Hello,
As part of an art history research project I am trying to definitively
identify the make, model and year of a car that appeared in a 1952
collage by the artist Eduardo Paolozzi. The car, along with the
collage, is pictured here:http://johnston.rs.googlepages.com/car

I would be very pleased to hear from anyone who can provide any
information at all regarding this.
Thanks in advance.

If you torture the data long enough, eventually it will confess
to anything.

Hudson Hornet? You've got to be kidding me. The Kaiser doesn't even
vaguely resemble the Kaiser.

I meant the Hudson doesn't even vaguely resemble the Kaiser.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Otto Skorzeny"

I think what bothers me about this whole discussion is that I could
have driven car when it was new. (Not legally, of course...)

Didn't this question appear a few weeks ago, and was fully and
comprehensively answered by people who had taken the trouble to do some
