Stunning lady outdoing mystery car...

Who said a picture is worth only a thousand words?

Well, this picture seems to inspire quite a discussion...

As for the car, I think Francisco's suggestions is particularly worth considering, since the 1929 Pontiac featured exactly that distinctive waistline which is grooved inwards (I couldn't find a better term).

I also liked David's remark on the lens that was probably used when taking this beautiful picture.

Once again, I am amazed by the breadth and depth of knowledge of the prewar-car enthusiasts from all over the world contributing to this unique website.

Finally, let's hope Hugh is right and we'll be able to enjoy the looks of ladies wearing tight long dresses, one day, if the tide turns towards more elegant fashion, again...

Don't know about the car, but the girl !
Some 35mmlenses of the day, Leitz included, tended to accentuate the suntan on skin, without filter. It was one of the reasons why later lenses were 'bloomed' and all current ones tinted.
Vivacious lady all the same.Good composition.

It is a 1929 Pontiac, with optional plate wheels.

Fashions have a habit of returning, Michael- but let us hope our cars remain in fashion!

Looks like a Opel to me.

Lovely lady. The car does look american with those wheels, but I don't recognise the "valley" in the bodywork right above the doors. That does not look like a american "styling"

Looks like a 1929 Chevrolet AC International 2 door sedan to me. Most had black painted headlamp shells. Very popular here in Australia. Why buy a 4 cylinder Ford Model A when you could have a "six" for the same money?
