Vintman Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Hi Folks,Seems a General Motors car of cca 1942 with the wing bulge extending through the door. The stripe and badge down the wing should clinch it, but has left me confused. Looks like a Hydramatic badge of an Oldsmobile but it is seemingly in the wrong place? Wheelhub badge is a giveaway, but not to me. Surely not a Caddy?Enquirer is trying to date her mother, who looks a teenager.Kind RegardsVintman (UK)www.svvs.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Looks like a 1946 or 1947 Oldsmobile to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 It's definitely 46 or 47 Oldsmobile. This is a 47 Sedanette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintman Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Hi,Thanks Keiser and Dave. From what I can see, the smaller eleptical badge on the wing chrome strip appears only in 1946. In 1945 the badge is long and thin, and in 1947 it is long and thin again. Thanks very much for your help.RegardsVintman (UK) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I don't think there was a 45 model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I see what you mean, Vint. It's always nice to learn new ways to Differentiate years of cars especially when they're so close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Yaros Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 The hubcaps in both pics look same/similar, which should make it an Olds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
