The grille of the 1950 wraps around the corner and in beneath the sidetrim, it´s likely to have made reflections even from the weak light on this picture. 1949 http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/main.php?g2_itemId=53582 1950 Link to "www.eyeson.org" -- Last edit: 2010-07-13 11:32:09
Commander 57 ◊ 2010-07-13 15:31	Upon further review, I believe you are right, DAF. I based my ID on the fact the '49 has 2 heavy horizontal bars bisecting the grille which is peaked in the middle. The photo'ed car appeared to have a straight across grille with one heavy horizontal bar across is as the '50's did. One of the thumbnails does clearly show the non-wrapped feature you mentioned, however. As such, leaving as '49.
