It doesn't look like a 1935 Pontiac at all. Is the body entirely bespoke or was it sourced from another car ?

He did build other customs, including at least one other car similar to this one and with the same purpose.

Yes, it could be found all along by simply searching for "1935 Pontiac" and no more. :)

Locked for you to identify the names of the vehicle and builder, as well as the special purpose (which has now become obvious).

Built by Josh Campfield from Dunellon. Custom 1935 Pontiac with custom camper trailer. Still looking for the name of the car.

No, the builder gave it a one-word nickname

I've decided to award you a point for finding the vehicle and identifying the builder. The nickname may be difficult to find, so I'll open the thread to all and offer another point for anyone who finds it.
