sixtee5cuda got it. This car was offered for sale last year in Omaha, Nebraska. It appears that its builder was trying to recreate something akin to a Bentley using mainly GM/Chevy components, but also added some Ford elements here and there and decided to label it as a Ford  . In fact at first it was titled as "1934 Ford", I suppose because of the year of the chassis, but later it was inexplicably switched to 1936.
