Guest Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 The green car looks to have had an emblem added to the cowl since Miss Hayworth's time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the antenna on the black and white photo. I also see that the windows match when looking very close at them. The only difference I see is the added emblem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you zoom in on the original it's hard to tell if the emblem is there, however, there is something in the same area be it a reflection in the paint or maybe a retouch by the original photographer?

Guest Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I looked closely at that too 3macboys before I posted. My computer has a 48 inch big screen so I can really zoom in on things like this. That truly appears to be part of the same reflection that shows all along the front fender, cowl, door and quarter panel, although I have no explanation for why that emblem should not be on the car in that picture.

Crusty Trucker Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 There is a possibility that some changes could have been made over the years. but it's the same car. Example: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f.f.jones Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) More period pictures. This shows the proper emblem in the proper place in 1941 in Georgia and a left front mounted antenna. The bumpers were donated to the WWII scrap metal drive. California, 1942. Again, no bumpers Edited April 26, 2022 by f.f.jones (see edit history) 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
