Please Identify this Car

[carmel7688]

Could someone please identify this car?

It is from the late 40's (possibly early 50's, but I doubt it).

I know it's not much to go off of, but I'm hoping I can get a model kit of it and make it for my dad.

 

Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

Thank you all.

1940 Dodge sedan....this one has aftermarket turn signals on the bumper.

Wow!  Thank you, keiser31.  I knew I'd have good luck if I came to ask the experts.

MUCH APPRECIATED!

While there is no 1940 Dodge available in plastic, AMT did a 1941 Plymouth. It's the closest you will likely get any time soon. While it has not been issued since the early 1990s, it's not a particularly rare kit, you should be able to find one on eBay or through the large model retailers without much trouble. I missed out on adding a second to my stash at the large model convention in Toledo this past October for $5 because the dealer was busy and I forgot to go back for it, for example.

There IS this 1940 Dodge pickup....odd as Chrysler/Dodge never made that style....https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/solido-france-diecast-1940-dodge-1894408598

I’m sure Keiser has correctly ID’d this car, but when I look at it, my first thought is a 1941 Studebaker Commander.  Something about the trim on the side of the hood....

 

 

edit - not Studebaker at all, Parking light location wrong.  Keiser had it right to begin with - I stand corrected.

That trim is the hood handle.
