Then what is it Harry?

Anywhooos.

Paint is looking really good on it and so is the Alclad chassis.

Then what is it Harry?

I have no idea. Looks like a weird one-off custom or show car of some sort. There were no two-seater Tuckers, and Tuckers were rear-engine.

This is a Tucker:

Looks like the Buick LeSabre concept, with a Studebaker nose. Whatever it is, I like it.

I really like the paint job on this one!

To me it looks like a Studebaker nose on a Stutz Roadster. Interesting for sure.

I thought it was based on a Stutz too. It's a Hot Wheels, could be anything or any combination of things... Nice work BTW.

While I'm not an expert on Hot Wheels cars, I do know that they generally have the car's name on the chassis plate. If it's based on a real car, it will tell you (or some variation on the theme; for instance, their recent mid-engine V-8-powered Corvair that they called the "Vairy 8"). Therefore, see what it says on the chassis. If it's some off-the-wall name, the car is just the figment of some Hot Wheels designer's imagination... with lots of 1950's show car styling cues.

all it has on the chassis is copyright 1990 and the hotwheels logo.

Ahh in that case google hotwheels inventories under the year 1990 and browse images on database pages. Lol trust me this works, i have a collection of over 300

Darn it, you beat me to it! I checked the cars from the 1991 releases, figuring some of them might show a 1990 casting date and I came up with this image, also identified as the "Street Beast":
