He is a dead ringer for my paternal grandfather. He was from Canton OH and also German.

Great pic Khan. My DH's great grandparents were German and came through Ellis Island. Wish I had pics of them to share with everyone. He was a violin maker and she was a singer. I always thought that's where DH got his love for music.

The car looks like a 1951 Buick
The nurse looks like my neighbors picture from WW2, she was a WASP. I remember one story she told was she hated flying the bombers. Too much like driving a bus. Her favorite was the single-engine fighters.....

I'd say a 1949 Buick Super- Unless another porthole is hidden behind the little girl's head. It that caso it would be a Roadmaster.

IIRC, If the car didn't start the first time they would have to wait 30 minutes to try again.

My mother (left) at a family picnic circa 1913. She was on the lace curtain Irish side.
Me (second to left) with my brothers circa 1955. Can anyone identify that vehicle?

You played with dolls? 
Just kidding.... 
I was a stuffed animal aficionado myself. Still am. I'm drooling over the teddy bear in the pic.
