a four wheeled dreamsicle, and just as sweet to look at. i'll have to google the designer(s) of this one; it has clean lines and flows like water. i'd sell my house and live in that car.

What a beauty! Great lines, great details, and I'm a sucker for those chromed vent doors in the hood sides.I'm with John: What an era for automotive design! Unlike nowadays, you could tell cars apart.

Thanks for the nice hours finding this one!

Don't know how exactly, but I got this one :-)

Now I can go to sleep ...

It took some research, that's for sure! Those chromed hood doors I commented about led me to believe it was a 1932-model GM product, since all GM divisions featured doors on the hood sides instead of louvers in 1932. But the grille/shell weren't right for any '32 GM product! But since I was searching 1932 cars, I found a few with similar chromed hood doors, including the REO and this Nash, which showed me the grille I was looking for. Then all I had to find was the right model.

This has to be one of the most beautiful cars ever to have been featured as the "Mystery Car" - Good work, Harry!

I used the 8 on the grill as my search key. Weirdly, nothing showed up on straight-eights, and I found it with a V8 reference.
