The 55er Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 It's a Chevy with that short hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 (edited) EDIT: Oops, never mind. When I originally responded to this somehow I missed The 55er's first post. I'm pretty sure he had it right from the beginning. Edited September 20 by Bloo (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curti Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 The hood ornament looks to be Pontiac. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 I agree with Curti...... hood ornament looks like a Pontiac, body style is '49 - 54 but what can be seen of the headlight and grill end I believe it is a '49 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was/am too chicken to say it, though. LOL Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 I was thinking 53 Pontiac Pathfinder, but after looking and re-looking, I think The 55er has it. The end of the grille sure could be 49 Chev. I think the little reflection on the headlight ring is the tip of the Chevy chrome. On the other hand, if that is a kink in the headlight rim, we are back to 53, and more likely Pontiac Pathfinder than Chevrolet, though 53 Chevrolet is a possibility. The end of the Grille looks more like Chev to me, but the hood ornament looks more like Pathfinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 The photo was from eBay and the listing for it said the store was in Santa Monica CA. It’s unlikely the car is a Canadian Pontiac but you never know… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 (edited) The Grille points to Chevy and the hood ornament points to Canadian Pontiac. Here's what I had posted before I changed my mind. Check out that Pathfinder hoof ornament. Quote 1953 Chevrolet. Or, maybe a 53 Pontiac Pathhfinder. The grille wraparound favors Chevrolet, but the hood ornament looks Pontiac. There were at least 2 Chevrolet hood ornaments, and it definitely isn't the fancier one that looks like a bird or plane or whatever. There was a simpler one though that looks more like a zeppelin.

Bloo Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 That's a bigger car (look at the bumper) but a lot of the details are sure right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
