Photo

The photo was taken in 1957. I'm thinking it may be a Packard, Hudson or some other obsolete brand.

Thanks!

Do you think it might be a Tucker?

I'd say 49 Hudson is a possibility, but that front wheel well cover really throws me based on the other images I'm seeing.

My first thought was Saab but I couldn't find anything similar in late 40s to early 50s. The door handles are strange too. They are lever type and are in/on the upper section of the door (the darker gray in this pic), soft of between the window and the door panel.

I missed the door handles before. Very interesting. So check out this 1950 Nash:

DING! DING! DING!

The door handles are in another photo. They are behind my family in this one.


Thanks to all for their help and especially Torch!

When I saw it, I first thought Nash. My father had one before he bought the Studebaker.

Yep, I thought it was a 1952 Nash Rambler too.

Damn Torch. You probably cleaned up in Trivial Pursuit.

I wanted to see if I could blow it up to read the name down their near the front quarter panel but couldn't seem to make it clear enough to read.

Everybody else already got it. It's almost certainly a Nash, the wheel well design and door handle design are big indicators.
