I found that pic, on a certain Website, as a Sports Custom.

With no additional Information. ( except for the lettering on the front...)

It's a "sports custom" all right, not a production car but the man who made it gave it a name. You're halfway home.
While you're at it, you may tell us what it's based on.
Locked for you 72 hours.

Thanks Metalshapes !

It's the Donz Lancer

Lancer was a Sport Custom built by Donz Custom Shop for James Everett of Orlando, Florida. The car was built on a 1952 Chrysler chassis and V-8 engine and incorporated 1951 Ford, Mercury and 1952 Chrysler body panels. The wheelbase on the car was 116 inches and with a ground clearance of 7 inches the car gained a long, low look. The rear deck consisted of a modified 1948 Mercury hood. The interior of the car was upholstered by Orlando Motors; Cohen West fabricated the top. The build took 5 months to complete, and cost James $9,500.00. Once completed the car was featured as one of the top 10 customs in Trend Book 105 Restyle Your Car[1]
