Rita's Rest: a Ford "Woodie"

Rita's Rest: a Ford "Woodie", originally uploaded by Alida's Photos.

Scene at the Sayville parking lot on a summer evening, where everyone stops by to take a look at the bay.
Hot night, hazy sky and some after-dinner "hanging out" with friends.

This old car (plate says 1948) is a Ford "woodie" station wagon.
It also has a plate that says, "Rita's Rest" from West Sayville, NY, but I could not find anything searching google with that reference.
