possibly started out as an airport tug? Great if you have limited garage space!

I have no idea exactly what this is other than it was not built in a factory.  Looks like an airport tug
It reminds me of that old Johnny Cash song "One Piece At A Time"
Most of it appears to be from a Willys Americar. The hub caps and steering wheel say Americar on them.There is a script on it that reads "CHAPULIN" Maybe the person who created it? 
The front fenders look, conspicuously like a 41 Oldsmobile with a radical restructuring.
The rear section almost looks like a Jeep tub. It has 16" wheels and they have a 5 lug pattern. I just put 2 new 6.00X16" tires on it. The two left tires were shredded. Definitely older as the driver's side lugs are left hand thread.  It has a 4 cylinder motor with a standard trans. It does not currently run. I don't know anything about the history but would really like to. It is so cool. If anyone knows something about it PLEASE let me know.
It was on a ranch in Santa Margarita when I found it.  No plates, title etc. That stuff is long gone. I don't know if it was ever registered or not. Sold on a bill of sale. Not much rust, dents or body damage.
There is a trunk on the back. The continental kit folds out of the way so you can open it.
I am asking $3500  email: 3dc1e4c7ea053a22a6b73e0d32f29267@sale.craigslist.org

The heavy horizontal ridges on the fender, and the instrument portion of the dash make those parts likely to be from a '41 Pontiac.
