Eatonville’s police cars have come a long way over the years. This 1941 Ford Coupe was Marshal Clair Daly’s vehicle when he was the Eatonville Marshal in 1942.
The Ford car was updated in 1941, in preparation for a time of unpredictability surrounding WWII. For example, the front fenders came in three pieces, the theory being that small damage could be replaced easily. (per Wikipedia)
Thank you Abbi Wonocatt for providing the photo.

Thanks, Diane. This was Grandpa’s personal car. They had fun playing with the “spot light” he installed on the driver’s side. Mom says he was marshal, dog cather, and more!
