That's interesting and a good possibility.
The car fits the '38 pedigree with the split windshield. Faded memories is another likelihood. What's a year or two among family?

I verified I had the correct car photo with my cousin (before she was born). She says that's her mother and grandfather(NICE hat grandpa) doing the washing.

I know they just handed out driver licenses also in OH in those days. You just went down and got one, no test or anything. There weren't that many cars on the road. My grandfather had the first vehicle in Girard, I'm told, a chain drive truck. They had no licenses at that time. He converted from deliveries by wagon and horse teams.

My Cad is registered in SC, and they only have one check box for a two door, ie, coupe de ville, but there's two 2 dr models, so they call it what it's not. De Ville was a trim option not a model then but that changed in 64 so there's more of them as models. Strange but true.

We judge things based on how we see them, not necessarily how they are.
