January 1941. Sarasota, Florida. "Guests of trailer park enjoying the sun and sea breeze at the beach." Nitrate negative by Marion Post Wolcott. (I think that must be a 1940 Olds.) At the end of this post, see Marion Wolcott's iconic photo of perhaps the most not-fun beach picnic ever.

1941 Oldsmobile in Maine. And Marion Post Wolcott in Florida
Saw the car in Searsport, Maine. Looked pretty solid and original. From the '81 NH plates it hasn't been on the road for a while.
