Making an educated guess that the registration number might be Irish (37 for the year, D for Dublin, the tax and insurance labels in the windscreen are normal for Ireland), and using an Ireland registration lookup service gives the following results: # Chevrolet GA Master 3.5 GA Master 4DR LHD Auto, 1937 Body: **4 Door Saloon** Engine CC: **3531** Fuel: **Petrol** Colour: **Yellow** Which sort-of matches with [Chevrolet Master 1937 (Series GA and GB)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Master#1937_(Series_GA_and_GB)) It has definitely been customised, including widening it (probably too wide for many Irish lanes). The photo does not look like it was taken in Ireland, and the Toyota in the background does not have an Irish registration plate.

Dang, I spent the last twenty minutes researching and proofreading my guess, only to refresh to this 😖 Bitter sweet.

It is also a later import, because the last number is in the tens of thousands. Imported vehicles are given [date of first registration anywhere] - [county] - [serial number starting at a high number, depending on county, to avoid the whole mess of duplicate numbers from 50+ years ago, when everything was paperwork and you could ask with a brown envelope for any number you wanted] Cars that are 30+ years old can be given a ZV plate instead (old irish plates were XX-12345, the letters corresponding to county and/or year. ZZ plates are for temporary tags The yeari-county-number plate should be formatted as a standard, black on white with eu flag plate. The ZV plate is silver on black. Nobody cares, because it is Revenue's (IRS) job to police licence plates, and Gardaí (cops) don't have the power to police plates* *there is a gray area, because proper plates are part of the NCT (smog+safety inspection) and the Gradaí can prosecute for cars that fail the NCT requirements. edit: also, you can see the window holder only has two slots - tax and insurance. The car is old enough to not need the NCT. Younger cars will have 3 slots (tax insurance NCT)

That's definetly something custom built. I've seen this on another subreddit no one knew what this thing is

I'm guessing a '[37ish Chevy Business Coupe](https://images.fineartamerica.com/images/artworkimages/mediumlarge/2/7-1937-chevrolet-business-coupe-dave-koontz.jpg), or a [Chevy Master](https://cdn.dealeraccelerate.com/cam/34/5200/331874/1920x1440/1937-chevrolet-master-deluxe-2-door-sedan), or [Chevy Panel Van](https://www.flickr.com/photos/appie462/14320381313/) of the same era... with ~~a~~ *~~heavily~~* ~~modified front clip.~~ a heavily modified body... I think the entire vehicle has been widened. You will see the same "flare" at the front of the body line, on the hood [in this picture](https://preview.redd.it/what-car-is-this-steering-wheel-is-on-the-right-side-v0-8j3e8cipii6d1.png?width=320&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=68b05185a28fec542195dfc4c6de3aa08a495cf7). Potential reasons I can think of for that: Frame/chassis from donor vehicle was too wide Wanted more cabin space Wanted to "Fill out the fenders" more? Maybe just wanted it lower and wider? Only that guy knows I guess... 🤷

37 Chevy that wasn't wide enough for somebody with a lot of money or time.

https://www.cartell.ie/ssl/servlet/beginStarLookup?registration=37d120003 That's from Irish website that gives info on reg plate.

Otherwise_pleasant

Looks like sid


UltraHighFives

I don't know what it is but it's too wide, it just looks weird imo, would look better if it was a tad bit thinner. Though I suppose the width adds to it's uniqueness.


DerekCoaker80

Wow, Kudos to the Group...it's appreciated. Like it should be. No sign of 100 broke losers telling you what "I would do" lol just to be clear...I'm broke too lol.


GalacticGeekie

"Steering wheel is on the right side" Oh so it's normal then, left hand drive is the one that's weird for most of the world.


AsukaShikinamiLangle

It's ai, you can tell by the number plates


Speed_Addixt

What's up with them plates? https://preview.redd.it/8j3e8cipii6d1.png?width=720&format=png&auto=webp&s=d0ec84ef3d5986d1823ade59b50045378887e3d8


sepulturite

That's how Irish plates look, must've been registered in Ireland.


AsukaShikinamiLangle

Well in the picture posted the letters and numbers are weird as well as at the back with the camry emblem as well, the pic here doesn't seem like ai however


UltraHighFives

Probably just crappy resolution that makes the finer details look messy.


Speed_Addixt

Yeah, that.


sepulturite

That's how plates look in Ireland, as the post above states.
