Quite a backlog of #DavesCarIDService requests, so time to get to work: dapper Gramps is standing in front of an equally dapper 1933 Ford Model 40 Deluxe roadster with the swanky optional dual sidemount spare tires
These lovely gals are gracing a 1939 DeSoto S-6
Tough one, but it's definitely later than the 1930s... either a 1942 Packard Clipper or a 1946-7 Packard, with swan hood ornament
A great picture, but afraid I am stumped here. Never have seen this grille, and the stanchion headlight mounts are unique. I suspect a circa 1928-32 European model. Any Euro car buffs willing to chime in with an opinion?
These Jazz Age beach boys & girls are frolicking at the shore with a 1928-29 Ford Model A roadster
Flash forward 30 years or so to another group of Beach Boys, and what hot rodders did to those early Ford roadsters: L-R a 30/31 A, a 32, and (probably) another 32. All are channeled, nearest with Cadillac V8
Quick reminder: if you want a car ID'd, please hashtag #DavesCarIDService or otherwise I can't keep track
Looks like a whole Scout troop inside this circa 1924 Studebaker Big 6 7-passenger touring
tough call here, but I'm saying the Jensens drove a circa 1928 Chevy sedan
this odd duck is a circa 1970 Citroen DS station wagon, modified with fender skirts and 1959 Cadillac bullet taillight lenses
damn right it's a sweet car, a 1955 Chevy Bel Air
"Olie" looks like he had a blast rolling this 1933-34 Ford 5 window coupe
Lotta Fords today (I'm not complaining), this one a 30-31 sedan. And thank Grandpa for his service
1. 1929 Buick
2. circa 1936 Volvo
3. 1954 Packard
1951 Ford Custom Deluxe 4 door sedan, and that trio's rockabilly look is simply *chef's kiss*

1938 Ford pickup, with its unfortunate ugly duckling grille, which amazingly turns into a beautiful swan when narrowed and put on a hot rod
1935 LaSalle convertible, which I guess might have been a midlife crisis car during the FDR administration
1957 Chevy station wagon, 6 cylinder "stovebolt" engine
correction, not a wagon, but likely a 4 door sedan
not a lot to go on here, but cowl & wildshield are consistent with a 1921 Marmon. And the lovely Miss Daniels was the bee's knees, 23-skidoo
despite the fuzzy video I'm saying June Carter Cash is in front of a 1925-26 Chevy touring
1961-63 Ford Thunderbird, radically customized with chopped top, sail panels, and 70s era square headlights (also a 70s era Corvette badge on the hood)
eesh, left row is 64 Chevy, 59 Dodge, 64 Ford, 56ish Ford pickup, ?, ?, 53 Chevy, 57 Ford;

right row is 56 Chrysler, 64 Chevy, 59 Ford, 62 Olds, 57 Buick, 57 Buick, and beyond that I'm tapping out
1974-ish Lancia Stratos Stradale by Bertone
a very fetching 1960 Chevy El Camino
1949 or 50 Lincoln convertible, and given the date it would have to be one of the first 1949s off the assembly line
Gramps is rightfully proud of his 1938 Pontiac Deluxe
Frankenstein-ed 1948-53 Chevy pickup powered by a small block Chevy with a GMC 4-71 blower, and you thought wrong
1935 or 36 Chevy pickup and Dave reminds you not to photograph and drive
This one was tough, though at first 49-51 Ford but antenna is on wrong side; I'm going with 1952-ish Kaiser Traveller
Left is a 1942 Packard 180 (the script says 'One Eighty'), a hell of a car to use as a taxi. Left is tough one, best I can tell is 1937 Dodge
most likely the same car, a 1971 Buick Estate Wagon
Concluding today's session with what I think is the same car that led off, a 1933 Ford Model 40 roadster; the vehicle in the distance is a 1917-25 Ford Model TT panel truck.
