Hi, All

I was hoping someone could help me out. The car in the photo (that I hope you can see) was involved in an accident in the '40s in the USA. The driver was my girlfriend's great aunt and my girlfriend's keen to know what the car is.

I know very little about it and I can't identify it. Can anyone help?

You should send that to www.prewarcar.com and ask them to put it up one day.

I know the model you're thinking of, but I don't think they have split windscreens?

I'm sure that it is indeed a 2 door 1936 Chevrolet as in the ebay ad (although that has 4 doors), even the wheels are the same. Also if you look at the drivers side split window you'll notice a length of chrome/metal on the upper part of the window on the ebay ad pic thats matches the crash pic .

Certainly looks like it except that one doesn't have the split screen.
