That is Lou Wullenweber outside his Tucker dealership in Cincinnati OH on July 19th 1948. The car is Tucker #1003.

It sure is. It is privately owned in Northern California. It was recently restored and was seen last year (on right) when it raced against Tucker #1031 (on left).

Where did you find this image?

I believe that is Charles Stobar Working on the 1958 Thunderbird JR body mold. Charles worked for Ford styling and made these molds prior to the introduction of the new model year Thunderbird, Mercury and in 65 Mustang cars so they could be used by the dealerships in opening day festivities. Here is the same mold in an earlier stage of the process in a 1959 Ford Times magazine article.

I own that mold!

 

This i a still from a 1941 movie called Niagara Falls - in the previous set-up scene she's driving a 32 Model B and her friend has a 40 Ford DeLuxe convertible

 

Carole Lombard had a real zest for life. She loved her Packard
and shooting with her fellow movie-star husband, Clark Gable.
One of the biggest, best-paid stars of the Silver Screen, she
nevertheless sacrificed her life doing her patriotic duty in January
'42. Having just finished a hugely successful war bond drive in
her native Indiana, she braved a winter storm to fly home to be
with her love. Though the plane went down in the mountains,
ending her life at 33, she is always remembered for her screen
presence, her love of life and for her love of country. She was
the darling of many of the nation's best photographers and, so,
we have much to remember her by.

 

Vast difference from what we have to look at these days........... Tom S.

 

Model A dashboards do not look like the one in the photo. It's a '32.

 

That's Ava Gardner
