Default He or His?

Should it be "he and his wife's car",
or "his and his wife's car"????
It seems that both make sense.
Please help.
Thank you very much!!
:P

You will hear people saying both. The possessive makes more sense logically, but some don't like having the repetition of 'his'. I would use 'his'.
