dsl ◊ 2011-02-05 00:06	OK if US, how about the 1936 Graham-Paige Crusader (2.8 litre) which was the basis of the 70?? I've only got 1 picture, side-on in a book which is the Nissan and it's identical - doors, window shapes and proportions, bonnet outline. I'll try and find something online. Edit - try Link to "en.wikipedia.org" , but maybe the 1935 grille is better - Link to "www.motorsnaps.com" . -- Last edit: 2011-02-05 00:11:04

Commander 57 ◊ 2011-02-05 00:19	Definitely looks Packard to me. '36 to '37 range, I would say. -- Last edit: 2011-02-05 00:20:13

(Ironically not by a Japanese bomb, but one of several U.S. Navy antiaircraft shells that landed in Honolulu during the attack.)
