TerryB Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Looks like it might be a 1946 Plymouth coupe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 40s Mopar coupes have a slanted B pillar. I was thinking Chevy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosmo Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 My guess is possibly a 1941 Hudson..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39BuickEight Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Not the Hudson mentioned-door handle in the wrong place and the front fenders are more square in the initial photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosmo Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I do think that the overall shape of the body in the original post resembles a 40-41 Dodge or Plymouth, but the B pillar appears vertical, rather than slanted. Unless the angle of the photo is altering its appearance, that post is vertical. There aren't that many cars from this period with vertical B pillars. If the car in the original post is not American, that could throw everything off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Henderson Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Looks like a '40 Plymouth to me. The B pillar is controversial. The picture is so bad that I can imagine it either vertical or angled. The gas cap (i'm guessing the bright spot is it) is in the right place, the tail lights too. The hood has some short trim on the side about where it is on '40 Plymouths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) Sure does look like a 1940 or 1941 Plymouth business coupe. Pretty fuzzy photo, though. The Daves may be correct. Something does seem off, though. Edited November 28, 2018 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesR Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I was thinking '46 Plymouth at first, too....but something in my brain is yelling "Studebaker." Something about the roof, but I can't seem to find a Studebaker that matches it. To my eyes, the pillar has no slant, but the Plymouth has some slant in the pillar. 46 or 47 Nash is another possibility, but they have pillar slant, too. Other than that, the roof looks like a Nash.

The Daves may be correct. Something does seem off, though. One thing that IS off is the location of the bumperettes. But Keiser's picture shows there is a bolt hole where the mystery car's ones are. It appears they could go in either place. Possibly they were relocated on the mystery car to make better access to the trunk. The rear window looks right, and If I strain I believe I see the fender's stamped lines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curti Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 My first thought was 41 Plymouth. But, as noted above, the 'B' pillar is straight up and down on the subject car. Bumper guards can be moved around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
