What is your guess? It belongs to a person down here ... The pin-stiping is amazing!

Kinda tough to tell the year since they are so similar- 1946 or 47 Olds
Still looking for that Union 76 ball And I collect big old porcelain neon signs

1942 I'm not sure about the grill but 1942 was the only year they had the 1/2 front fender down the door. 46 and on the body line of the front fender went clear back to the rear fender. Mitch

I have owned a 1942 Olds for over 30 years, they look nothing like the one in this photo.

42 without a doubt! Nicely done I may add! Just how it was meant to be!

I apologize it's been 60 years since I worked in the wrecking yard. I based my opinion on the 42 Buick that I made my first trip in 1949 to Illinois in. Got to thinking about it after I went to bed and thought I might be wrong. Mitch

Thanks Scott!
The fella that owns this BEAUTY drove in to see my friend while I was taking pictures of the RARE Buick sign. Had a chance to look at it briefly.
I believe my friend said it is a 1948 hard-to-find fastback.
I will have to check with him again.
