pile in for another Sunday drive with #DavesCarIDService 
Boy howdy, this is now one of my all time favorite ID requests, from the hometown of Herbert Hoover. Pictured here is a 1932 Ford Model 18 5 window coupe lowboy hot rod, with ~8" channel & 3" chop. The farm girl fender candy is *chef's kiss*
I'd also note that it looks like the chop was fairly fresh, and the builder had yet to complete the chop on the door window frames. This is exactly the kind of car I dream about finding hibernating in a barn somewhere.
Another chopped barnyard custom, this one a 1954 Chevy Bel Air, which looks like it may also be set up for Packard boomerang tail lights. 1954 is the last model year car worth chopping, IMHO
*pre 1955, cars were pretty bulbous with high beltlines and a nice top chop could really improve the look. After, cars kinda came low and chopped from the factory. And here are those remarkable 56 Packard tail lights I mentioned.
This lovely gal is standing in front of a 1931 Hudson 8; to the right I believe is a 1927 Chevy, but not 100% sure. I would actually date pic to 1934, as those are 1934 Wisconsin plates.
Mystery solved: the car here is a 1957-59 Fiat 1200 Spider.
I think I ID'd this before, but mom is in a 1917-18 Packard touring, son is in a Gendron pedal car of similar vintage.
1957-59 BMW Isetta 600. Believe it or not, this is the JUMBO model of Isetta with 4 seats, the Isetta 300 was a two seater. Front door was based on a refrigerator.
Looks like they're setting up quite a picnic spread by this 1959-60 Rambler American station wagon.
It is indeed, a '72 AMC Hornet Pro Stock next to a similar '72 Murder Gremlin. Despite the fun made of AMC cars, the AMC 390 V8 was surprisingly stout and successful at the drags.
kinda fuzzy, but I venture it's a 1956 Dodge Coronet sedan.
Yep, a circa 1923 Ford Model T roadster pickup, doing duty for Pacific Gas & Electric. T's were designed for super crappy roads, and navigating the rocks in one is probably easier than it'd be with a 2020 Mustang.
Yep, sure did, the 1980-89 VW Rabbit pickup. Not a true pickup truck with separated cab & bed, but what the Aussies would call a ute.
Left is a 1942 Buick Sedanette, cop car on right is 1941 Ford Fordor.
Hey kid! Put down the damn paddleball game, you could scratch the paint on a 1957 Chevy Bel Air sedan.
Holy moly, that there's a 1929 REO B2 "Flying Cloud" coupe. Love the hood louvers on these.
REO is best known for their Speedwagon trucks, but they also produced some dandy cars. Nicest one I've ever seen was this 1932 REO Royale Cabriolet at the Eyes On Design show at the Edsel Ford estate near Detroit.
circa 1955 Bentley R Type cabriolet
1955 DeSoto Fireflite. Yep, it's got a Hemi! In yesterday's ID thread you can see the grille instert from one of these used as a handsome bar ornament.
1961 Pontiac Tempest, part of GM's early 60s wave of small engine compact cars (Chevy Corvair, Chevy II/Nova, Buick Skylark, Olds F85) designed to battle increasingly popular imports.
Base engine in the Tempest was the 195 ci "Trophy 4" slant 4, basically a Pontiac 389 V8 with one cylinder bank sawed off.
Yipes, this is a real puzzler. I guess I'm going with a circa 1923 Durant sedan, due to the unusual 5 bolt rim mount steel wheels. Billy Durant was one of GM's founders but was later fired, and bought up Locomobile to create Durant/Star.
1932 Buick coupe.
That's a '51 Chrysler Windsor Gramps is washing in front of his new 2 car garage with still-to-be-poured driveway. I'm sort of intrigued by the by the curious markings on the car, like bumper stripes and "DIM"
Could either be a 1942 or 1946 Chevy coupe.
This dapper duo is with a 1953 Pontiac Chieftain.
Fantastic photo here, which I assume is somewhere in Quebec. Vehicle is a circa 1960 Willys Jeep sedan delivery.
Great Gramps is emerging a 1942 Mercury sedan which luckily, for ID purposes, has distinctive double side trim.
Cool Daddy-O had an MG TD to match his jaunty red beret.
That's it for today's batch, I've got some old cars of my own that need some exercise.
Leaving you with a quick reminder: wherever you're headed, you'll go farther when you fill your tank with hope instead of anger.
