Take a look at this Video of cars driving through Chicago in the early Forties.
I know that the Video says Thirties, but as you watch it, I can see a 1942 DeSoto as one of the cars shown.
Early on, there is a 1936 Ford with the Accessory Chrome Trim, as well as 1933 and 1934 Fords.
It is not too long, but very enjoyable for old car guys to watch.
