1940s Buick fastback? What do you experts think?
From an old photo Facebook group. 1940s Copenhagen. Did they import Buicks pre-war? Or maybe this is immediately post-war?

My guess would be ‘50 or ‘51.

A '50, imo. This is a sedan. I don't believe Buick made a Jetback 4-door for '51, only a coupe.

I stand corrected! Good call Al.
