Starting off today's #DavesCarIDService with this 1934 Chevy Master 3 window coupe, with its distinctive kinda-half-moon rear window.
Nope, not a Mopar product but a 1936 Chevy humpback sedan. Picture might have been Wayne County, but per license plate car was registered in Boone County Iowa and time was 1940

it's obviously a Harley-Davidson, specifically a 1917-18 Model J. Harley (as well as Indian) made a few different war models, the J had the unique dimpled tank for the V cylinders. This armored machine gun sidecar example is particularly badass
the 2 cars are 1917-18 Buick touring cars, the trucks I think are Liberty, but not really sure
I feel compelled to correct the date on this, car is a 1928-31 Cadillac or LaSalle, so definitely after 1920
I believe what we have here is a circa 1976 Datsun/Nissan minitruck hopped up with a serial killer shell camper
1973 Ford Country Sedan wagon for the not-made-of-money dad of 6 who is NOT going to pay for that overpriced Country Squire simulated woodgrain, and just the base 351 2 barrel I'm not a race car driver and DON'T try to sell me that gyp undercoating

Color? I don't care, whatever you have on the lot, I gotta get back to work
Rakish pompadoured Gramps is leaning on a 1953 Chevy Bel Air convertible
super fuzzy pic, but on general shape and proportions I'm gonna guess 1980ish Datsun 280Z or Toyota Celica GT
Every single vehicle in these pictures is a 1917-25 Ford Model T
Another big lapel era wagon; unlike the austere Ford up the thread, this 73-74 Caprice was for the stylish dad with big sideburns who was happy to spring for the big block 454 & swanky woodgrain (this car almost certainly had it before being customized)
yes and no; sad to see a yard of rusting old cars, but with 15 million made Ford Ts will never be a collector item, and it's nice to have a supply of original parts & hot rod bodies. If you're looking to get into old cars, can't beat the fun per $ of a T.
1955 Pontiac 4 door, deli-sliced with some ghastly 1980s-90s wheels
circa 1960 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud
1961 or 62 Ford Econoline; behind it is a 1960 Plymouth Savoy; and the kid in the stroller appears to be laughing that the kid with the BB gun shot his own eye out
First off, it's a 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda, not a '69 (pic may be 1969 but after the new '70s were out). The gent on the left is Hank Stram, and on right is Lamar Hunt. Good luck to the Chiefs today in breaking their 50 year Super Bowl jinx
also I have no idea where the car might be, but if found I bet a well-heeled KC Chiefs fan, sports or Mopar collector would pay ginormous money for it
a circa 1924 two horsepower Chevrolet touring
Car #1 is a 1926 or 27 Ford T roadster; Car #2 is a 1915 or 16 Ford T touring; I'll take a wild stab at the tractor as a 1920ish Mogul or Rumeley Oil Pull; no idea on the airplane
Renault had dealerships in the US from late 50s to mid 70s, the Dauphine was their VW-fighter. Like the VW had a rear engine, but unlike VW water cooled.
1960 or so Austin Princess, the compact car masquerading as a Rolls Royce
Looks like Grandpa and his fellow stylish Sigma Sigmas are motoring off to cheer on the Big Red crew in a 1912 or so Cadillac Model 30 touring. Dig those Cornell pennants. #RahRahSisBoomBah #23Skidoo #OhYouKid
1934 Hudson Eight coupe, and another reminder that people used to know how to dress
Concluding today with a 1948 Ferrari 166, aka the Red Barchetta. "Barchetta" is Italian for "little boat" and is prounounced bar-KET-ah, not bar-CHET-a as in the Rush song; but in memory to the late great Neil Peart, let's let it slide. #RIP
