You left out the most important information -- what's the vehicle?
Leica M6, 28mm f1.9 Voigtlander, tri-x

Because of the archer statue on the radiator cap I am guessing this is an old Pierce-Arrow, down at the Blackhawk Museum in Danville, CA.

I am really dating myself -- I remember a show in the '60s on American TV, "My Mother The Car" starring Jerry Van Dyke. The car was a Pierce Arrow. Ann Sothern voiced the mother/car: My Mother the Car - WikipediaBecause of the archer statue on the radiator cap I am guessing this is an old Pierce=Arrow, down at the Blackhawk Museum in Danville, CA.

Don't feel bad, I remember Ann Sothern in Private Secretary. She still makes me sweat. ;o)

I think it was very loosely based on a 1930's Ford, but it was a quite extreme Ratrod, so it was difficult to tell...

The Wikipedia entry says that, it's true -- but I am pretty sure it was a Pierce Arrow -- I wouldn't have even heard of a PA other than that show. (And I'd never heard of a Porter until I saw your note!)

From my now Broken Minox 35 EL and some random aliexpress black and white film and focusing issues due to a misaligned lens...
Is that a Renault? ^^

SIMCA. I believe it is a Simca.

I would say a Renault 10, see sliding rear windows and the remains of trim on the sides.
The Simca 1000 looks similar but is rather more 'go faster'.

Agreed, it is not a Simca Mille. But I thought that Simca brought out a larger sedan to follow the Mille. I was unaware Renault made any large rear engined cars. I thought they quit with the Dauphine and the Caravelle/Floride. I stand corrected. You are right, it is the 10. This would have followed the Caravelle/Floride. Bon.
