A friend of mine sent me the following photos and wanted me to help him identify the car.

I haven't really been able to find out much so I thought I would start posting in forums so I could hopefully find out what year it is.

Edit:Sorry about the double post, and I guess I didn't link the photos correctly.

If the grille is correct it is a 1950. The body is the 1949-50 model with the thick A pillar and the low front fender line (both as compared to the 1951-52 models). It also has the 1950 Custom trim on the door just below the vent window.

Paint code 335 was Cadet Grey in 1950, a dark grey.
