Pre-war Puzzle

From reader Dave Otis:

In going through many pictures pertaining to my father-in-law, who recently passed away, I came across this photo taken in the Milwaukee, Wis., area of his family's car prior to entering the war with the US Navy in 1943. As you will notice, the picture is not in the best condition since it looks like it was folded in his wallet while serving on a hospital ship in the Pacific theater for two years.

Since he never mentioned this car, I found it interesting to know its origin and year of the vehicle if feasible. Hopefully your staff or readers will be able to answer this mystery question. Thanks, and keep up the great editorial work which I look forward to every week.
