This is my Dad, standing with his first car. Pic was from 1961 but not sure the year of car. I figure somebody here would have an idea what make and model it might be? Its got some pretty distinct trim there on the front fender.

You think thats a bad idea?

I'm amazed how many bugs are running around with a similar setup. Mine was when I bought it...

Looks more like it's a '54 Pontiac Pathfinder, not a Chieftain. Note the fender line over the tail light. It doesn't have the hump like the Chieftain does.
Google '54 Pontiac pictures and you'll see it better.
