Samual Heron Identification of vehicle required

[petbro]

Hi All

Can anyone help identify the vehicle for me in this picture? The picture's origin Wisconsin, USA. Probably late 30's to early 40's.

I can't help with the car, but the registration plate is dated 1941, so the picture could not have been taken before that year.
Maybe google and look for an antique car site, or 1930s-1940s car site to narrow it down.

Thank you so much, sir.

Now that I think of it, the picture was probably taken about 1941, whenever the 1941 registration plate was valid. The state I grew up in issued new plates every year, not just stickers. You had to have a current plate on the car to drive it on the public streets.

(Unless he never used the car and just kept it parked along side the house.)

That also means the car is probably not older than a 1941 or 1942 model.

It looks like a Wisconsin 1941 plate - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_registration_plates_of_Wisconsin

Some UK local authorities have historic records of vehicle registrations - might the same be true there?
