A friend of mine asked if I could help identify the car in this photo. She believes the picture was taken in 1959 or 1960. The picture was taken at a Jaycees event in Euclid Ohio. Any guesses ? Thanks to all for a great post !

Here is a great article on Leon Wagner. http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/article/daddy-wags/
