Found this one on a well-known blog source.

Apparently it's a Ford Special built c.1952/53 by Vincent A. Hunihan in New Haven, Connecticut.
The car is based on a Ford Model T chassis with a Ford Model A rear end. Engine is a Ford V8 of 60 bhp.
It is reported that he spent only $300 in the building process and the hardest part was the fabrication of the radiator which was made by sawing a regular Ford radiator in half and then soldering more than 100 holes in the core.

According to the report Mr Hunihan is still with us and more details will be forthcoming in the future.
