Well, I'd say it's a Curved Dash, right down to the Olds crest on the side.
I've got some pretty obscure reference materials and I can't find anything
like that. A Google search shows Olvera was a Mexican marketplace on the
site of modern-day Los Angeles.
There was a Florida company that repopped Curved Dash Olds models in the
1970s (there's a elderly fellow in my neck of the woods who will not believe
me when I tell him it's not the genuine article, even though it's got the
manufacturer's Florida plate on it!) and maybe someone in Mexico did the
same.
That's not to say that the car isn't genuine, but I definitely have my
doubts. I think someone bought a car complete with a good story from the
previous owner.
