Old Photo - Unknown Car 2
My grandmother stood by one of my fathers cars, possibly a Wolsey.

Yes, Andrew, it's definitely a Wolseley. Aside from having their
characteristic radiator grille shape and dipped front bumper Wolseleys also had a grille badge that lit up at night. You can see it in your picture. Now, what model was it? It looks like it's the Series III 12/48 that was built from 1937 through 1939.

Wolseleys of the 1930s are very hard to tell apart but I suspect this one is
more likely to be a 14/60 than a 12/48 as the headlights are slightly lower. Malcolm > Yes, Andrew, it's definitely a Wolseley.

Thank you Max and Malcolm, I'm not sure when this car came to my father but
mum remembers that it didn't do too many miles per gallon. -- Andrew "Malcolm" > wrote in message ... > Wolseleys of the 1930s are very hard to tell apart but I suspect this one > is more likely to be a 14/60 than a 12/48 as the headlights are slightly > lower. > > Malcolm > >> Yes, Andrew, it's definitely a Wolseley.

Yes, that was another possibility, Malcolm. I'm definitely not an expert in
Wolseleys so I wouldn't argue about a better identification, that's for sure. max "Malcolm" > wrote in message ... > Wolseleys of the 1930s are very hard to tell apart but I suspect this one > is more likely to be a 14/60 than a 12/48 as the headlights are slightly > lower. > > Malcolm > >> Yes, Andrew, it's definitely a Wolseley.
