Welcome to #DavesCarIDService Saturday Cavalcade of Car ID Bargains! 
quick reminders:
If you want a car ID'd please use the hashtag.
I try to answer requests in chronological order, but give priority to your super-bitchin' vintage family photos and mysterious junkpiles; found-on-internet photos and "bet this one stumps you" not so much.

Let's kick off today with these smooth gangsters styling & profiling on a 1936 Buick Special sedan.
Here's a Buick 8 sedan from the previous model year, 1935; however not a stock hood ornament, looks like owner swiped it from a Packard (these are referred to as "donut chasers")
It's a Buick triple spin, with this 1915 Buick Model D pickup. Yes, in its early days Buick produced trucks, an quite a few for the WW1 effort.
1930 Ford Model A slant windshield Victoria. A bit of an easy ID for me, but pretty rare & desirable among Model As. First enclosed Ford with no visor and slant windshield. Only way to tell it's 1930 vs 31 is lack of dimple on firewall.
I would add that a lot of hot rod guys would pay good money for the body, probably $5k or so. It looks in reasonably good shape for a stock restoration, but cost to do so would be way above value of car.
Foreground car is easy, 1930 Ford Model A Deluxe rumble seat roadster; other one is tricky, I think a circa 1924 Packard 6 sedan but not 100% sure. Love to see Model A roadsters with side curtains on; one of the first applications of clear plastics.
Too fuzzy for a definitive ID on the pickup, but I think a 30-31 Ford Model AA with handmade bed. Cool photo tho.
Yipes, a real challenge here, but I suspect a circa 1975 Toyota Celica coupe. Other guesses, as always, are welcome.
From the visor, rear window, and small bit of grill, I suspect this brood of Okie urchins is in front of a 46-48 Ford.
Grandpa blew his lotto windfall and your inheritance on a 1940 Buick Series 90 Limousine.
Story holds up, nothing in the video indicates later than 1950.
1927 Ford Model T coupe, wedge-channeled, running a small block Chevy motor. Kind of an homage to Steve Scott's "Uncertain T" 1960's show car
The Uncertain T was one of the most delightfully wacky show rods of the 60s, and a popular model kit for the glue-sniffing set.
I get this iconic photo submitted frequently, it's a 1929 Chrysler Model 75 roadster.
The fading remains of an airbrushed 1967-69 Chevy G10 bongmobile / shaggin' wagon.
Inspiration for the creepiest car song of all time. Just press G10 on Hell's Jukebox
Gramps was certainly a GM company man, his car was a 1928-29 Buick coupe. And may I say this is a nice display of 1930-ish fashion.
On the left, he's with a 1949 Buick Super; on the right, 1963 Chevy Nova convertible from which some scofflaw snapped the antenna
The top car in this mangle of carmanity is a 1949-50 Ford Tudor; the other I believe is a 1953 Ford
Miss Hathaway commuted to the Commerce Bank of Beverly hills in a 1965 Dodge Coronet 500 convertible. Like all cars on Beverly Hillbillies, provided the Chrysler Motor Company.
Beats me, I'll make a wild stab at 1926 Duplex. This is not a contest to stump me, and there is no prize if you do it.
Louver pattern seems to indicate Gramps had a 1929-30 Chrysler or Dodge.
That's a Bingo on 1941 Chevy coupe.
#1 in this post apocalyptic tableau is a circa 1962 Benz 220; #2 is a circa 1953 Kaiser Manhattan; #3 is a 1939 Chevy.
1932-34 Ford Model B pickup, and somebody should call that poor guy a designated driver
Tow truck is an amalgam of junk parts, but cab is a 32-34 Ford B, radiator 28-29 Ford, sprint car header for a Chevy small block but engine is Ford A or B. Car behind is tough but I say 29-30 Hudson or Essex due to suicide doors.
Congrats on your successful safari to bag a circa 1960 Citroen 2CV (a/k/a "Deux Chevaux")
This Cold War curiosity is a circa 1958 GAZ Volga 21, what sufficed as the commies' answer to a 59 Caddy Coupe de Ville. Oddly enough, the second GAZ Volga ID request I've gotten in the last week.
A neat couple of pics. First one is definitely a 1930 Chevy Universal coupe, second is very hard to tell, but bumper and spiky bumper guard are consistent with 1937 Chevy.
1946-48 International KB2 pickup.
You don't see a 1954 DeSoto airport limousine every day, I guess unless you live at your house.
Great father & son shot here; pretty sure vehicle is 28-29 Ford Model A.
Not a kit car, but a 1950 or so Bentley Mark VI
Add another one to the sudden rash of Buicks today, this one is a 1937 Business Coupe.
Gramps took the whole gang out for a spin in his circa 1920 <air guitar> REO Speedwagon. Best I can tell, 1948 Idaho license plates.
A little blurry, but I'll say 1949-51 Chevy Fleetline 4 door.
1939-40 Plymouth pickup, can't really say on the hay loader.
A historic, red letter car identification thread with our second Kaiser Manhattan of the day, this one a 1951-53
Let's make it double historic with our second REO of the day. This one's not a Speedwagon, but a ~1909 Model E Runabout. "REO" stood for Ransom E. Olds, the same guy who founded Oldsmobile.
A proud 1928-29 Ford Model A roadster pickup, sadly condemned to whimsical display duty at a tchotchke shop
1928-29 Model As belong on the road, like this Tudor (L) and roadster (R)
I spy a 1965 Pontiac Catalina convertible.
found cars are OK, but what I really dig are your old family photos, like this one. This is a tough challenge, but I think it's a circa 1918 Oakland due to double oval rear window. (Oakland was the predecessor to Pontiac)
These swanky newlyweds are headed to their honeymoon in a 1955 Mercury.
A 1954-57 Mercedes 300 SL, with its ultra exotic (for the time) Bosch mechanical fuel injection system.
Fuel injection had been around for some time, but was the stuff of aircraft and race cars. I think the 1954 Mercedes 300 SL was the first production car to have it, but by 1957 it was an engine option for Chevy and Pontiac.
A 1948-50 Packard, and by the Taiwanese flag, I'm assuming it was owned by, or had something to do with, Chang Kai-shek.
Yeesh, gonna call it a day at #DavesCarIDService, as I'm largely caught up with requests to May 2. Back tomorrow for more car ID business.
By the way, my ID request pile inbox overfloweth, and at this rate I'll never get caught up. If it's all the same to you guys, I am going to mostly focus on the family pics because they are the most fun and tell the best stories.
*I will honor other car ID requests if the subject is cool or special, however.
