Because of the overriders and the shape of the grille, I'd go for a 1948+ 11 B. The white steering wheel only came in 1953, when the bumpers became straight and the wipers were placed under the windscreen.

The crank passage as the specific shape of the 11B 1949 or 50 or the 15 Six 1947 The hub caps on the wheels are as the 15 Six 1948+ The shape of the grill with large chrome borders looks like more as 15 Six than as a 11B Bumpers are as 11B or 15 Six from 1947-52 Indicators lights came on the 15 Six in 1951 , and on the 11 B and BL in 1953 , but bigger than those Well it seems to be a modified model.... of a 11B ..or a 15 Six...of course it can't be a 1953 model.

And indeed the grille seems to be rather far to the front. So we'd make it then a (not really original) 1948 15 Six D.
