WWII began in Poland—1939, but agree, most of these parked cars were definitely from the late 30s.
One of car models parked lakeside appears in front of the Capitol building on
Pearl Harbor Day (1941). The same day, the same model also appears fragmented by a bomb
among Pearl Harbor photographs. Was its radio tuned to a broadcast of
Isolationists?
Parked nearest the entrance is a Ford "Business Man's Coupe", AKA, the "Three Window Coupe". Usually "chopped" and "channeled" for hot-rods from the 1950s.
Pontiac made a eponymous coupe through the same years.
'Best as I can figure, years for the Ford "Business Man's Coupe" were 1934 to 1938. For ventilation, the windshield hinged forward (to open at the bottom),
and the rear window rolled down.
Want a good original one today? It'll cost you upwards from $35,000!
