hubcap & side trim say 1938 or 1939 Oldsmobile 2 door flatback sedan, and Mom & Pops were quite the dapper duo #DavesCarIDService
Circa 1950 Crosley station wagon. Crosleys were made in Cincinnati, a project of the Crosley radio magnate
Man, this is a toughie, and sending out the Old Car Nerd batsignal for ID help. Distinguishing characteristic is short, raked/curved, wide space hood louvers; also Packard style 12 spoke, 12 bolt hub / 6 bolt rim spoke wheels
Closest I can get is a 1921-2 Nash Six touring, but rear window is off and lacks running board step plate
I usually do these in order submitted, but too weird to pass up: cowl = 1930/31 Ford roadster, engine= 61-72 Ford Thriftline straight 6 OHV, rear fenders = 60-66 Chevy stepside truck, front wheels=Ford 18" Model A, headlights= BLC 682Js, Duval windshield
quick reminder, tag your ID requests with #DavesCarIDService or it's likely I won't see it
also, pretty sure a 1930 Ford grill, and the cowl steering Pitman arm suggest a steering box from an old farm combine.
1934 Ford Model 40, and another reminder that our antecedents had more cool & style than we could ever hope for
*most noteworthy diff b/t 1933 and 34 Fords are the hood louvers; 34s are straight, 33s have slight curve; Edsel Ford designed curved '33s, but rumor is Henry thought stamping was too expensive and ordered them to be straight for '34
You may know the 1934 Ford Model 40 as the Bonnie & Clyde death car, or perhaps the ZZ Top Eliminator
1938 Ford 1-ton, tho gotta say first time I've seen a truck this old with a hydraulic scissor lift. But my real attention is on the new 1939 Lincoln Zephyrs in the dealership
I want to say 1921 Hudson 6 coupe, but twin-row hood louvers are incorrect; may need an assist on this one
It may be the 1930s USSR, but those there are a 1930 Ford Model A touring and a 1934 Ford Model 40
front: 1950 Buick Special, 1950 Nash Metropolitan

next row, L-R 1950 Chevy Fleetline, 1935-37 Ford Model 48 Humpback, 1950 Dodge Coronet, 1947 Cadillac

also: I hate you
1955-ish Volvo PV444, which, if you squint, looks like a mini version of a 1942-48 Ford
1960-ish Panhard PL17.

Also I wonder if Panhard is a Christmas movie
