I think this one is quite interesting. There's no point for identifying the donor itself. However, if you identify both the donor and its builder correctly, I'll give you a point!
Experts?
Professionals?
Just come across an advert in 1951 for a road-going Type 37 Bugatti that looks of similar proportions.
I doubt if this is the base car but.......?
No, this is not Bugatti-based
Ah, I thought not....
Is it European?
The chassis or the complete car?
The chassis (I presume they are different)
The chassis is not European
American chassis?
Yes, chassis is American
Buick?
Not from one of the Big 3
Stutz?
Not Stutz
Auburn?
Not an Auburn
Cord?
More common
Hudson?
Not a Hudson
Studebaker?
A development of the Chrysler LeMans cars?
The chassis is a Studebaker. The body is European
Italian body?
Nope
Julius Johanson drove it - did he built it, too?
I believe so. Give me the country and the point is yours - obviously locked for you
Estonia, I believe
And another point for you. With the help of Google, I gathered that this special bodied Studebaker was built and raced in Estonia in the late 1940s by Julius Johanson
Google was my co-pilot, too ;D

Sorry, but late 1940s is completely impossible. Sice 1948 foreign mechanicals were banned in Soviet racing. This car was surely raced in 1935 when Johanson has established an Estonian speed record (1km flying start, 148,8 km/h).
Please , make, model, and year , for 1 point ! :)
