As pictured, the engine was unique to this car. Originally, it had an engine from another early automobile

I got that backwards. As pictured, the car had a non-proprietary engine from another car.

I don't know if the car still exists.

It did still exist in early 1950's. A picture from that year shows this car in a much-modified state, with a different radiator, wheels, and with 2 headlights

With all of the info sprinkled throughout this puzzle, this is not so hard to solve.

Is this a car manufactured by the "Ohio Automobile Company" that later became Packard?

No, the car is a one-ff. I was referring to the source of the puzzle pictures
