What year and model?

[57 Silver Hawk]

Hi everyone,
I came across this attached photo below of my grandfather and his car. It looks like Studebaker. If so, can it tell what year and model is it??? His last car was 1957 Silver Hawk I inherited it from him.




Thank you for any help in advance!

I cannot tell you exactly what it is but I can tell you it is definitely not a Studebaker.

On further review I am guessing 1930 DeSoto.

Hi Steven
It's a 1929 Buick Model 121. Note the lack of belt molding and the puffiness at that area of the body, the reason those were known as the "pregnant Buick". The crest style they used is visible on the hubcap, as well as the upper window curve, visor, cowl light and vent door placement.

Hi Steven
I forgot about the '29 Buick Model 116 which it could also be The difference is a 116" wb and 239 cu. in. six versus 121" wb and 309 cu. in. six.

Steve: You don't have to leave an error in place after you hit "POST," or if you want to add additional information. Just hit the little pencil and paper icon in the tool bar above your post and it will allow you to edit the post, rather than have to create a second post. You can remove/add/change information that way time and time again and still have only one post to a given thread. BP

Hi Bob
Thanks for the heads-up, I never figured out what that little image was. Does make sense to have that feature, I'll have to try it out.
