1957 Plymouth Suburban #DavesCarIDService
1932-34 Ford pickup
1950-2 International Harvester pickup
1933-34 Ford roadster body, '32 Ford grille shell, dual quad small block Chevy engine
Pretty sure it's a very early (1907-10) Ford Model T, with right hand drive and gas illumination, but upholstery is off
1952-56 Ford F100, and congratulations for marrying, as I did, a gearhead girl
1941-46 Chevy; except for a handful of military staff cars, Detroit stopped making passenger cars during WW2, but continued making commercial vehicles. It'd be interesting if this was a '43-'45.
1923-ish Ford Model T Depot Hack. The first woody wagons were called depot hacks because they were taxis ("hacks") that picked you & your luggage up at the train depot.
1940 Plymouth, southbound on I-35 frontage road near Cesar Chavez
1937 Dodge D-5 sedan
1946-48 Ford or Mercury 2dr sedan
<tilts head> 1928 Pontiac, just back from the barber shop, and a kid on the running board fuming about that first haircut
Gotta say my favorite #DavesCarIDService requests are the slice-of-life family photos
L: 1953-56 Ford F600 truck
R: this took some investigation, but 1936 Hudson Deluxe 5-window coupe

1946-48 Ford sedan
1961 Cadillac
1960-64 Chevy Corvair; hubcaps say 1963. Car in background is 1962-3 Rambler 2 door wagon.
1947 or 48 Studebaker Commander coupe
1973 Olds Toronado
Ford Model T touring, I believe the 2-pane rear window top is unique to 1923
1930-31 Ford Model A coupe, unchopped, rolled rear pan
1928-9 Ford Model A foreground
Across the street L-R, 35-37 Ford standard sedan, 36-37 Chevy sedan, 1935 Chevy coupe
Across the street L-R, 35-37 Ford standard sedan, 36-37 Chevy sedan, 1935 Chevy coupe
1950 Chevy Styleline coupe
1961 Rambler American. Rare-ish I guess, but limited collector demand.
1931 Ford Model A, A400 convertible sedan body style (the rarest of all Model As) and may I just add, DADDY LIKEY
This photo also illustrates why we (at least we Americans) refer to a car "trunk." Early cars had not luggage compartment so accessory travel trunks were mounted on rear bumper and were eventually integrated in car designs.
if you want to get into the old car hobby, can't beat Model T Fords. Not rare, but funky and simple, iconic and historically important, and you can buy high quality ones all day for <$10k. Tons of parts readily available. Be a mechanic like great grandpa.
Obviously you can't take a T on the freeway, but you'll be the hit of the neighborhood puttering around in your Tin Lizzy. Other easy inexpensive entry cars into old car hobby are air cooled VWs and base model 60s Mustangs.
The thing about pre-WW2 cars is a lot of their original collectors are getting way up in age, and you'd be very surprised at how little it costs to buy a very nice, well maintained mass market car from the 20s and 30s.
all depends on condition/model. Most desirable, ranked:
year - 33, 34, 36, 35
body - roadster/cabrio, 3w, phaeton, 5w, Tudor, Fordor
Price can range $5k to $100k, but I know of a guy who put $1.5mm+ into a 36 coupe.

5 lug steel wheels were rare in that era, I'm guess a '26 Lincoln but small chance it's a Chandler
1959 Ford TBird / 1959 or 60 Chevy Corvette with Von Dutch style reverse flames
sorry if this is dragging on, I have a big backlog of ID requests
1863 Model H Ford. I'm tapping out for the day to play in the garage, I'll be back for more #DavesCarIDService soon
