What Kind of Car Is on the First Superman Comic Book?
This is the cover of Action Comics #1, the first comic book to feature Superman. Jalopnik author Jason Torchinsky asks a question I've never considered before: what kind of car is Superman lifting? Torchinsky and various Jalopnik commenters think that it's either a 1937 DeSoto, Plymouth or Ford. You can read their analyses at the link.
It's definitely the Desoto. The plymouth has the wrong front end and the ford doesn't have enough windows.
