1950 Nash Statesman 2-door sedan. That is not a custom, this is how it left the factory...
Fucked if I know how to change a flat tyre on that thing... But what else to expect from a company that built appliances!
While we are talking about Nash-Kelvinator, here is another one, the Metropolitan:
It basically a Bizarro Cobra: square, ugly, slow, american heavy body with anemic British Drivetrain...
And you thought Bob Parr's car was fictitious!

The 67 X (also Toronado 67X, Esso 67X, Toronado 70-X or 70 X) is a Canadian-built automobile, based on the Toronado, that was designed and manufactured by automobile customizer George Barris for Canada's Expo 67, where they were raffled off in a contest sponsored by Esso. Only four of these vehicles were ever made but they included swiveling seats, a sofa, and even a refrigeration unit, with an overall sleek-looking design. Commercials for this vehicle were aired in the Stanley Cup Playoffs final game between the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs.[11]
