Starting off today's #DavesCarIDService with a beautiful couple in beautiful clothes in front of an equally beautiful 1956 Studebaker Power Hawk (no relation)
These lovebirds are in the back seat of a 1968 Chevy Chevelle coupe. The only way to distinguish a 1968 from 1969 at this angle is the lack of front seat headrests.
I know I ID'd this one yesterday, but wanted to keep the Valentine's weekend love theme going: 1946 or 47 Pontiac
and a bonus pic of my own beloved parents in front of Hawkdad's 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Sunliner and Hawkgrampa's corn cribs. If the truth were known, many of you would learn that an automobile loomed large in the story of your conception.
These lovebirds apparently shared a love for speed: pretty sure this is a 1950-57 Jaguar XK120 or XK140, although with customized front fender wheel wells. Predecessors of the XKE, the numbers on XK120 & XK140 touted the claimed top speed
I love cars and I love love. These second honeymooners are at the beach in their 1930 Ford Model A roadster.
Today's car ID thread should come with a wokka-chikka guitar soundtrack
quick clarification on the previous car, it's a 1930 Ford A Deluxe Roadster, as I can see the step plate for the rumble seat. One theory of the term "rumble seat" is b/c it where couples necked. Probably not true, but in England it's called a "dickie seat," so, hey
1946-47 Dodge pickup, but I'm sure you and your sweetie already knew that.
I think Valentine's covers both romantic love and grandparental love. Granny and Pawpaw had a 1972 Chevy Impala, and what could be anything from a 1961 to 66 Chevy C10 pickup
just spitballing here, and probably wrong (I cheerfully welcome corrections) but I'm guessing some sorta 1923-26 Packard. The star of this great photo is matinee idol Great Gramps, looking like a young Michael Corleone exiled in Italy
before you start responding with your "Model T?" wild guesses, this car is pretty unique, a dual cowl phaeton or optional rear window touring, with long hub wood wheels, and bead-edged doors with rounded bottoms. Likely an obscure make.
I'll await confirmation from my female followers, but I'd guess if you were a Prohibition-era flapper you would find Great Grandpa Nardi an irresistible bad boy
These lovely newlyweds are with what I think is a 1956 Studebaker Champion, but the side trim seems off
1931 Chevy coupe (and a reminder please hashtag your request #DavesCarIDService to make sure I see it). The front fender rust says this was post-Prohibition, although those fun-loving smiles say the Grandparents didn't strictly obey dry laws anyhow
That concludes today's episode. I normally address your requests in chronological order, but today seemed a good one to focus on cars as a setting for romance.
PS: I hope this has inspired you, like me, to take your significant other for a romantic car cruise today. If you see this car driving around Austin, Please Do Not Disturb.
