This is the Muntz Jet customized by Barris Kustoms and owned by Anthony Heinsbergen. The body was modified by raising the headlight position and extending the fenders to make the headlights, fitted with 1922 Marmon rims, stand out further. A custom tube grille was created,and the rear of the car was smoothed off. The car was painted gold, then fitted with a black convertible top and the fitted luggage (and I'd expect the upholstery in the passenger compartment) trimmed with snakeskin.
At a guess, the car was powered by a 1951 Cadillac V8, driving through a Hydramatic transmission.

LOCKED! This Muntz is powered by a Lincoln engine, the complete interior is trimmed with snakeskin...
Please tell me the car's complete name and its year, so the point will be yours!

"1952 Muntz Road Jet Converible" is what I'm finding online.

[fromwien]

1952 is correct, what I still need is the car's distinctive name

[Zerk]

I see. The July 1952 Motor Trend article on the car was titled "Muntz Golden Boy." Does that seem like the correct answer?

[fromwien]

Indeed, it is! A very well earned point to Zerk! Congratulation
