Scott Bonesteel Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 OK, I know I must be missing something obvious here but this one has me stumped. Looks like 34-36 sedan, single pane rear window, headlights out, but several odd features: big body belt line, tail lights that look like a later Hudson, both front and rear doors hinged off the B-pillar (suicide fronts), no real rain gutter and doors that run right up into the roof. This was a two-page spread in this month's (September 2016) Smithsonian magazine, an article about migrants from the south into the north in the mid-30s.

keiser31 Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) Maybe a 1935 Reo by the taillamp. Looks almost like a European body. Edited September 16, 2016 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a different series or model, again, this one has me stumped. Plate on the photo is a Florida 1940 so the car was relatively new at the time the photo was taken.
