    At first glance I thought 34-35 Buick but after seeing the sloping beltline and the way the rear door fits into the roof I'm fairly sure its not. I had a 35 Buick 40 Series and best I remember those 2 areas were totally different on it.

    Good Luck! Sure someone on here can help.

    Thanks. The HAMB always knows. The car was my father in laws when he went into WWII. I'm sure the car went to the crusher years ago like so many others. Thanks again.

    Wow! $1529.00. You could have bought 3 Chevys for that back then. They must have been well off:)
    That's cool!
