Default what make/model of car is this?

This is my father and mother sometime between 1943 and 1946.
Can anyone identify what kind of car it was?

If you can send me the clearest and largest copy of these or any others you may have, I can run it through an application that may be able to enhance tit enough to see whell covers or something.

Can you attach a file in a PM? If not, e-mail.



EDIT: First guess would be 1938 Ford Cabriolet....but just a guess at this point.

I'm going with 1935 or 36 Ford.


Edit: Ok, 35 to 39 ford. Anything after that has a vent window. Plus the line on the door curls up on both ends. Dead give away I say.

I cannot find where Ford made a 2 door convert until 38, but I could be wrong. Looks fordish to me as well. I am lookng for a good pic of 39 Delux convert.

Any Packard pics I find, do not have the line on upper part of door curl up on each end. Plus the Packard wheels and hub caps are different.

This is a 37 ford.
