Interesting photo.
Definitely Senior.
Looks to me like a 127" wheel base. If it is 127", it can't be a 1942 Senior and it can't be a 180 of either 1941 or 1942. Can't tell the year for sure without a better look at the front end. I suspect 1941.

My guess would be a 1941 160 Touring Sedan model 1472. Anybody else have a differing opinion?

I'll leave the discussion of how the U.S.A. made the transition from peacetime to wartime economy to any historians that feel qualified to tackle the question.
