Can anyone tell me, what type of car is on the right hand side of this picture?

Yes, in Ballina, where Dunnes Stores currently is. Long before my time though, I'm just going on what I'm told!

I wonder what is going on in that pic? They have a car under a cover on the back of a truck behind the group of people.
Would you consider posting it to that Facebook page. They might be interested and possibly get more info.

For fear of revealing my true identity, I'd rather not!

It was posted up on "Patrick J Clarke"'s facebook page, on the 3rd of february this year, if you would like to ask yourself. (Link below)

Guessing by the unregistered MK1 Consuls, the photo was taken early 1950s
