Spotted this car, on a low loader, not far from home. At first I thought it was a Morris Traveller, which I remember from the 1960s, when I was a youngster.
In the few minutes it took me to get home, I decided that this car was bigger than a Traveller and I was pretty sure the steering wheel was on the left side.
After an internet search I decided that it was actually a Pontiac Chieftain, made between 1949 and 1958. Although a long way from home, it is an excellent looking condition, right down to the white wall tyres. Very 1950s!
It had continued on its journey by the afternoon, so no chance to get more photos.
I am thinking it is a classic car, pretty sure it isn’t old enough to be a vintage.
