Sunbar ◊ 2016-09-16 11:47	^Singer Super Ten is accepted by me then! http://www.classiccarcatalogue.com/SINGER%201939.html
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2016-09-16 16:56	!! Or it could be a Super Twelve !! I think they used the same pressings, but can't be certain as I'm working from memory.

This has disc wheels and the full chrome grille, so matches 1947 , 1948 , and this 1949 plate.
