mike6024 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) The photo has been labeled "1940's" and I don't think that matches car in picture. Edited April 20, 2021 by mike6024 higher resolution photo (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 That's a 1951 Buick by the parking meter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Looks like a seedy part of town so it's a safe bet the Buick isn't new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 55er Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Identifying the Buick was the easy part. What kind of car is parked behind it next to the pole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike6024 Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 Chrome along the lower edge. Maybe a Dodge. Dodge would have that chrome along the rocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, kinda does look like a 1946-48 Dodge....this one is missing the rocker trim. Edited April 19, 2021 by keiser31 (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike6024 Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 Oh yeah, you picked up on that small tip of chrome strip peeking out from behind the pole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 It could well be a 46-48 Dodge but the shape of that shiny front bumper is a bit concerning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagefinds Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 That must be a late 30's Pontiac Silver Streak further down on the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 With the picture blowup the vertical bumper guard is now visible, I think it's a 1946-1948 Chrysler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike6024 Posted April 20, 2021 Author Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) Yes If you compare the pic with a 1947 Chrysler, several things are consistent, such as the profile of the front bumper.
