Hey I remember this old car. I saw that episode when I was kid.
This series was called "Fifi brins d'aciers" in French :D

My first thought was that it is a Chevrolet of '47-'48. But details are wrong.

The front pictures clearly show that it is a Pontiac Torpedo of 1948 but it looks like being a four door sedan with the roof sawn off rather than a true convertible ( the rear beltline is too long and the trunk line is too high for a convertible; furthermore the cutouts of the rear door are more or less apparent).

Thanks for the hint. I found a link to show that it is a Pontiac Silver Streak Coupé of 1948 converted to a cabriolet.

Please people, learn one thing. There is nu such thing as a Pontiac Silver Streak! Silver Streak is the name of the engines used in these models.
In 1948 there were two model lines in the USA, the Torpedo (A-Body, shared with Chevrolet) and Streamliner (B-Body, shared with Oldsmobile, Buick and Cadillac).
The convertible was only available for the Torpedo line, the wagon only for the Streamliner series.
This car was originally a 2 door Sedan Coupe. You can see the sloping stainless on the back.
This makes this Pontiac a 1948 2 door Sedan Coupe DeLuxe. DeLuxe because of the stainless spears on the front fender and door and stainless gravel guards instead of rubber ones. The front grill is different from the other years this car was available, 1948 being the last year. It was the first year for the Hydra Matic transmission for Pontiac.
The emblem on the side of the hood could identify this as a 6 or 8 cilinder car, but it appears to be missing.
They made a fastback of both the Torpedo and the Streamliner. Different wheelbase, but otherwise hard to tell the difference.

Also, this is not a convertible, but a coupe or sedan that must have driven under a truck at one point.

Most of the custom-made convertibles are listed as convertible here on the site.
Also, is Rodrigo the owner of the actual car of the movie, or the only the one shown on the photos that he posted?

If his car's plaque says "Stylen" instead of "(body) style", then there is a chance it is the car.

This one doesn't really look custom made; look at the crude dents and creases of where the roof was.

If it is not custom it is factory-made, which it is not :p And the intact windscreen looks like a custom job than an accident.

If he had the car of the movie, he would have posted a photo of it I suppose...

@antp: If you read @Rodrigo_Perú's comment again, you may find the information he has given is about his own car, not the car on this page.

That's what I was supposing, and trying to say to Gamer...
