That thing screams "Joel, buy me".
I have seen a few of those car campers before, one local wrecking yard had six one time, 55 to about 64 Caddys and a 59 Lincoln. All quite rotted.  I didn't realize they used the trunk for the floor.

But the add say's "Edsel OHV 6-cylinder engine. Runs strong.
Torque and power are well balanced"......Well balanced if its parked.

Growing up, there was a gold '50's caddy motorhome that sat for decades, parked in the street in front of a house.  Long before I was old enough to know any better.  It just disappeared and never saw again.
