car!  I also have a name and a date for the car, so really I need those before I can give you your point.
It's not actually called the Captain's Custom Car but something completely different..
Still locked for you of course.

Apparently it had a willys chassis and front suspension from Hudson,Im guessing 1957, but is the name a one word title?

The Willys bit is right but I didn't know about the Hudson suspension, which I'm surprised about beause the car is said to have been built long before 1957, though I'm not sure I believe that...
It's name is not one word: there's a word then two numbers followed by two more words.

I don't mind but you can't atually attach pictures to PMs so you'll have to send it to my email address, which you will find in my personal profile.
