Matt, thanks for the answers!  BTW, the family nickname for the woody was the "Monsoon" (no idea why, except maybe that my whirlwind of a vision-challenged grandmother often drove it somewhat erratically and maybe that's what it looked like to alarmed townspeople).  My earliest memory of the convertible is of my father driving it in the mid-1940's (top closed) with the family cat draped across the top of the brown leather bench seat, regally splayed just behind his neck.  No idea why the top was open in the winter photo although the car may have been very new at that moment and my grandfather liked to show off his toys for his camera.

 

Later family cars included a couple of Crosleys, two Henry J's and a Nash Metropolitan.  Short of cash or just gluttons for punishment?

Sun's out therefore the top is down! It probably has a good heater to blow on the driver's legs.
