Santa Dave is on the way to stuff your stockings with some last minute gifts from #DavesCarIDService

yessir, Pops & friends were piling on a 1938 Chevy heavy duty truck (1 ton or higher).

needed to research this one a bit; what you have there is a VW Type 2 utility truck, and if really diesel it's a 1981-85, and picture is almost certainly in Brazil. The earlier air cooled versions of these are very collectible.

*old school air cooled VWs basically disappeared from US showrooms after 1977, but continued to be made in Mexico and Brazil for years afterwards. I was surprised to learn there was a Brazil-only water cooled diesel option, and this is apparently one of them

further research suggests the license plate above is Roraima state. I'm assuming this charming pic is also Brazil in same era; I think car on left is 1982ish Fiat Strada, one on the right with no plate is stumping me, wild is guess 1982ish Ford Falcon XE.

I don't want to get a reputation as a neighborhood snoop, but that's a very fetching 1954 Mercury Monterrey in their driveway.

Not much to go on here, but wing window and door shape suggest 1969-72 AMC Ambassador. And you shouldn't be so modest about your bro's baseball exploits, not many of us can say we hit a homer in the major leagues.

*via Wikipedia:

Sadly, the photo is too grainy and cars too obscured for me to give you more than a haphazard guess here...

...but this one is definitely a 1917-23 Ford Model T touring, and it's not the same car as in the previous photo.

Lordy I about blew out my synapses trying to ID this one, thanks to the sloped side windows and very unusual 3-bead beltline (the embossed line below window). After copious research, I can say confidently it's a 1929 Studebaker Victoria sedan.

I believe the object of your adolescent desire was a circa 1960 Mercedes Benz 300D Adenauer.

How great is this pic (forwarded a couple of folks)? The Say Hey Kid is taking a swing in front of a 1951 Pontiac Chieftain, with a 51-52 Chrysler Imperial peeking in on right.

These folk were riding in high style (for the time) in a 1915-16 Cadillac 7 passenger touring, with one passenger over the limit.

Looks like your frugal parents were trying to squeeze every last mile out of their 1930-31 Ford Model A Tudor.

This whorehouse 1964 Studebaker Lark Daytona make for a striking landscape photo

1939 Buick Coupe street rod with Chevy rallye wheels, and I can fairly assume a small block Chevy engine.

RIP to your mom, and the sedan here is a 1940 Chevy so pic is from October 1939 or later.

A good Samaritan forwarded this to me, and I'm sure the far distant car is a 1930-31 Ford A Tudor. Next to it I'm almost certain is a 1934-36 Chrysler or DeSoto Airflow. I'd date it circa 1935 (US cars were very common in Skandinavia then).

Grampa's work truck was a 1956 Ford F350 flatbed.

Oh yah, dey're rollin' down Water Street in a couple of 1947-48 Buick convertibles. white license plate indicates year is more likely 1947-48; 1949 was black plate (although in 1950 they were white again).

Pic is a little later than you think, car here is 1971 Plymouth Sport Fury station wagon (ID made possible by hubcaps).

phew! Calling it a day on the car IDs, I'll back for more after a Christmas break.
