How to convert an array into a nested plain object

How would I take an array that console.logs as this:

[Kzljszzz15OFcln1XGM, {make: "John Deere ", model: "5055", uid: "Kzljszzz15OFcln1XGM", year: "1953"}]

and turn it into this plain object? :

{Kzljszzz15OFcln1XGM: {make: "John Deere ", model: "5055", uid: "Kzljszzz15OFcln1XGM", year: "1953"}

where it's a key value pair where the value is more key value pairs?

So far I've tried:

const myArray = //the array mentioned above
function toObject(arr) {
        const rv = {};
        for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; ++i) {
        rv[i] = arr[i];
          return rv;
}

console.log(toObject(myArray));

And also:

Object.assign({}, myArray);

These won't even convert myArray into a plain object, let alone the format I'm after for some reason.

I've set after this problem in a couple of totally wrong directions because I was logging from the wrong places in my code. But now I'm sure I'm asking the right question. Any help would be appreciated!

If you want to take even indexes as keys and odd indexes as values, you can convert an array to an object like this:

function toObject(arr) {
  const rv = {};
  for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i += 2) {
    rv[arr[i]] = arr[i + 1];
  }
  return rv;
}

Given an array like this:

var arr = ["Kzljszzz15OFcln1XGM", {make: "John Deere ", model: "5055", uid: "Kzljszzz15OFcln1XGM", year: "1953"}];

The above function will give:

{ Kzljszzz15OFcln1XGM:
   { make: 'John Deere ',
     model: '5055',
     uid: 'Kzljszzz15OFcln1XGM',
     year: '1953' } }

var arr = [ "Kzljszzz15OFcln1XGM" , 
 {
  make: "John Deere ", 
  model: "5055", 
  uid: "Kzljszzz15OFcln1XGM",
  year: "1953"
 }
];

for(var prop in arr) {

 var cheackObjProp = (arr[prop] === "Kzljszzz15OFcln1XGM") ? true : false;
 var obj = {};

 //-------first index of arr----------
 if(cheackObjProp) {

 var objprop = arr[prop];

 //------second index of arr-----------
 }else {
  
  obj[objprop] = arr[prop];
 }

};

console.log(obj);
