    Again an enquiry from the UK: this car was raced on short ovals and took a bettering. Any bguesses as to make / model /year. I've had "Pontiac" suggested. Three jpgs attached. Thanks (as ever) for HAMB's kind help.

    49-51 Ford... I can't distinguish exact year from tail lights.... Someone else probably can.

    First two 49-51 ford for sure.
    I'm not sure about the third one. It's got a different paint job and back window. Someone here will be able to ID it I'm sure.

    Should be a 50 Ford. Not a 49 trunk lid that had a T handle trunk opener. 51 had a different piece above the license plate.

  6. '49-50; you can tell from the clock bulge on the dash. The third one isn't a Ford...

    Thank you guys. I love the fine detail. Much appreciated --- now, if we could pin down that third photo even though it's a poor print?

    All the same car - the backlite has been trimmed with a torch in the last shot. Check the rear wheels - same in all 3 shots.

  9. Nope, not the same car; the clock bulge on the dash is gone....
     
  10. I see the dash bulge through the steering wheel and the 50 ford clock bulge...same car in all photos IMHO

  11. Poor thing has been beat to death. It probably doesn't remember what it is. But looks like a shoebox to me, all three pics.
