Hello everyone, I found this is a old post card of Seagrove Beach. On back it says, " SEAGROVE BEACH FLORIDA "Where Nature Did Its Best" Just off U. S. 98 between Panama City and Fort Walton. Highest elevation directly on the Gulf of Mexico. The only shoreline property with beautiful trees. 45 feet above sea level with Magnolia, Hickory, Oak, Holly and Pine trees growing right to the edge of the bluff! No blowing sand. Highly desirable for home sites. Excellent paved road (state road 395) direct to property. C. H. McGee, Sr. owner-developer. Mail address, P.O. Box 2440, Panama City Beach, Florida.

That is an unusual pic for a postcard! I love the old ones.

Can't help you with the type of car, but that looks like the side of the Seagrove Village Market to me. :D

My best guess would be around a '41 Dodge. It is difficult to tell from this distance and with a tree blocking the rear side window.
