Is it an accessory supplier?  The car is a '42-45 Buick.  This top looks like it would fit most GM convertibles of the era.  They may have also made the fancy side trim bits and the swoopy mirrors.

Let's say it's a "Coach Corporation" Locked for you until your next reply!

Now that we know it's a Buick :

Don't lock for me.  I don't have much chance of figuring this one out.

That's a weird one.  At first, I thought it was a '42 Special, but now that it's whole, you can see it has a '47/8 Special grille.  I'm going to guess the car was once a '47 or '48 Special 2-door Sedanet, but I have no idea who turned it into a roadster!

How about a funeral car builder like S&S Hess & Isenhardt?
Actually Flxible was more known for using Buick based funeral coaches.

I must say the lines in the windshield/roof area really are not all that well done.
Makers of hearses and ambulances usually had a better eye for proportions than this car!

Sorry VVV  :-[

Not by Darrin.

The same company made retro-style Packards.

The maker is known as the Bayliff Coach Corporation, Lima, OH.

An even longer name refering to their "Packards" is shown at the plate of the pictured car:
