Wow :-) You guys are great! I never expected such a quick reply. Thank you. The cars are very similar aren't they? Did Dodge copy Desoto? Or did Desoto copy Dodge? Could it be a Dodge with Desoto hubcaps? LOL. Or was it common back then for cars to share nearly identical design characteristics? They are both beautiful but look to be stamped from the same dies. Modified just a little. I'm leaning toward the Desoto because of the hubcap. But I would like more opinions. A shame the picture wasn't taken just a few feet farther back so we could see more. It is a remarkeable photograph in that it's only a 3 x 5 print. Yet scanned at 1200 dots per inch it prints 8 X 10 beautifully with minimal touchup. Something to say for the quality of optical film and paper even back then. I'm in the process of building a garage and workshop where I can share two hobbies I have in common with Dad. Woodworking and tinkering with cars. The building when finished will be dedicated to Dad and this picture will hang, beautifully framed, above my work bench. It would be wonderfull to be able to add a caption at the bottom. Something like "Dad and his 1939 Desoto". Thanks again, Franj
