Thelma Stickland & Bonnie Ward on top of their 1940s (Packard?) automobile in Roswell Georgia.
Awesome! They look so happy and carefree, that would be right after the war.

I learned how to drive in an older Packard. Felt like I was driving a boat it was so big.
David - wonder if your dad knew either of these ladies?
Love it!
I want the Car The two Women are Beautiful Looking. I would like to have the car
They also used women back then to sell cars. People wonder about our generation. Back then they had on decent clothing. Don't get me wrong they are pretty.
Looks more mid 30s grill & headlights.
I have a pic of my Mon sitting on the fender of her 1933 Ford, I bring it out every Christmas so she can celebrate with us*~
Why not frame it with an oval matte inside (or whatever you prefer) and hang it in the hallway permanently!! That's what I did.
This was back when you could sit on cars, do that nowadays and they cave in, bend...Very cool photo!!
Love this picture.
Josephine, Florence and Angela Macaluso, 1936. Angela was my grandmother and married this same year, at the age of 18. Her sisters remained spinsters and lived in the family home together. Florence was born in that house, and lived there about 82 years. Then she lived 11 more years in an apartment. It was our joke that she slept most of her life in the bed she was born in. I also joked with these ladies that this picture is of Blanche Barrow, Ma Barker and Bonnie Parker. My grandmother encountered Bonnie Parker in 1934 at a hair salon that was on Hwy 80 in Bossier City, just a few blocks from the family farm, which is where this photo was taken. She also knew Carlos Marcello before he was Carlos Marcello. He lived next door to cousins in Dallas, where she spent some time in the summers. I wish I had inherited this auto when the farm came to me!
