It's not a Nailhead, but it is a Buick...

Is that picture on the net or did you scan a magazine?

Looks like a Buick 215 to me.
Perhaps the man weighing it is from Rover, but doesn't look like Spen King so it could be someone from Peerless/Warwick - doesn't look like Bernie Rodger so John Gordon?

It's from a magazine...it IS a Buick 215, no Rover connection.
