Commander 57 ◊ 2015-01-22 14:25	Good guess. It has the correct lines. Certainly no later than 1957 owing to the arched roof. (In '58, it was flatter.) Could also possibly be a mid-'55 Ultra Vista model with the new wrap-around windshield. Certain models can be ruled out, such as '55 Presidents (no vent windows or windshield visor) and Scotsmans (car has ss windshield trim). (The '56 and '57 President short wheelbase models also did not have rear door vent windows, so we can't take them out of the possible mix.) Front fender side chrome should be visible but was apparently removed. Can a better view be obtained? -- Last edit: 2015-01-22 14:26:16
