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.
