The grille itself like Awini pointed out is very 36-37-38,
So I strongly suspect that this is a "Zabardasti Ka Woddy" made by one of USA's so many custom guys.
Well I guess we all were right. Awini and Karl both thought it was a Chevy. Awini spot on mentioned it a 37 shape.
The Chevy theory was not looked into after it was recognised to be a Chrysler. Ram rightly pointed out to it after all being a Chevy 37.

ID:303 is in fact a 1937 Chevrolet Cantrell and is in fact a coach work job and not a factory built wagon built by the Hercules-Campbell body company specialising in coach works for Chevys.
The spare tire was mounted on the side as we see because there was no other place to put it after the modification On the Cantrell, the hood hit the SideMount every time one tried to open the left side. The rear bumper appears to be same as trunkless Deluxe Sedan. The Cantrell, does not appear to have a lift gate either.




Heres the car. Maybe not the same one but a similar..a Special order Campbell I presume??


Contrary to what I thought, it had a cloth lined roof...?? beats me why but i guess it must have been the exclusivity factor

Work in progress
