That's a Ford Anglia. I think they only made them for a few years right around 1950. It's the big brother to the "flying car" from Harry Potter fame. Drag racers and street rodders like them as a kind of more obscure version of a '40 Ford or Willys of the same vintage.

Cool pic. Seems like there have been a bunch of customs and street rods out being driven during these past few weeks of sunshine we've had.

Looks like what we had as the Ford Popular (or just Ford Pop), over here



This is a '59 Anglia



And this is the later '60s Anglia



Wasn't that model the only car to have an inwards sloping rear window?

Not the only car, i believe the late 50's Lincolns and Mercurys had an inward sloping window, they also had a "turnpike cruiser" option where said window could be raised and lowered.
