First full day of Winter #DavesCarIDService starting off with this bigass vintage Wyoming snowdrift: car is a 1949 or 50 Ford, and odd 2-tone paint suggest some sort of cop car or govt car
a-ha! Appears the Wyoming Highway Patrol had a unique "widow's peak" paint scheme in the 50s (like on this is 54 Chevy). Lusk WY + HiPo car suggest the snow drift was on US Highway 20
some detectives solve murders, I have more modest goals
*bee boop bzzz* 1971 or 72 Plymouth Roadrunner with 340 or 440 motor *boop bzz beep*
1963-66 Chevy C10 stepside, looks like bent frame tho
Both cars are 1914 Buicks; in front, a B-25 Touring, behind it is a B-37 Touring. I'd put the pic at closer to 1914 than 1920. Amazing pic, btw
not a lot to go on, but convertible looks like 1950 or 51 Pontiac
It's a 1937 Ford, so picture is definitely after 1934; I hope this isn't the cause of any uncomfortable family discussions
e.g., "sorry Dad, you were a bastard."
Probably the oldest family car pic ID request I've ever gotten. Best I can tell is a 1901 or 02 AutoCar, from the tiller steering age. Cars were still quite an exotic novelty then, looks like a prop in a photog studio.
Very hard to do a positive ID on cars of this age, probably 200+ makers in 1900-05, and less "models" than one-offs. I'm guessing pic was taken about then, people willing to pay have a photo of themselves in one of those newfangled fancy horseless carriages
per license plates, definitely England, and both cars are circa 1925 Rolls Royce (I believe a 20/25 and a Silver Ghost). And with a chauffeur nonetheless, lah-ti-dah
a fun thing about IDing cars is finding out I have followers who descended from Grapes of Wrath, and Downton Abbey
1931 Ford Model A Deluxe rumble seat coupe
your very Chuck Yeager-esque flyboy dad is atop a 1952 Mercury Monterey 4 door
1934 Ford, door indicates 4-door sedan; so basically the same make/model/year as the Bonnie & Clyde death car
Tough one here, I think a 1926-27 Pontiac or Oakland-Pontiac, but not 100% certain
That there is a 1950 Olds Rocket 88, so couldn't be the 40s unless the pic was taken in Oct-Dec 1949
closing out today's IDing with another Oldsmobile, this time a 1956 Olds 98, featuring some (I hope) playfully faux suburban mom-spanking
