This car was an XM-32A built at Havelock in 1947 as part of the group
35000-36999.
There are a number of photos of cars of this class on page 12 of Bulletin #7
which deals extensively with the XM-32. I can't see any photos showing the
"other" side of an XM-32A, but the lettering diagram on the back page of the
Bulletin shows that "Everywhere West" would have been there.
Sorry I can't help with the model question.
