Home-built custom on a 1950-ish Mercury body?

Not Mercury, but who did this, worked on a Mercury too.
The car had originally a different design and was modified during its life.

I really have no idea who built this, but I suspect that if it's not a Mercury, then judging by the lights, it may be a '49 - '50 Lincoln donor car.  ???

I'll have to check. Consider that is not the original grille but the car was modified later.

Not 49. It is a sum of different parts.

So it's actually the same car as this but with later modifications:
