The aircraft tail in the background indicates that specific plane was manufactured in '47, and crashed in 1950, so the picture had to be taken in the summer of 48, 49, or 50.
In fairness to you, small aircraft general designs haven’t changed much over the decades, and I was also surprised to see that style of top before the 1960s.
That’s a modern plane (and she wouldn’t wear that top in the 40s).
I believe it’s an Ercoupe, and that style was known in the 1940s

You know nothing
If they know that already, then they are very wise.
That make and model first flew in 1937.
Guess all those 40’s movies I’ve watched where they wear such stuff were faked, like the moon landings.
