My initial impression is some sort of stylized one-off but a Corvair underneath.  I'm getting that vibe from the door and the vent window.  Also no front grill.  But, this then makes the side pipes some sort of poser-ad-on.  Also, there is a trunk mounted fuel door on the silver car that wouldn't jive with a Corvair.

Wheels appear to be Borranis so Ferrari maybe (one that has been butchered)?  But then the Italians were notorious for creating one offs that looked like the product of a bad dream.

I see Studebaker Hawk in greenhouse and front fender vents, but the nose and tail and rear glass are "different"

The dash looks big-3 domestic and the nose is fugly enough that I'm going to say custom...

But the quality of the removable hardtop (headliner, etc.) and the wheels suggests high-end something.

Corvair was never that round but it has a 'Vair dash.  Mexican kit car?

I called it. 1956 studebaker power hawk

If the top is removable, that's part of the customization. Check front fender vent, fender and door body line, and interior view of rear quarter window.
