A Buick is partially seen, whats the car in the center ?

Attachment 1980804

The Buick appears to be a 47/48 - not her 46 convertible recently restored. We have seen pictures of her driving a sedan as well, maybe it is that one.

The other car in question appears to be a 56/57 Studebaker. Probably a President going by the two tone trim.

From the same day, Jaipur R-R Phantom II (Chassis 89-MW) is also seen

Rani Sharda devi was from Khairagarh and married into Bissau family, I am hoping this car survived ? The picture is from 1960's.

The car behind is likely to be a 48/49 Cadillac. One convertible is in a private collection that was supposed to have Jaipur connections, perhaps the same car.
