Kicking off today's #DavesCarIDService with a solution to one that stumped me last week: I can now positively ID as 1937 Oldsmobile coupe. That which I initially though was a gas filler cap is in fact a taillight
for reference, here is a less fuzzy photo of a '37 Olds coupe showing its weird quarter panel-mounted bullet taillights
Both cars are Ford Model T Tourings, and per the 3-rectangle rear windows, both date to 1917-22
1937 GMC Cabover, but modified / dropped suspension (likely airbags) and B-L-C 682-C headlights
1946 Chevy Fleetline coupe, done up barrio bomba style, Ese
1927 Chevy National 2-door sedan; apparently you are from a Chevy-centric family
1940 Ford Deluxe coupe, I'll, er, help you declutter by, um, hauling it away to the junkyard for $25, cheap
when it comes to helping folks feng shui their way out of a messy clutter of old worthless rusty cars, I'm really a saint
1959 Ford Galaxie 500 with the Skyliner tuck-away convertible hardtop option, only available 1957-59
L-R: 1955 Ford, 1955 Ford, 1947 or 1948 Ford
1968 Dodge Coronet R/T, the R/T stands for Rapid Transit to the honeymoon suite
not customs, but a couple of 1970s era fiberglass "neoclassic" visual atrocities
1941 Oldsmobile, one of the homeliest mugs ever put on an automobile
1954 (only production year) Kaiser Darrin, named for designer Dutch Darrin. Had one-of-a-kind sliding pocket doors
pic #1 and #3 are the same car, 1934 Ford, but #2 is a 1936 Ford
1941 Studebaker, engine is small block Chevy
Looks like a Fiat 500 to me, but Fiat wasn't shy about licensing their designs to dopey commie regimes behind the Iron Curtain
1957 Cadillac, not stock, but probably coachbuilt when new as a funeral home flower car
1960-ish Porsche 356B coupe, I'll let Porsche fanatics nail down exact year
Circa 1930 Henderson KJ Streamline, one of the most amazing motorcycles ever. Made in Chicago, Henderson was produced by the Schwinn company
