The car is a 1946 Dodge Custom 4 Door sedan,
model D-24. The DeLuxe would have whitewall tires (although those on the car could be replacements).

The people: Momma, bother and sister. Dad is probably in that F-82F, which dates the photo to 1949 or later. Indeed, I suspect that this photo dates to 1950 when most of the P-82 nightfighter units deployed to Korea and Japan, I suspect that this photo is of a family seeing their husband and father off to war. Those large ferry tanks under the wings would not be used unless there was a very long flight ahead. The photo appears to taken in the California desert. I can't make out the buzz number, but I'd guess that this aircraft served with the 51st or 52nd Fighter Group.

I recall that the pod was designed that long to get the radar antenna out in front of the propeller disks. Nonetheless, I would expect another pilot might get nervous if an F-82F pulled up too close in the slot position...
