This thing has made its rounds and every time it does, the story grows. I hadn't heard of the purported Disney connection before so that's a new one. 

The instrument cluster bezel resembles an Allstate unit, it's missing the "K". The trunk lid handle was borrowed from a Wllys station wagon and the tail light assemblies look like off the shelf custom units - think JC Whitney. It would be interesting to see the work done in the trunk and under the hood. A good custom shop will finish these areas as well.

While probably done to some now-unknown owner's desire, the car is unique and deserves to be preserved.
