Hi: DH says it looks like a Chrysler product. Maybe a Plymouth?

Thanks! I have been pouring over images of hood ornaments etc and can't find it either. The headlights are not like the 1939 Chryslers or Plymouths - I guess I will just list and hope someone figures it out. Thanks for help!

The hood ornament appears to be Cadillac but the headlights don't and the Grill is very unusual especially with all that chrome going down the center of the grill, it makes the grill just way too fancy.
Sometimes the service station that is doing the advertising is not allowed to use a car to advertise there own product because they don't have permission from the Car manufacturer. So what they do is distort the car in many ways where it's hard to know just what car they are showing. So that would make the car a special car of no known type...lol
Because there purpose is not to advertise
the Car but to use the car sort of like a prop.

Duh - I just read the ad a little more carefully -"New and Used Cars ... Vic's Super Service, Hudson Sales and Service" (so I guess it's a Hudson after all) - here I was thinking Hudson WI (a city across the border).

I just found one that looks a lot like mine - 1938 Hudson Terraplane (but my postcard shows a coupe):
