I question whether it is Levittown also I lived in the area and worked there also. Levittown was built with 2 types of homes on slabs, the ranch which was predominent and a expandable cape. Those homes are all capes. Levittown maybe but I doubt it.

One of my late sister's boyfriends, Gill Stebbins, Blue '50 Ford, white walls, lake pipes and spinners.... this was in about '59 or '60......

 

I think I got it : It's a Gotfredson. Puzzled a good 20 mins over the features/grille ID. Not a lot of good pics online, brand was around 1920-1951, notable styling feature in this era was the bare cast-aluminum radiator.

From post #88987 :


According to the IMCDB, this is a 1928 :

Convertible Weather

I will never complain about getting into a cold car again.

 

More convertible weather.....

The schooners Hesper and Luther Little rotting away in Wiscasset Maine. They had been left to rot since the thirties. I remember seeing them in the late seventies, about when this pic was taken.

Two of those images are from Wascana Lake in my hometown. ( The city's first college in the background.)

That's so funny, I think your right....lol I never really looked close at the dash. She had this pic in her stash and I just remember him and his '50 because it made such an impression on me.... thanks

 

The VW must have been his daily driver.
