I think you're correct about the '47 Pontiac, Paul.

I grew up among those cars. There was a day when I could tell you the
make, model and year of just about any car. After a little more
research, I believe that car could be either one of '42, '46 or '47. The
'48 had the same body style but the line thing on the fenders was
different. The '41 fender did not extend into the door. Just trying to
get the thing identified. VBG

There were very few cars made during WWII. The automotive industry
converted to airplanes, tanks, Jeeps, and anything else they were
capable of building for the war effort. After the war it took a while
for the auto industry to return to building cars and the first were from
old designs, particularly the models with less production (sales). I
didn't didn't get an image that looked like Ansel till I specified -
Pontiac Silver Streak woody wagon. So the higher end models may of had
the extra metal on the doors for simulated fenders and extra chrome. I'm
not that sharp on the cars after the war till early 50s, I didn't care
for the looks.
