I realize that this is out of tune with this page but I need a little assistance. Can anyone identify the automobile in the picture? Make, Model or year? I am asking for a friend that is doing a research project at a California Museum.

That's a 1947 Chrysler Windsor Club Coupe.

I owned a 1947 Business Coupe that had a trunk large enough to set up housekeeping.

@Lincoln55 -- Yeah. The car in the background is a 1952 Ford with mounted sun visor. The telltale here is the parking light with its three pronged star. I wouldn't want to guess at the model.

Edit: The model is the Customline. At fist I thought it might be the Victoria, but I shuffled through some pics and I'm reasonably sure of the ID.

@Lincoln55 -- Yep, that nailed it. Crestline Victoria for sure and certain.

@Lincoln55 i know squat about cars but i asked my fb friends and got an immediate response, not an "i think" but a definite "desoto." i can't see the badge in this picture. i can tell you definitively NOT 1960s or later! but you knew that lol. it does have a '40s look.

@Lincoln55 i'll tell my friend who was so sure it was a desoto lol

It is a 1947 Chrysler New Yorker 2-door Sedan without a doubt, however it is missing part of the hood ornament, they were notorious for rusting off, and the owner has added a bull bar to the front.
I thought at first it was a Royal, but the square indicators are a give away on the Royal they were round.
