    The snapshot was taken in 1957 in the UK. It is cropped, and the best I can manage from the old print. I think it is an American convertible. Cheers! jo2.jpg

    Oh-oh. Someone who knows immediately just corrected me -- it is a British car, a Hillman Minx from the early Fifties. hm54.jpg

  6. The Hillman Husky station wagon looked better than the sedan.

    Cool car but very hard to find parts for.
