It’s a ’65 Chevy Chevelle with custom headlight buckets from a ‘59 Impala and taillights from ‘65 Pontiac Bonneville or Catalina, Very Nice Custom Car!
Looks an awful lot like a 64-65 Chevelle that's been customized with things like 65 Pontiac parking lamps, maybe 61-62 Pontiac tail light lenses, the rear bumpers from a 59 Buick, the hood center looks to be from a 63-64 Cadillac, '59 Chevy headlight surrounds, a custom fabricated top (that's on an INGENIOUS mechanism), and a custom Continental kit... It's absolutely KOOL... Although I'd extend the Connie kit about five inches, so that the spare tire would lean forward toward the trunk lid a little bit... It looks kind of broken to me with the tire leaning backwards. Otherwise, it's absolutely a beautiful car!
I was going to say highly, but subtly, modified Buick. But, everyone else is saying Chevelle, Impala, or Malibu, which is reasonable. They probably know better than I. Either way, it's clearly GM. And, outside of the convertible roof setup, this looks like it could be a concept car from the late 50's, to show what the mid-60's could bring, stylistically. The branding is cool; along with the patent number, it's almost like someone was trying to start a small car company, along the lines of Stutz (Bearcat or Blackhawk ), Excalibur (Phaeton or SS) , or Dunham Coach (Caballista or Corvorado). Perhaps they got a prototype built, complete with custom molded emblems and hood ornamentation, but failed to find investors, so they cut their losses, sold the car, and moved on. The only thing, really, that keeps this from looking like a pristine example of the 60's, is the modern, low profile tires. Period correct white walls, with period correct rim sizing (staying with the chrome spokes, obviously)would really set this car off, and make it look super sexy. Oh, and a chrome bezel around the taillights; the lack of chrome treatment on the taillights makes the car look unfinished, which is a shame, because a lot of work was put into this car. It's too bad that work stopped before the taillights were properly dressed. Back to the original question of "What is it?" What does the title say that is? The VIN plate should have some insight into what the car may be, assuming that it's still there. Perhaps the frame and engine have ID stampings that could provide some insight.
You my friend have literally researched it and I appreciate you. WOW 💓. The whole thing was to see what people thought it was ,the person who owns it is a good friend of mine I am going to have him read it right down to the unfinished stuff. Thanks again 👊
It's a 64 or 65 Malibu / impala it's a Chevy it's just custom made Spanish people has swag and artistic wen it comes to building cars ,my name is Andy aka FLAK from Paterson nj
definitely looks like a '64 Chevelle or Malibu with custom everything. Not sure what the grill is from...Tailights look '64 Pontiac. I would check for documentation under the back seat
@@AnarchylabzI'd bet that it was a 2 door hardtop that was either rolled over and wrecked (then the roof was cut off) or it was a regular convertible to begin with that was damaged beyond repair, and someone thought up that ingenious mechanism for the Carson style roof for it... I'd have to see how the roof clamps to the top the windshield to be certain. Cheers!

The trunk looks to long but good guess I'm still not Sure
No it's a 64 modified

'65 Chevelle was my first guess from the body lines.
@brianwilson6403 most people are leaning that way
It's a modified 64 Chevy Chevelle/Malibu.

64 Malibu, Lincoln something, Jaguar stuff in it too, De Soto in there, Pontiac tail lights, 🤯
"It's sweeeeeet!"
L'aiglon means baby eagle in French. It's kinda nice with the top down whatever it is,chevelle mashup? I'll put some cragar star wires on it.
You sir are correct
'64/'65 Malibu
Thinking that's sounds about right
At first glance a '65 Malibu or '66 AMC Rebel...I went with Malibu when I saw the dash board.
64 Malibu
Thank you I appreciate you
It has Malibu dash Chevelle front cap
Looks like a '64 Malibu with '64 Pontiac taillights
Good call on the tail lights 👌 I didn't think about that
It has some 64 malibu and maybe some buick in it also but im not sure
That makes 2 of us thanks I appreciate you
I was picking up serious Buick vibes, myself. Except, of course, from those clearly Pontiac taillights.

1964 Chevelle
Trunk is too long 😊I think
That's what I said it's a 64 front clip
Nice!!!!!
65 Fairlane on the rear sides and a 64 Malibu in the front. both cars are technically the same size.
I think it started out as a 1964 Chevy impala.
It has a US Patent and the name, still not Sure
My initial guess is a 64- 65 Malibu with a custom grille and headlamps
That's the vote it's getting..lol
Awesome car🙌💯
Thank you for the kind words
Here's the thing about this car watch and see it's going to go down in history. It is so customized that you've never seen anything like it
65 Chevelle front-end with a 65 Impala and Continental rear-end.
Too long of a trunk

@@slicksnewonenow that's a whole movie script.lol. I think you might be on the right track.. thanks for your input and support
I’m guessing a 64 impala with a ton of modifications based on its lines.
it's a customized 1st gen Malibu
Seems about right.. I appreciate you
64 Chevelle
That seems to be the Consensus the trunk seems kinda longer though
That's a bad attempt of a custom car.
Thanks for the input 👍 cheers
