Special early holiday weekend #DavesCarIDService: Granny drove a 1931 Ford Model A, but a very special one, a late 1931 visorless slant windshield Victoria.
Here's a picture of one in full. They appeared late in the 1931 model year, a hint to the styling of the 1932 "Deuce." Very rare by Ford Model A standards.
Chopped 1934 Ford Model 40 3 window coupe, or, should I say, coop. If it's steel, I'd be happy to haul away that unsightly chicken shed at no cost to you.
1959 Buick Invicta, and now you owe me another hug, Dollface
I do in fact occasionally cover milk trucks, and this is a circa 1947 Divco
Angelenos may recognize the famous Helms Bakery Divcos, this one a circa 1935
1959 Chevy Bel Air, lack of V insignia = 6 cylinder
gonna take a pass on this one, other than it's some kinda faux neoclassic Super Fly hearse
it's kinda small to tell for sure, but I'm guessing a 1929-30 Nash or possibly 1929-30 Chrysler; and damn that is one big ass cactus
Another cool wonders-of-nature ID: 1918 Kissel Military Highway Scout Kar, made in beautiful downtown Hartford, Wisconsin
Early MGB, judging by rear view mirror location either 62 or 63
46 or 47 Buick Special Sedanette, looks like he added a few more bits of chrome doll-up accessories from the JC Whitney catalog
1955 Ford TBird; principle difference b/t 55 & 56 TBirds is 56 had standard rear Continental Kit
visible cars there are both 1917-23 Model Ts, but clothing style looks closer to late 1920s
1938 Studebakers, either Commanders or Presidents. One of the first Studebaker models where Raymond Loewy was a design consultant. I think he also designed that train.
72 Chevy Monte Carlo, shame about the rubber band tires. Friends don't let friends put low profile tires on old cars
1977ish well-past-Studebaker Avanti II. Note the makeshift 5 mph bumper to appease the federal government's She-Wolf of the Safety SS, Joan Claybrook
Took a bit of research, but I'm fairly confident it's a 1927 Hudson Essex Super 6. And great pic, btw
1948-52 Ford F100, and looks like Dad's about to drop a big block Ford FE motor in it, using a tree limb as a motor lift, so he can take it to the Black Oak Arkansas concert at the Armory #KeepOnTruckin
I love the 1920s-30s family pic car ID requests, but space cowboy boogie van pics are welcome too
Grandpa's illicit poker prize was a 1941 Plymouth
1946-8 Dodge, and I imagine you already know that LeClaire Iowa is home base of TV's American Pickers (and home town of Buffalo Bill Cody)
your rootin' tootin' six shootin' dad is standing next to a 1938 Chevy, and that's a cool fender doggo btw
Center stage is a 1955 or so Jaguar D Type, surrounded by a phalanx of Porsche 356s. And now you also owe me some extra hugs, Toots
that's it for car-IDing today, I'll eventually try to get to your requests.
Quick errata, corrected by a car pal: Not a 46-8 Dodge, but rather a 50-52 Plymouth, which share similar taillights. I regret the error.
