Help identify an auto?

August 7, 2009 9:41 PM

A friend's recent blog post featured a picture of her father standing next to the ol' family car. She can identify the dad, but not the car. I'd love some help. Here's a link to the picture. Thank you!

It's help if we knew the age of the photo, or at least the decade.

Perhaps it's a split window VW?

Sorry. Photo was taken in 1950. She just sent me a clearer view of the back of the car. Hope they watch out for that baby in the driveway!

That's not how 'best answer' usually works.
