keiser31 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) If you mean the car in the lower right, I would think maybe 1949-51 Ford. Edited March 28, 2017 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Keiser - the two-toned car with whitewall tires is definitely a 1949-51 Ford, and I'm reasonably certain it's from 1951. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 It was the two tone that has me confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosmo Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 In the original photo, the paint scheme on the Ford is, to me, reminiscent of a taxicab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Schramm Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Is it possible that the photo is reversed. What if it was flipped over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The light coloured car is a Ford Popular perhaps? I think you're close, Spinneyhill. I'm quite sure that the vehicle at the top of the picture is a Fordson E83W, produced 1938-57. Even though it is a long distance picture, the large painted hubcaps common to the E83W are noticeable. The light coloured car is too big to be a "Pop", though. They were two door, four light saloons. This car is a four door, six light saloon which to me looks like a 1938-48 Hillman Minx. Both of these vehicles were quite common where I grew up (Victoria, British Columbia) and as a very young car nut I became very familiar with examples of each of them.
