Can anyone ID the car? There appers to be a running board; note the spare tire on the front fender, fully enclosed, and the rumble seat. The car is also a ragtop. And, check out the headlights.

Details that might not show in this reduced photo are the letters on the hubcaps (a short word--Ford? Buick? Dodge?) but there's lettering on the hubcap for the spare tire also, and it appears to be a much longer word (Chevrolet? Pontiac?).

Anybody have a clue? It looks to be pretty sporty--and not cheap.

Besides the wheelbase lengths, were there any other significant differences between the 40 series and the 60 series?

BTW - here's a goregous '38 66C I meant to also post with the earlier links

What a great looking car!

Unfortunately, that's the extent of my knowledge on those older models.

I'm leaning towards that answer too.

Something I noticed in some of the photos of the 40 series versus the 60 series, and it's hard to say for certain, since all of them are taken at sight angles and it could be an optical illusion, but it looks like on the 60 series, the trailing end of the front wheelwell/fenders are longer and the spare tires are slightly further back, judging by the number of vent sections visible on the side of the engine compartment, it looks like there might be about and extra 8" to 12" up there.

I remember when things were more easily defined--Corvette got 6 taillights...or 4 taillights?
