Might be Canadian made due to right hand drive, not sure :think:

:??: there is no RHD-traffic in Canada. Don't you have mixed up Canada with Australia?

But Canada and Australia were both in the British Empire. IIRC (and this is something I learned here), some American manufacturers made RHD models for Australia, etc. in Canada because import tariffs would be lower than for US-made cars.

No, ingo, I don't get this mixed up. I do know that Canadian manufacture makes right hand drive vehicles locally and export. Remember Canada was former British colony and they were using right hand drive vehicles until the twenties. Even though the road was switched to right side, some customer still like to buy vehicles with right hand drive until in the forties/fifties.

On the subject of RHD in Canada:
Quote Until the 1920s, the rule of the road in Canada varied by province, with British Columbia, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island having cars driving on the left, and the other provinces and territories having motorists driving on the right. Starting with inland British Columbia on 15 July 1920 and ending with Prince Edward Island on 1 May 1924, these provinces changed to driving on the right. Newfoundland was not part of Canada until 1949, and its motorists drove on the left until 2 January 1947.

If this is a Canadian film, chris40 is more likely correct. Period is late thirties, and I want it!

That looks like an Australian plate - hopefully one of our Aussies will confirm it. The reason no-one can recognise the body style is that it is a Holden-bodied 1939 Buick - most likely a series 41 Special. The mechanicals may have been sourced fron Flint - I am not sure on that one. Buicks for NZ in this period were sourced from Flint with Flint-built bodies assembled here in NZ.

To sum up - 1939 Buick series 41 Special with body by Holden.

Yes, looks to be a Vic plate

I agree this is an Australian 1939 Buick series 41 Special with body by Holden.Australian build GM models had a rounder and somewhat flatter trunk design. Also the car here still has a 2 piece rear window whereas 1939 US and Canadian McLaughlin Specials already had a one piece rear window
