Just a guess - maybe a 1934 Cadillac?

Looks like it is done very well. Probably has crowds around it at shows.
Agreed that it looks to be a quality conversion - I'm not exactly wild about the small size of the side windows, that looks a little weird. I'm wondering about how difficult ingress and egress might be for a person of fairly robust size. Squeezing in between the "A" and "B" pillars looks like it could be rather tight.

Noticed this on Facebook Marketplace - just in case someone here might be interested, here is a link to the FB ad, plus a couple of photos.
As noted, this is not my car and I am not familiar with the seller.

his wife is a tenured school teacher and a butcher's daughter so hopefully they will never go hungry.
There should be a country song in there somewhere, ha ha. Not to take away from this proud moment - congratulations on a job well done!

Add a porthole on each side and Broderick Crawford might be interested. Or, maybe not. Based on the photos, the price doesn't seem too terribly out of line. As was mentioned by auburnseeker, especially in the eastern USA.

In the early 70s, my uncle gave me a 1955 Dodge 1/2 ton very similar to the one pictured, minus the quarter windows, long bed and rear bumper. I believe it had what was called the "Poly" V8 with 3 on the tree. It was geared very low and had incredible torque.
Alas, the 18 year-old engine didn't stand up very long under a 20 year old lead foot. These Job-Rated pickups are under-rated, in my humble opinion.

Don't we all hate when a poster titles his subject "what is it" in the What Is It forum! C'mon man! give it a proper title, just go in and edit. Title like "Circa 1900 9-Passenger Vehicle.
You bring up a valid point. I'm a major offender about putting "What Is It" in the subject box - it seemed appropriate at the time. I never gave a thought to going back to edit the title, which is a good idea, as it would let others know the question has been solved.
I will go back and edit some of my previous posts. Thank you.

Occasionally, someone builds one of these where everything comes together in the right sort of flow. I don't believe this is one of those times. This is for sale on Facebook Marketplace.

I'm not at all familiar with this make, but I'm guessing a 1960s time frame. Seems like a nice car, and it is driven regularly. I see it once or twice a week.

Sorry for the poor quality cellphone photo. I saw this in a local picture framing shop. Due to my apparent interest, the shop owner asked if I could identify the car. I cropped the photo to bring the car in closer, but you pay a price in clarity when you do so. The bumper made me wonder if it might be a 1920s Buick, but I'm just not that familiar with cars of this era.
Thanks in advance for your responses.

Even the big three did it with models. They start out with something new and exciting then redesign it to the point that it is nothing like the original vision of the car. Buick Skylark and Olds Starfire come to mind. Think about a '50s Starfire and a late '70s Starfire. Same for the Buick Skylark. Glad they finally put some of those models to rest before they ended up being the name for the stalls in the restroom at GM headquarters, about the next step down the ladder I think.
That crack about being the name for stalls in the restroom tickled the whiz outta me. And, I could not agree more with what you said about new and exciting in the beginning, only to become anything but that.

Sitting outside Sevierville, TN today 7/16/2018 - I texted the number on the for sale sign. Guy is asking $8500. Engine is a 289 V8, automatic tranny with supposedly 69,000 original miles. Car is pretty clean, dinged on the RF near the headlight. I took a bunch of photos, but could only post a couple due to file size.
Don't know the seller, don't know a thing about the car. Price seems sorta high to me - I know this is not one of the more popular Fairlanes, but it is one of my favorites. I would imagine it could be bought for less than what was quoted in the text.
I have a bunch of pics, should anyone be interested enough to see them. Interior looks original, worn, but reasonably clean. The top rear seat cushion has split open from sun exposure. Car was locked up, couldn't really see inside that well.
Seller can be texted at 865-603-5177. Sign on the car says TEXT ONLY - MAKE OFFER

Wow! That was undoubtedly a total beast before being neglected. I hope someone saves it. Keiser, old cars must hatch around you.

Saw this ad whilst browsing Facebook, or Spacebook, as I call it, Marketplace this morning. The link to the ad on Facebook is directly below. The only info listed is on the Dodge pickup, though the seller does mention that all three vehicles are available at one price.

Found the photos of this interesting vehicle on the 247 Autoholic site.

Well, I cheated and did a Google Image Search. If the search proved accurate, the car is a 1908 Maxwell Briscoe Model H. I have absolutely no idea if that is correct. I remember trying to ID this photo some time back. Apparently, I did not think to do a Google Image Search at that time.

Hubcaps look sort of like the Chevrolet bow tie. Here is a 1930 Chevrolet for comparison.

I would go for Oldsmobile because the hood side trim is even longer than that on the Buick.
Think I'm gonna change my mind and go with the Oldsmobile, too. Hood trim seems to match it better than anything else. Sure thought the grille looked like a LaSalle or Caddy, though.....

What about a 39 La Salle?
-
Quite an oddball, for sure. Family resemblance to the Chevy & GMC of that year, though the cab seems a little taller and the door windows are arched a bit more.

Those cars stop very very well if the brake job is done properly.You can lock em up easily if you want.
Agreed, they stop very well, and you can lock them up easily - unless the master cylinder blows out. I blew out the MC on a 1954 T&C Station Wagon - every single thing had been rebuilt or replaced in the braking system, with the exception of the power booster.
Traveling about 50 mph, I topped a hill, only to see traffic backed up at the bottom of the hill. I hit the brake firmly, to give enough time to bring that heavy beast to a stop. The pedal caught for a moment, then slammed to the floor. I'm very grateful that the car had a good-functioning emergency brake.
That taught me a lesson I won't forget.
What car is in this photo ?

My guess is possibly a 1941 Hudson.....
