If you can post pictures of the car, including the frame work in the engine bay, most of the members here can tell you whose it is.

It appears to be an early Beck.....Check the rear most cross member, on the passenger side, and you should find the "VIN". The glass work looks a little rough, but with that much age, what can you expect.....
As they say, "That S**t will buff out!!"

Good luck with the project...
