from his comment on the photo “This has to be about 1965. I managed to write off that car while learning to drive.”

This was in Australia, can anyone identify the car? I need it for a very important photoshop :D

Ford F350 SuperDuty.

Wow. Your dad’s first car was a Lambo? Sweet!

Think you’re correct.

Was thinking Alvis, but couldn’t find a match.

I think I’m going to waste my day trying to figure this out. Got it down to roughly 1930s era.

I’d also thought possibly Alvis, but after neither Alvis nor Armstrong-Siddeley turned up good matches I stumbled on the Jag.

It’s a Jag. Not 1930s, oddly enough.

that’s looking pretty on the mark! I’m pretty

I guess even a simple farmer can afford a 30 year old Jag

Yeah I just noticed that. Damn luxury cars keeping old style grills.

I just posted the same thing. Didn’t see the reply hidden in pending. Same conclusion I came to after combing grills for the last 45 min.

Particularly when it was the poverty Jag, and not the XK-120.

I’m 20 min late with this answer. So close, hope your photo shop goes well.
