Looks like a '39 to me.

This could have been a photo from late 1938 when the 39’s were starting to roll off the lines.

Some photos like this helped me research when I was working on the 40 book. However, I learned early that many of these were staged and as such, not "accurate" when compared to "real life".

I don't know why I said 38. I knew it was a 39
