The car in the middle is a Pontiac. Could be the same that the one seen in another picture. -- Last edit: 2006-12-01 09:29:34

Only DeSotos had this trim going from the front light to the door, like on this one. Beside, on a Dodges, it will be slightly higher on the wing, when you can see here that it's very near the wheel. DeSoto, for sure. Here is a 1948 DeSoto http://www.carnut.com/cgi-bin/_image.pl?/show/ark98/ark029.jpg Here is a 1947 Dodge http://www.hubcapcafe.com/ocs/pages01/dodg4702.htm -- Last edit: 2006-12-01 17:09:06
pilou 2006-12-08 15:01	Yes ,I rechecked on enlarged picture and you are right .DeSoto S-11 Club Coupe 1946-8 , with those plain hubcaps I would say a DeLuxe rather than a Custom.
