Not sure why I can't make the pics bigger. Anyway, another hint below.

No...……... but I suspect that would have been an influence on the finished design.
I did say it will remind you of a bunch of different cars.

But this is a fun way to get to know some.
OK, so this one is a 1956 FJ Holden (GM). It probably looks so familiar, because much of the panel work came from existing USA cars. This was the second mass produced car in Australia, by Australians. Given that in 1956 the whole country had a population of less than 9.5 million, it was quite an achievement to develop a car manufacturing capability. Was pretty basic though, no turn signals, tail light had to be turned on manually by a switch at the light and air conditioning was a window crank.

I agree the 1930's seems about right but I'm thinking a larger, more luxurious brand than Chevy. Initially I was thinking Packard but they were not a part of GM.
Spot on
