Bullseye!
I'll lock it for you for 24 hours to see if you can answer the other questions, i.e. who built it and when?

It's a home-built one-off and no others made AFAIK.

kwgibbs nailed this, just needed a two-word search in google and there it was. He and google deserve the point, I just feel like the janitor:

"1948 Crosley, ex-station wagon built by Arnold Johnson. The small Crosley was lengthened and fit with Studebaker front fenders, a 1942 Buick grille, Pontiac hood, Cadillac rear fenders, Auburn deck lid and Pontiac bumpers."
