Please identify this car for a point. I only know what the owner mentioned: chassis, coachbuilder and model year.

Let me hazard a guess ....... 1951 Nash (bath tub coupe) cut down for a convertible appearance?

Actually quite the decent design.
Sure wished a little more was shown in the pic.
Stab in the dark, the wiper pedestals remind me of late 40's chev and buick.

Based on a late 40's Buick/GM.

That grille looks like the 'touched by Pininfarina' Nash's of the 1950's.

I thought it a bit garish for Pininfarina  ;)

Was this customized for somebody in show business?

Neither of the two mentioned, but Bohman&Schwartz are closer in terms of recognition
