It took a while, but the VW Fastback’s trunk eventually was identified, and as I predicted, it was by an owner. Congratulations to Jimal. Now here we have something that’s obviously a bit different, and I’m afraid google images won’t be much help here either. I will tell you two things about: it is a production vehicle, and a land-based one at that, even if it does have a certain aeronautical quality to it. Whoever gets this will receive a gold star in the mail.

Oh lord, a Saab story!
Yes yes yes. The round exhaust… the transmission below the engine… must be an early 900 or 99. (I owned an ’88 900 and I don’t remember it having all that tacked on crap on the undercarraige)
Saab Sonnet III
An Aerocar?
It looks like an Airstream Caravan stuck on to an ancient GMC chassis…
(Did someone rip the back off a Grumman Kubvan and stick an Airstream on instead?)
The curvature reminds me of the Airstream. I’m thinking a classic Airstream motorhome. The Airstream motorhome was built on the GMC chassis. The white tubing would be the fresh water overflow.
This looks like an Ultra-Van. These used the Corvair engine and drivetrain and had aircraft style riveted aluminum construction.

Fiat 850 fastback??
A 2CV?
A 1949 Nash Ambassador with a “urinal” integrated into the driver’s seat. Quite handy on long trips.
