I have a picture dated 1967, but I don't know if that's when it was built; looks older to me. But I do have a name for the builder...

Is it built from a 1960 Buick with the roof cut off? Mounted on a truck chassis?

It might have been inspired by a '59/60 Buick Electra but the body is different, so I would almost certainly say No, it doesn't use a Buick body.
