Vauxhall automobile built in the 1930s.
Another old photo found in a discarded album, this particular black and white snap dates to the 1950s and shows a couple with their Vauxhall. I think it is a pre-war Vauxhall 10, judging by the lack of rear quarter windows, and distinctive Vauxhall chrome bonnet flutes.
Other olde worlde car photos can be found on the main early car photos section on oldclassiccar.
The 10hp model was produced between 1937-1940, and I'm fairly sure that the four-light saloon shown here is a 10 model. Despite being 10-15 years old when this photograph was taken, it still looks to be in decent condition. Its had a minor nerf to the rear roof corner, near the lady's elbow, but otherwise looks pretty good. Rear seat access looks a little tight judging by this photo. Lack of leaves on the LH tree, a woolly hat, and some dainty gloves, suggest this pic was probably taken in the Autumn or Winter time.
