Michael Geschlecht Posted April 23, 2022 Share #17342 Posted April 23, 2022 Hello hektor, Could the name of this car begin with a "D"? Best Regards, Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hektor Posted April 23, 2022 Share #17343 Posted April 23, 2022 Dear Michael, Rona!d "named" it last Tuesday. It is a Holden Special. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_Special made between 1953 and 1956. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Geschlecht Posted April 23, 2022 Share #17344 Posted April 23, 2022 Hello hektor, That is interesting. The front sort of looks like a Desoto. Best Regards, Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adan Posted April 23, 2022 Share #17345 Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) No worries, mate.... Looks like a 1954 Holden FJ Saloon - But yes it does bear a little resemblance to some early 1950s Chrysler products - key distinguishing features are the extra "grille" in the bonnet nose, and the black protective strip on the rear fender. Hey, c'mon hektor - don't close down the game after ONE answer...... Sorry - just bad luck the "solution" picture appeared all by itself at the top of a page.

wlaidlaw Posted April 23, 2022 Share #17346 Posted April 23, 2022 It has the sort of styling my father used to describe as a pregnant whale playing a chrome plated mouth organ. Wilson 2 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NigelG Posted April 24, 2022 Share #17349 Posted April 24, 2022 (edited) I’m thinking either Buick or Dodge. Not necessarily enough of an officionado of either but I have posted just dashboards before...😀 Edited April 24, 2022 by NigelG Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adan Posted April 25, 2022 Share #17350 Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) Buick is close, but I call it as a 1963 Cadillac - with A/C. Those roundels left and right of the speedometer bezel should be the headlights control and the clock, and are "signature" to a Caddy dash of that vintage. The little gunsight on the top center of the dash should be the Guide-Matic automatic headlight dimmer. Not sure as to the exact model (yet) - similar layouts were used for de Ville, Eldorado, Fleetwood, etc. Edited April 25, 2022 by adan Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted April 25, 2022 Share #17351 Posted April 25, 2022 No Buick or Dodge but indeed a 63 Cadillac. Now let´s finish the rest, adan. Welcome, dear visitor!

stuny Posted April 25, 2022 Share #17352 Posted April 25, 2022 '63 Coupe Deville - Andy is spot on. Interestingly, the Olds 98 had a nearly identical dash and pedals. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adan Posted April 25, 2022 Share #17353 Posted April 25, 2022 4 hours ago, stuny said: Interestingly, the Olds 98 had a nearly identical dash and pedals. True - I was "clued in" to the Caddy because the family had a 1963 Chevy Impala wagon (bought used in 1965), and it used the same A/C vents. Since dashboards seem to work, here's another.

stuny Posted April 25, 2022 Share #17354 Posted April 25, 2022 I'm noT sure why I think that, but a lower end Dodge Dart comes to mind. Regarding the steering wheel - yikes! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adan Posted April 25, 2022 Share #17355 Posted April 25, 2022 Not a Dodge Dart. And there is a clue regarding the steering wheel, even though not original. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted April 25, 2022 Share #17356 Posted April 25, 2022 The wood looks a bit like that on a ghastly Lincoln Town car that Avis supplied, when I had tyre problems (lack of tread) on the rather nice Infiniti G37 coupé I had hired. Avis would not allow me to have two new back tyres fitted, so instead sent the replacement up on a trailer, a 10 hour round trip for their towing contractor to go from Albany, NY to northern New Hampshire where we were staying. Seemed very odd economics to me. Wilson 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted April 25, 2022 Share #17358 Posted April 25, 2022 May we start with Dodge since the top of the wheel seems to be a ram? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
