History during and pre ww2 customs and rods

OK, I’ve got to look for the picture of my dad’s first car. he was born in Hollywood 1924 Went to Hollywood high school and graduated I think in 1943. But in the meantime, he had this 37 Ford four-door sedan He had no preferred version because his next car was also four-door Plymouth 1940 sedan. Damn, back then a four-door sedan was almost equal to a two door convertible and everything in between. yes, a little weird from our standpoint now but back then it wasn’t really an issue with him

Pre war rod pic from my search for more pics of the 1948 SCTA Hot Rod Exposition show on the hunt for any photo of the Barris Buick or (by a long shot) Jesse Lopez or the Barris Brothers in the crowd
