1955 Alfa Romeo B.A.T.
The Alfa Romeo BAT is an Italian concept car. The car originated from a joint collaboration project between Alfa Romeo and the Italian design house Bertone

It looks like what George Jetson drove before he got airborne.

Does anyone here know which make/model/year car that is? I've never seen one before, I really like it, and I'd like to try to learn more about it.

First, you're not alone. Second, they're cool. Third, that model was produced by Divco from 1937 to 1986 with very few changes, so it was clearly a practical and functional design that got the job done.I have no idea why but I've always been fascinated with those little milk trucks.
I found a decent little Divco a few years back, but my wife's perplexed look brought me back to reality.
It could be a heavily customized Nash.
Whatever it is, I'd take it for a spin.

It's definitely a curiosity. It does appear to have been heavily customized, but it seems odd that a car that had that much work done to it would end up on a used car lot.

⇧ Nice, I've always wanted to see inside one of those thingamajigs .
Is that a prototype or some sort of riff on a Vette?

I'm not a Vette guy, but I believe it was a prototype or concept car.

Corvette prototypes and concept cars over the years have ranged from "interesting" to "what were they thinking?", particularly in the early days, and the "Corvette style" even extended to other prototypes that didn't necessarily bear the Corvette name. The 1954 Chevy Nomad (which never went into production) was essentially a Corvette station wagon...
...and the 1956 Corvette Impala (which also never went into production) was their idea of what a five-passenger sports car could have been:
