That's a display from the Movieland Wax Museum in Buena Park, California.

I did some more Googling. The contents of the museum were sold off in 2006. Apparently, the Model T was sold for $3,750.

At first, I thought the car was just a mocked-up prop but after looking at the photos it does to appear to have been a well built, home made speedster with commercially made fenders.

I found a shot with the hood open showing the motor on the passenger side but I can't get the link the work properly when I copy and paste it.
