What is this car ?
 
Hey everyone, I have been helping my G/F ( Tonda ) put together some old family
photos and we came across this really cool one of her Dad ( Norris ) with his car.
Can anyone tell me what the make and model of this car is ? It looks like a 40 -42
Ford Business Coupe ? Don't know........
Any suggestions ?
Thanks.

I have no clue! Pretty cool when you dig up super old pics like that.

im stumped, but i would guess that the car is from about 1935-1939 ish, in about 1940 most carmakers started moulding the headlights into the fenders for a cleaner look ( like the buick and pontiac space posted). im stumped on the make, i did quickie google image searches on whatever i could think of, imma say its gotta be something weird, thats for sure :) i was thinking mabe an oldsmobile or a desoto? but idk...

Do a search for Lasalle automobile. They made cars and are now worth quite a bit if you own one.

PS. my mother looked at the photo and agrees. It looks like a Lasalle or Cord to her.
