Here's another old classic car. Can you guess what it is?



Extra bonus points if you know the maroon car in the back ground.

 

Wild guess 1955 or some other year Chevy malibu

 

1955 Ford Fairlane ragtop?

Edit: I think the one in the background is a 1954 Oldsmobile Rocket 88

 

You're close on the 1955 Ford, Mike. Just need the correct model.

 

Here's a better view of the car in the back ground.

 

If it's not a Fairlane then it must be a Crown Vic. I thought you were talking about the car sitting directly behind the Ford as the one in the background. That looks like a Hudson Jet...maybe a '54?

 

If Cowboy Duane was online right now, I think he'd already have the Ford. It's a 1955 Ford Sunliner.

The second one is a Hudson. Earlier than '54. And not a Jet.

 

1950 Hudson Commodore 8

 

Correct year Jerry.

1950 Hudson ????

 

1950 Hudson Commodore 8 Sedan



The beautiful, streamlined Hudson for 1950, the only car with the "step-down ride" and Hudson's exclusive "Monobuilt Body-and-Frame," the forerunner of today's Unit-Body construction.

This was a big, roomy, low center of gravity road machine, and one of the most elegant cars of its day. Remember the movie, "Driving Miss Daisy?" Morgan Freeman chauffeured Miss Daisy in her 1950 Hudson Commodore 8, just like this one.

The Commodore 8 was the forerunner of the Hudson Hornet, which dominated the Nascar races from 1951 to 1954. In 1955, Hudson and Nash Merged to form AMC, now part of Daimler Chrysler.
