    Nope, sorry. It's mildly customized (I think, been a while since I was into hotrods) so the chrome trim is likely not stock. Back then most companies pretty much had a single design per year, with only trim options dividing the models

    Which would you rather have? The Mercury or the Noble parked behind it.
    And what is with the guy on the far left of the picture? The one with the white wife beater and sunglasses on his head. He looks funny.

    There's not much left of the original shape to give a solid answer (unless someone happens to know that particular car). Best guess, based on the style of grill and wheels, is that it's based on a late 40s Cadillac -- but it could as easily be a late 40's Chevy :shrug:

    The original picture is actually a 1950 Ford convertible with a Pontiac grille.
