Today's #DavesCarIDService kicks off with this gem. Car is a 1930-31 Buick, and I believe the cigar-chomping gent in the white mechanic's overalls is cleaning the oil tube to the main bearings
Hopefully this diagram of a Marquette engine will illustrate the part, Buick was similar but larger 
It was the style of the time, like onion belts
Example: here is a circa 1930 official Chevrolet mechanic's jacket (I know some folks who collect vintage workwear)
Nah, it's a very early (circa 1923) Ford Model T coupe. The "I. O. O. F." on the building stands for International Order of Odd Fellows," a fine fraternal organization which I plan to join someday
The Odd Fellows started as a UK association for men in trades (like shipbuilding) that took them to job sites away from home for long periods; local Odd Fellow clubs provided room and board and hangout space.
in the US, Odd Fellow lodges provided same thing, and were popular with musicians and Vaudeville performers. They had their own kinda spooky Masonic-like symbology, with skulls and whatnot
I believe it's a circa 1916 Harley Model J, and the pic is fantastic
scratch that, it's probably an earlier 1914-ish Harley Model 10 E or F
1961 Ford Consul Capri sporting Goodyear illuminated tires (or tyres, as this is probably England), one of those 1960 things-of-the-future that never took off. And may I say the sexy bird is *chef's kiss*
1972 Dodge Charger
Tractor is a Ford 8N, and tho fuzzy the car on the left is a 1937 Ford
I stand corrected. I'm not infallible, and always appreciate a hand in keeping the IDs as accurate as possible
1935 Ford 5 window coupe; I own a 3 window version of same
1956 Chevy Bel Air 4 door hardtop. As a general rule 4 door cars are less valuable than 2 door equivalents, but 4 door hardtops can be more valuable than 2 door sedans
Fiberglass "Fad T" T-bucket, probably built mid 70s-mid 80s. There were many companies in that era that sold these as inexpensive DIY kits.
I believe a circa 1960 Mercedes 220 Ponton sedan
These grab-ass hot rod clown reunion reenactors are indeed with a 1941 Willys Americar coupe, done up 1960s Gasser style with 1940 Ford headlight bezels
The "Gasser" coupe drag racing class was wildly popular in the 60s, and 33-42 Willys were a popular choice due to their compact light weight. These cars were born to be sold as little old lady cars but many ended up a 170mph drag strip monsters.
*obviously not stock; Gasser were nose-up, straight axle, stuffed with blown and/or injected Hemis and other big block engines etc. The class basically died with the emergence of Funny Cars. My fave is the Stone Woods & Cook 'Swindler A' Willys
In fact, so many were turned into drag race cars that it's quite rare to see one in stock condition. Had the same flathead 4 banger used in the beloved WW2 Willys Jeep.
1973 or 74 Caddy Eldorado convertible with a 1975 Ford Country Squire in the garage, and MacGrandpa looks astonished by the vast acreage of an American automobile
This is a tough call, but I'm going to venture that it's a circa 1918 Roamer touring. That gate lifting contraption is kind of amazing.
1930-31 Ford Model A Tudor sedan
Top is I'm assuming a custom-made glass boat fashioned to look like its 1959 Chevy Impala tow car; bottom is 1959ish Marlin Marine Glass Slipper. I'm not a boat guy but I'd drive the shit out of both those rigs
1953 Pontiac
I want to say circa 1950 MG TD, but the hood louvers seem off. Maybe I can get an assist from a Brit sports car aficionado
Closing out today's #DavesCarIDService with this fertile couple who somehow squeezed their whole brood into a 1961-63 Ford Falcon.
I'll try to catch up more tomorrow. Remember to hashtag your ID request; I prefer old family pics to street photos and such
Before starting a new car ID thread today, a couple corrections from yesterday: first, a ht to @shahand for setting me straight on a car I thought was an early postwar MG T series
Second, ht to @Harry_Bergeron for a this correction. In my defense I was somewhat distracted by the photo model's shapely gams
