Title: Nice Roadster #467 - Harry B. Johnson's American Austin

For one point: Identify this car, and the person responsible for its modified appearance.   

Only a correct, complete and specific answer will earn a point; tag-on's to other guesses will not. So, be specific and complete!

I think this a sort of custom car, so I ask if it's Ford based?

I had to dig in almost a hundred sites about american custom, but It seems I found it:   This should be a custom car realized by Harry B. Johnson using an American Austin as base car.
