That black one is a fortyseven Police car....I would've said fortyseven Ford Pilot Police car, but the badge on the grill I don't know & may make it from some other country the Brits sent their cars to...Canada??....

Apart from that, I cannot get over the fact that the Pilot was immediately followed by the first Ford Zephyr and the difference in design is light years apart - the Zephyr was also the first production car to have McPherson strut front suspension, which was even more light years ahead of the Pilot!

I think the mass producers were caught during the pre-war with a body/ /fender design philosophy they had to carry through till after the war. The smaller producers in Europe had already started to integrate the fenders and nose/tail ponton style, and when the big producers caught up and replaced their old designs it was day and night....although I have to say that UK Fords/Vauxhalls suffered looks wise in the 50's compared to their pre-50's brethren.Apart from that, I cannot get over the fact that the Pilot was immediately followed by the first Ford Zephyr and the difference in design is light years apart - the Zephyr was also the first production car to have McPherson strut front suspension, which was even more light years ahead of the Pilot!

Hate to disappoint you but there is no pic unless it's a stealth car.
But based on your hint is it any of the following, Minsk, CZ, Java, Blata, Tomos?
