Hurry down to #DavesCarIDService for unbeatable photo ID bargains on your family's pre-owned creampuffs. We will not be undersold!
Let's kick today off with Dad's impressive stable of 1960s muscle, which included (1-2) 1962 Pontiac Grand Prix, (3) 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1, and (4) 1966 Chevy Chevelle SS rocking Radir 5 spokes, with a modest little 61-65 Chevy Nova sedan behind it.
Oooh, me likey this 1950 Mercury Monterey coupe. Don't often see 49-51 Mercs in stock condition, as they are considered the ultimate material for a chopped & dropped custom lead sled.
Yipes! The hero here is a circa 1925 Dodge Brothers RPU tow truck, and it appears (tho not 100% certain) Grandpa's harrowing ordeal happened in a circa 1923 Nash.
Another reminder to please add the #DavesCarIDService hashtag to your ID requests. Yep, Maxwells were very common and the immediate predecessor to Chrysler. Jack Benny's Maxwell (voiced by Mel Blanc) was a long running gag on his radio show.
Love me some vintage Sioux City images; pic 1 has (L-R) 46-48 Plymouth, (I think) 38 Buick, 41 Chevy, and 46-48 Chevy; pic 2 has (L-R) 1940 Plymouth and 1949-50 Pontiac Streamliner.
By the way, Emmet's Tavern was next to the stockyards and long regarded as one of the roughest bars in town, with a clientele of slaughterhouse workers, truck drivers, and cowboys. Note the "Heidel Brau" sign, which was brewed in Sioux City.
Dad says "sun's out, guns out" next to a very swanky 1957 Pontiac Chieftain 2 door hardtop.
Car here is a 1933-34 Plymouth or Dodge sedan, and I think I'll pass on the Thanksgiving owl.
This is a tough one, I'm going to venture a circa 1947 Morris 8 tourer, but not with a high level of confidence. I invite UK/Euro car experts to chime in on this.
A lot of Mid Century Modern suburbanism happening here, including a 1960 Oldsmobile station wagon.
From the Alaska plates, I can tell you it was taken in either 1968 or 69; behind the proto-Jason Statham dude is a 1966 Chevy Nova, and to the left a 1961-62 Buick Skylark and 1961 Chevy C-10 pickup.
Yes ma'am, that would be a 1954 Cadillac Series 62 sedan, and the fellow in the pic exudes vintage Miami mobster cool.
Jimmy and Lavon went off in style in a brand new 1948 Hudson Commodore sedan. Pic 2 has a 1941 Ford or Mercury coupe, and a 1939 Ford sedan.
Dad won Mom's heart with a 1936 Chevy sedan; note the "necker knob" on steering wheel, allowing one-hand steering and freeing Dad to cuddle Mom close.
*Necker knobs (also known as "Brodie knobs" or "suicide knobs") were a must-have for fashionable postwar auto accessories.
Quite a fish for a small fry, and the car reflected in the window is a 1950 Ford.
1968-70 Dodge Charger, customized in a style technically referred to as "murdered out"
EFI manifold, so I'm guessing 88-97 heavy duty pickup, probably F-250. At that point they were calling them "5.8 Liter" rather than 351
A trio of 1940 Pontiacs are being borne into Eufala by a 1940 GMC truck.
Mort Sahl! Dodo Greene! Marty Rubenstein! Charcoal Fired Steaks! And I believe a circa 1958 Berkeley.
Awesome pic - this wide eyed nino is on the bumper of a 1930 Ford Model A Tudor. Note the right hand steering; prior to WW2 Argentines drove on the left, British style, and late switched to US style driving on the right.
Queen Annette and her Royal Grandma survey their realm in front of a 1953 Dodge Coronet.
I spy a 65 Ford Galaxie on left; on right a 1960 Ford Galaxie 2 dr sedan; then a 1964 Pontiac station wagon. Last one I believe is a 66-67 Ford sedan.
All old cars are interesting to me, but I'd have to spend all day deciphering this visual overload. I'll just note there's a circa 1920 Buick roadster 2nd from right, nearest row.
Not much to go on here, but looks like 1955 Plymouth Savoy.
The happy couple here is with a 1937 Chevy.
1946-48 Lincoln Continental coupe, and sadly it appears the original flathead V12 has been swapped out for a modern motor.
The mighty Dagmars of a 1955 Cadillac Series 62.
Grandpa's looking a little overwhelmed by babies, with a foot on the bumper of a 1933 Chevy.
This swanky twosome is on the bumper of a 1928-29 Ford Model A.
Wish there was a little more focus on this pic of a double-date, which features a 1920-24 Ford Model T Tudor.
looks like the stork arrived in a 1939 Plymouth sedan.
I'm afraid that's it for today, back with more car IDs soon. Thanks for indulging my feeble attempt to un-crappify Twitter, and I hope it encourages you to do the same. Happy motoring!

Today’s episode of #DavesCarIDService is brought to you by Dogville Tire Center. Don’t lose your best gal to a flat, call Dogville Tire, stat!
From the 1930 epic "The Big Dog House," which I regard as the Citizen Kane of talking dog prison melodramas. During the 1930s Pete Smith produced a whole series of "barkies" for MGM featuring trained dogs, often parodying hit movies of the time.

Today's kickoff is a nice Allard-influenced hot rod, a 1932 Ford roadster, channeled, sectioned grille, Duval windshield, and the 2 intakes popping up through hood suggest hopped up flathead. Bozeman probably had a few of these in 1952.

Gotta bookmark this excuse to use the next time I accidentally crash into a liquor store
"I accidentally drove and/or helicoptered to a 3 star Michelin restaurant in Napa for my friend's crucial once-in-a-lifetime 50th birthday party while making it illegal to open your taco stand" is some next level Animal Farm
I'm tempted to compare him to a televangelist who got caught with a prostitute, but a televangelist who got caught with a prostitute can't throw you in jail for stopping sending him payments

Stop trying to make "Fleets" happen
Twitter should just accept the fact that Instagram and TikTok are where people go to share joyous visual self expression, and Twitter is for malignant assholes to scream lunatic conspiracy theories
YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok is where nobodies go to become millionaires, Twitter is where millionaires go to become nobodies
