Going through old family photo's I love finding these with the old cars . I have no clue what kind or year . It looks the the end of 30's early 40's . Family not alive to ask them . I am always glad I never threw out any photo's some are fun to just look at and wonder what life was like then .
If you know what kind of car and year drop a message :-) I know someone will know

pw-collector yes it does look a lot like the 1935 olds coupe !!!! It looks like maybe the grill is missing on this one . Apparently not many of these cars were made under 2000 of each 35 olds made . I love the style of this car . Thank you for helping on identifying it !
LOL Blunder sure it is a Rolls and a Bently . It has wheels and it is bent up a bit . The older model cars all had such distinct looks compared to today's cars that all seem to look a like to me . Thank you for the love !
If you look very carefully at the car in the link provided, you will see they are not the same car. Please note the way the doors open, location of hinges, door handles, etc.
The 1935 Olds coupe had "suicide doors", hinges to the rear, the above car has standard opening doors, hinges to the front.
Thank you packrat :-) Yes I see that now . I guess I have never seen a car like this one before ,any idea's ?
I love old cars, and know some about them, but, I am not a diehard "car guy." That is my round-a-bout way of saying "I don't know."
There are several " vintage car aficionados" on here that will know.
Great pic!!!!!
I believe 1937 Chevy Coupe
Thanks Kerry ! I want it to restore wish it was still in family . It would make a awesome blinged out car :-)
Thank you bratjdd and Phil !
