Very cool.
My dad bought a 1941 Chevrolet when he returned from the war. Us kids have a photograph of him proudly standing next to his “new” car.
My brother came across the exact same model car a few years ago and did a full-on restoration - even the same color and Dad’s, and then presented it to him before he passed.
I now have side~by~side shots of him in 1946 and again in 2012 standing next to his pride and joy.
I’d love to see the pic, if you care to post it.
