Title: Vintage Car Photo - What is the Car?
Post by: Sherlock77 on Wednesday 18 February 15 13:01 GMT (UK)
Another sampler from my found collection, not sure how many car experts we have around here, give it a try, I'd love to know what kind of car this is, I have no idea...  No notes came with this one...

I think you might be referring to the Packard above the Willys Knight, perhaps, except the head lights are different, but that isn't a big issue for cars of this age...  Admittedly it's hard to ID cars from this era, especially when all there is a side view...
