Looks like a '46-'48 Ford convertible. Could be a Merc, people switch the grilles around.

Re: What is that car on this photo, pls?
Are you sure the pics were of early postwar Fords? A '40 or a '49 do look quite a bit different from the beige car.
There are '48 Ford fiberglass bodies that bolt onto an '80's Cutlass chassis. Many use these to build street rods. Some of the lines are a bit "swoopier", but they are unmistakably '48 Ford styling. See if there's a Flathead or Early Ford V8 club near you. Any member could look at your picture and tell you the exact year. |

My vote is for '46 to '48 Ford or Merc. It looks like the black convertible used in the "Back to the Future" trilogy.

Another movie to check out would be "Grease". Kinickie's beater white convertible is an early postwar Ford as we've been discussing, and it's the spittin' image of the beige car.
It gets a George Barris make-over into "Greased Lightning" for the race against the later-model Mercury. |
