What model/year car is this?
Hi, I am a new member and need help identifying a car in the attached photo. My dad said it had an olds engine and a caddy tranny.
Thanks,

Not sure, but judging by the spray-can lettering on the side of the car, perhaps one of the regular contributors can supply hints as to the make and model....PLANET EARTH, INSANE ASYLUM FOR THE UNIVERSE.

Looks a lot like a channeled '32 Ford 5 window coupe that's been chopped roughly 3 inches. The engine isn't a Olds, it's a Flathead Ford, based on the water hoses a '37 to '48 vintage engine.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

I'll agree it is a '32 ford, with Ford flathead V8.
It's blurry, and there was an Olds with 3 two barrels and similar exhaust, but the smaller size and radiator hoses coming out at the top of the heads identify the engine.
Very impressed with the trim especially because Stainless is a PITA. Thanks for your post.
