 Looks a little like a 50's 500cc F3 car legalised for the road. Cooper, Kieft, that sort of thing.

 I think it's that Indian motorcycle-powered car that was found on American Pickers a while back; but it's not on the IMCDb page for that show.

 I agree with 62Imperial. 'Bout halfway down that page:
Quote "Belly Tanker" Photos Surface @ WTT after decades lost!!!-- See it Labor Day Weekend only at Wheels Through Time!

After almost 60 years, amazing new photos of the Indian-powered "Belly Tanker" surface at Wheels Through Time.

About two weeks ago, I got a call from a man named Robert Ruzella from Ventura, California. Robert was the builder of the "Belly Tanker" and recently saw the episode of American Pickers when Mike and Frank sold the machine to Wheels Through Time, whereupon he decided to give us a ring and share a little bit of history.

Robert is now in his 80s, and had a wealth of information about the early days of Hot Rodding in Southern California. He was able to share most of the machines story, including his memories of winning the first hot rod show it ever entered in 1953. He even mentioned that he had the original trophy he won from that event. In total, we must have spent 30 or 45 minutes chatting about not only the belly tanker, but cars and bikes general. It was more than a pleasure to talk with him, and I learned quite a bit from our conversation.

 This car appeared in a couple of magazines, claiming it to be the work of Theron Huish, from Los Angeles.
