I agree, Chris.  The only Singer I knew made sewing machines. But, if you know the name, there are quite a few photos to be found on the internet.  And a few nice ones for sale.

Thanks, Mike.  That seems to be the consensus of those who know these
cars.  Douglas Barry, an Irish member of the Leica Users Group, says the
same thing, though he wasn't sure of the year it was made.  It appears
that the owner added a few bells and whistles to the original car.  I am
surprised, though, that all this was done, and it made its way to the
USA, by the summer of 1952, when I snapped the photo.


I don't know if anyone answered this yet.

I asked my car-mad brother-in-law. He asked another expert who
suggested that it's a 1952 Singer Nine 4AB Roadster. If you look for
images of the Singer, it certainly seems to match.
