The car appears to be a classic 1940 Ford coupe. These had two seats up front with two folding "jump seats" in the rear which folded down from each side, so the people using these rear seats faced each other across the car. My Grandmother had one of these, but it got sold before I was old enough to ask for it. These had the early sixty horsepower V-8 engines. Riding in the jump seats was a real thrill for small children when on curvy roads (remember seat belts had not been invented) yet. Is this a motive power movement, were all units pulling ? A great catch Tyler.
