John Reddie Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 Can anyone name the car in this photo? I thought possibly a 1937 Nash Lafayette but I cannot find a photo of one from the rear. This car appears to be a 3 window coupe and features a half trunk lid. I checked GM coupes of that era but the gas filler was on the wrong side. Any info is good.

oldodge41 Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 Found this Nash picture but the trunk lid looks longer than in the other picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may have been marketed as part utility / part family. Ford coupe? Edited May 19, 2018 by pflaming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintage6t Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 Checkout mid-30s Terraplanes. I think they are very similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Reddie Posted May 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 Thanks for the responses. I considered Ford as well but the belt line on the Ford is different. The original photo has no line under the rear window. The tail light looks similar to the Nash but I don't see the gas fill in the same spot. I'm afraid that I am stumped right now. Thanks again.

John Reddie Posted May 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 I think I may have found the car. This car is a sedan in the new photo but the tail light and the gas fill seem similar. It is most likely a "36 Nash Lafayette. John R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
