Before it became a custom Lead-Sled w/ Merc tailights, I "think" it was a 1952 Buick Special Deluxe Riviera.

Great Choice Blue- Had me scratching my head a bit..

The back bumper had me leaning towards a 1952 Oldsmobile, & I almost changed my answer, but the body line on the side didn't match that. So I stuck with Buick Rivera, & the 3 piece back window helped. The Merc taillights look good, but easy to see it was no Merc.

So cool that rollers were needed under the rear end to prevent the bumper from scraping on the ground.

Bummer the original "Blue Danube" got crushed... But they made a very good clone in 1998.

The original Blue Danube garnered a lot of attention, appearing on the cover of Trend Book 143 - Restyle Your Car. It also showed up in the March 1958 issue of Custom Cars, and in an episode of the television show The Twilight Zone.

The bump on the rear fender reminds me of a Cadllac

It became this?





Looks like a series 62 Caddy,





It does have the grille like a 1947 Lincoln so someone customized it. Like Sam or George Barris or maybe Sam Foose , possibly Dean Jefferies




and the Buick style hood latches, lots of different cars made up this ride!

Lincoln?

Looks like it's from the 40's, whatever it is.

Try this one...I'm sorry I didn't see that Greybeard wasn't done yet.
