It is a home-built special but I think it's base is just one vehicle.

Bullseye!
I'll lock it for you for 24 hours to see if you can answer the other questions, i.e. who built it and when?

It's a home-built one-off and no others made AFAIK.

kwgibbs nailed this, just needed a two-word search in google and there it was. He and google deserve the point, I just feel like the janitor:

"1948 Crosley, ex-station wagon built by Arnold Johnson. The small Crosley was lengthened and fit with Studebaker front fenders, a 1942 Buick grille, Pontiac hood, Cadillac rear fenders, Auburn deck lid and Pontiac bumpers."
