Does it have something to do with Gaylord ?

This is Jim Webb's Savage, based on a '48 Chevy chassis with a Pontiac V8. He later sold the moulds to La Dawri who marketed it as the Centurian 21.

Quite so.
And to answer pguillem's question, no it has no connection with the Gaylord, but I would say it must have influenced its appearance!

How about Raymond Loewy then?

No to that too.

is it an American custom-built car?

galrot · « **Reply #15 on:** June 04, 2016, 08:13:02 AM »

Right country, but it depends on what you mean with custom car. The whole body is new from the ground up.

is it a one-off with a 1960 ford thunderbird as a base?

galrot · « **Reply #17 on:** June 04, 2016, 08:39:41 AM »

Not the right base. It is possible that more cars were constructed with the design, but I'm only aware of this one.

Hiawatha · « **Reply #18 on:** June 04, 2016, 08:43:05 AM »

Chevrolet base?

galrot · « **Reply #19 on:** June 04, 2016, 08:52:18 AM »

Yes.
