keiser31 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Looks like a 1941 Oldsmobile to me. Here is the coupe version... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I thought maybe 1942 Plymouth but keiser is right I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I originally thought Plymouth, but that humpy rear end didn't jive. The flat rear, wheel well opening upper area is another giveaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 On this one, you can see the lower fender detail by the rear bumper. This one is a different model with different trim and bumpers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packard Don Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 First glance it appeared to be an early postwar Ford but they all seem to have trim or scallop on the rear fender while this car’s are smooth. Also note chrome or stainless stone guard while these others are black rubber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Henderson Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Agree with Keiser, it's a '41 Olds, (and as such is not postwar). The door window curve shows that it does not have rear quarter windows that '42 and postwar GM convertibles had. It's Olds because of the rear fender's configuration and that of the bumper's end. The chrome gravel shields were a dress-up item, perhaps aftermarket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Henderson Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Incidentally, '41 Olds convertibles were not produced in large numbers. The figures are; Model 66, 2,812; Model 96, 325; Model 98; 1,263. Interestingly, a Model 98 "Convertible Phaeton" was produced in the quantity of 119. I can't recall ever seeing any of these four open Oldsmobiles, and I was an avid car watcher in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
