Nope, it's a 1954 Ford Custom.

Article from hotrod.com

1954 Ford Custom - Hot Rod Magazine

What It Is Bryant's fantasy is a topless '54 Ford Custom turned tail-dragger assuming many different body parts (grossly modified, of course) from several years of '50s vintage Fords. In fact, Dean likes to play a little game with donors' origins. Let's just call it a mid-'50s Ford. At a car show like the Grand National Roadster Show, it is classified as a Radical Postwar Convertible. And that the frame was built in '54-or was that really '53? It doesn't matter. This isn't a car anyone of us will ever own. Think of it as an eccentric friend, one you might know but never really know about.

I’m still looking for the old thread about rare and obscure automobiles, so here’s a beauty , from mid last century, only one of one!



The car! I can’t post many photos

Some of the concept cars many bubble tops were the futuristic look. They got the idea from 'The Jetson's'.

Bubble top cars date back to the early fifties, at we’re inspired by the bubble covers of jet fighters ,

The Jetsons premiered in 1962.
