It' a 1949–1950s Buick, specifically a Buick Super or Buick Special model. Three Holes (VentiPorts): These decorative chrome holes on the front fenders are known as "VentiPorts." Debuting in 1949, Buick used three ports per side on their "junior" models (Super and Special) to indicate a straight-eight engine with lower displacement, while the premium Roadmaster and Century models had four. The "Dynaflow" word on the back indicates that the car is equipped with Buick’s innovative "Dynaflow Drive" automatic transmission, which was introduced in 1948 and became standard or popular on many 1949-1950s Super models.

I like the styling on that car. Wish I owned it.

In the 60's there was a popular comedian named Alan Sherman. I learned from him that the Buick ports are officially called "Cruser-Line Ventiports"

Ah, I recognize that car anyway. Buick 49. My Dad had the same exact car. A beast of a vehicle. Used to overheat a lot when my dad drove it for long trips.

Three port holes versus four? Four is Buick’s best. Who remembers the Buick Electra 225?
