    Very poor quality image. Looks very early T Series MG in shape (TA/TB).

    Not a staff car but could have been.

    1941 model so still has chrome bumpers, trim and white walls.

    Interesting picture.

    It's a Packard 2 door convertible with a 4 star plate on it. Could be Patton's but he wasn't promoted to 4 star until April of 45 and was killed in a Cadillac staff car. I wonder if it was Bradley's or Hap Arnolds.

    2 door convertible is odd too. Maybe a commandeered civilian car?
