The dashboard is definitely that of a ’40 Buick, and the sideview shots are clear enough to make a distinctive feature visible: note the ventipane in the rear quarter window, unique to the Limited limos of that year’s Buick range. http://www.remarkablecars.com/main/buick/1940-buick-002.html -- Last edit: 2012-01-11 00:16:59
