Just did some quick google image searching and a 1941 Chevy Coupe looks VERY similar. The grill looks slightly different but the hood ornament, chrome trim on the side, the driver door/window, lines, etc all look super close.

I thought the same but the grill is way different, it's in the ball park though, trying to find the date the picture was taken.

There is not enough to see, but the OP could be a 1941 Buick, by the looks of the grill.

1940 Chevy -- as it has the smaller, more frequent horizontal grill components.

I do agree 1940 may be correct.
However, I still believe that it is a Buick.
The Chevy had wider hood trim or holes in the hood if the trim was removed, whereas the Buick did not.

It's definitely a GM product, Ford, Mercury, Packard, Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth all have different lines and rear view mirrors. What does match is Buick and Chevrolet. Pontiac and Oldsmobile share a totally different squared off roof line. What is baffling is the dashes coming off the grill, that wasn't a feature on either Buick or Chevy. Makes me wonder if this may not be a Canada specific model which were typically based on US models with minor feature changes like a different grill.

Got a little more info, the picture was taken she believes in 1940.

1940 Buick coupe seems to me to be the closest.

I agree. The 1940 Chevy has a much wider chrome trim on the hood.
