Terry, that group looks like a bunch of guys waiting to be the first one in the gate at the flea market at Hershey after the long inactivity that we have had to cope with.

This image was included in a 2008 'Railroads and World War II' Special Collector's Edition magazine feature article titled FDR's Wartime Train Travels by Fred B. Wrixon by Classic Trains magazine by Kalmbach Publishing Co. on page 23.  It shows the military welcoming ceremony for FDR's visit to Fort Lewis, Washington, September 22, 1942.   The photo credit noted is "U.S. Army, Robert Wayner Collection, Courtesy Bob Withers. 

 

For an eight year old 1934 Packard Twelve Model 1108 Dietrich Convertible Sedan by 1942, someone was taking very good care of it evidenced by its fine condition.   If someone has knowledge of or can discover more about this particular Packard, its history and whether we're fortunate enough that it is still extant, we would all welcome the enlightenment.   Following it are a 1941 DeSoto convertible coupe and a late 1920's Lincoln L touring, which nice in their own right, pale by comparison.

Awesome and note it is front and center (and RR too for that matter) even though a 7-ish year old car

Can't ID the vehicle, but my guess is that the gent would be willing to sell you something.

Had this answered elsewhere - 1913 Imperial, built in Jackson, Michigan. Looks like a custom top on a touring car.
