Taken in Yellowstone ca. 1955 ![Yellowstone_Bears%20Car](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/8/a/8ae0d17091f0bffc510a7445b57134d61b673e42.jpeg) ---

If it isn’t actually a Chrysler, it is clearly a Chrysler _product_. If it isn’t a Chrysler, I think that it is likely to be a DeSoto. ---

It looks like a 1950 DeSoto to me. ---

I’m guessing a 49 Chrysler ---

After consulting my reference books, I’m pretty sure that it’s a '49 DeSoto. ---

No idea, but a cool picture. Yellowstone is awesome. We went there on vacation recently and I hope I get to return someday. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/6/0/60ba37a27f0636c6a4cf63f63ae1bc4929bdf4e3.jpeg) If I wasn’t born a “southerner”, I’d hope I was born a “westerner”. Although I’d like to see the NH, VT area too. But not in the winter! ---

These signs were in all the park bathrooms. I got a kick out of it. But I’m not averse to low brow humor. Enjoy: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/d/0/d00b4e65f6ab6d126d5058cf1d2223a161e1085a.jpeg) ---

Chrysler Windsor. '49 looks right. The '48 didn’t have the small horiz chrome strip behind the front wheel. (Hub caps & fender badge by the cub are the Chrysler script. Def not DeSoto.) ---

I changed my original answer. It is a 1949 Chrysler. The hubcaps and the script on the front fender indicate that it is not a DeSoto. The hubcaps are wrong for a 1950 Chrysler. ---

That’s not humor: most people squat; they do it out of necessity, but it’s healthier for the muscles. ---

I’m surprised it’s not a a Subearu. … I’ll show myself out. ---

I would have said DeSoto but the writing on the hub cap didn’t look right so agree a Chrysler. Sun visors were pretty much standard equipment back then with no tinted glass. Doesn’t look like it has a radio either. As far as the signs go, my first encounter was in a men’s room in Italy where there was a fixture with just two places for your feet. I didn’t need that particular feature but had to ask how the heck you used it. ---
