Doesn't do much for me compared to the other one.
Those look like guy's board shorts around his knees...but whatever fires your rockets I guess!

Last year my brother and I were parked at the street curb unloading our kayaks off my MGB-GT when a young Mom pulled up behind us and standing by her open door like that person, proceeded to strip out of her shorts and put on a skimpy little bikini with nothing else on but an almost long enough tank top, all the while we were standing right there by her front fender talking to her with lots of questions about her paddle board and how she managed to get her kid and dog to stay on it with her... And she was all smiles while putting on her show...

Could it be a 1935 or 1936 La Salle Convertible Coupe?

 

Wow really loving these, ill have to look through them all over the course of the winter haha

 

I was thinking LaSalle myself.
After doing some image searches on Google, I think it may be a '34 LaSalle.
