1957 Oldsmobile. It looks kind of small...maybe an 88? -- Last edit: 2009-04-23 09:44:53 |

I can't say what it is but it is NOT a 1957 Olds. All 1957 Oldsmobiles had a 3 piece rear window. This might be a mild custom of something else but it is too hard to custom out a 3 piece rear window. I am leaning toward a 1952-54 Ford like this - http://images21.fotki.com/v841/photos/4/41647/998498/P6180041-vi.jpg -- Last edit: 2009-04-23 17:11:28 |

I think it might be a 1953 or 1954 Hudson Super Jet... Comments? |

After checking Olds., Fords and Hudson I go as Skid said for a '57 Oldsmobile. Paying attention to the chromed under the taillights we can see some (looking like) "louvres" and I have not found any Ford or Hudson with this trim but yes in '57 Olds. Looks a 2 door sedan (pillared) and not too long, so i would go for a 1957 Rocket 88 or a Super 88 |

Still no 3 piece rear window, license plate above bumper and not in it, no lying L trim on side. It would seem easier to add chrome panels below tail lights of a 1952-54 Ford. Olds lights are oval, ford lights are circular. I really think it is a 1952-54 Ford with Olds-Like trim panels. |

I agree. My guess is a '52 Customline Club Coupe. |
