Nice one - I have some pics of this one, once it's solved (by somebody else).

Experts?

It's a mid-'50s Studebaker customized for  H. Donald Canazzi in the late '50s, who owned a fiberglass boat company. Styling wise it looked it might have been designed by Canazzi himself (at least my source seems to say so), but the mechanic upgrades were done by Bill Frick. It was called the Golden Ray Studillac.

Another point!
Canazzi's boat-building company was Custom Craft of Buffalo, NY, and it's quite likely they carried out the fibre-glass mods to his designs.
Well done!
Now we can have a few more photos of this oddball...

Didn't James Bond's CIA mate , Felix Leiter, drive a Studillac (in the books)?

Just the job if you're working under cover as a spy...!
