Another shot of my Grandma. This was taken sometime in the late 50s. She and my Grandad drove cross country to reside in Alaska. My grandad was in the film industry and delivered films to the crew working on the Alaska Pipeline. View full size.

It is a Pontiac

Seat shell indicates it is a 1955 Pontiac and looking at rear door window shape, I think it is a 55 Pontiac 4-door station wagon.

Grandma at the wheel

Something about this says '56 or '57 Chevrolet. 50s gals in slacks: back in them days it was an unusual enough sight for the 10-year-old me to be intrigued, especially so in the case of the only lady* Greyhound Bus driver on the Marin/San Francisco routes we frequented. I queried my mother about the unusual circumstance: her name was Jerry, had started driving the bus during the War, and kept it up afterwards.

*The use of the term "lady" is historically authentic in this context. A 10-year-old in 1956 would never say "How come there's a woman bus driver/doctor/steam shovel operator?"
