This early photo was taken about April 1957

I guess our car was about 5 years old, maybe older.

Thats all I know.

Any suggestions what it could be?

Agreed; my grandparents had one when I was a kid. Definitely a Standard.

The radiator grille looks too wide for an 8. The badge at the bottom suggests a 10.

Thanks all for the help.

I have cut & cropped a copy.

Is this any better for identification?

Cobbled streets. We still had those in the 1980's when I was driving around "oop north". Amazingly slippery when ice or snow on them. Those were the days.

Nice picture, are you the nipper?
