    Wow. You are able to identify the car. The plate says 1939 though

    This is my great grandfather with his apos (in white with cane) My dad is not in the photo I was amazed when I saw the photo because the car looks huge. Hood is almost on my lolo's shoulder. Though my great grandfather was short daw haha. Can you identify?

    Toothy grille could be a Buick.

    1947 or 1948 Buick.

    With a straight-eight engine (eight cylinders in a straight line). Awesome!.
