Yeah! But what I wanna know if this is 1942, then why are these people wastin' their gasoline ration coupons on this obvious joyride???...let alone why those those obviously 1-A classified young men aren't over there fightin' the Krauts!!!!
Early in'42, there was a waiting line to sign up. Some folks (like my uncle who was a crane operator in a steel mill) were not allowed to sign up because they had a strategically critical job.
Judging from their neatly combed hair, doesn't look like they were using any gas at all. No sign of exhaust smoke either. In '42, 200 - 250 miles per qt of oil was considered very good.
