In 1948 most ladies wore skirts. Persuading your SO to go for a ride might be difficult. Also, cars without doors generally had the sidewall next to the seats cut down to make getting your leg over easier. It's a triumph of appearance over utility.

My concern would be the fact that, in 1948, backup cameras hadn't been invented. That thing needs one in the front to see what you're about to hit.
