It's a late 1930's Willys, either 1937 or 1938. The 1939 and 1940 models had trim on the side of the hood with taillamps flush with the body. 1941 and 1942 models had the windshield wipers mounted on the cowl.

Cars with vacuum dual wipers either had a single motor with cables controlling both wipers hidden from view or a motor for each wiper. Willys cars, though, had a motor on one wiper and an external arm controlling the other wiper.

The 1937-38 Willys 77 had a 100" wheelbase and used a 134.2-cid flathead four. The engine was first introduced on the 1926 Whippet and was used on the Jeep through to 1967.

So much for my memory! It is a 1939 as the 1937-38 models had vents down the side of the hood. The yellow coupe is a 1937 and the sedan is a 1939 Overland, introduced after the initial 1939 models (actually, leftover 1938 models).
