Don't want to discount Mr McKenzie's skill, but pretty sure these are Maytag (yep the washing machine people) toy racers, with customized bodies and stretched frames. If I'm right, the earliest the pics are is 1934. #DavesCarIDService
*between 1934 and 1941 Maytag made these very exclusive toy racers in Newton Iowa, powered by a gasoline washing machine engine. Not surprisingly these are hella rare; not many people had the money to buy their kid such a fancy toy during the Depression. Image
yes, you heard that right: a *gasoline* washing machine engine. Maytag made 1 and 2 cylinder versions. Prior to rural electrification, these were popular with farm families. My grandma had one, and my dad collected a few. ImageImage

62nd anniversary of The Day The Music Died. Image
Some shots from that final show at the Surf Ballroom. That's Waylon Jennings playing bass for both Buddy Holly and Richie Valens. He didn't ride on the plane because he lost a coin flip. ImageImageImage
correction - it was Buddy Holly's guitarist Tommy Allsup who lost the plane ride coin flip to Richie Valens; Waylon Jennings reluctantly gave up his seat on the plane to JR "The Big Bopper" Richardson because Richardson had the flu.

Cable news networks in the post-Trump era are going to be like Bette Davis and Joan Crawford in Whatever Happened To Baby Jane
You don't think I remember anything, do you? There are a whole lot of things I remember. And you never paid for this house. Baby Jane Blitzer made the money that paid for this house, that's who!
EXT decrepit Victorian mansion on hill. Camera pans rusty cobwebbed gate with tarnished sign reading "Chyron Manor." Gate opens creakily, camera approaches up the driveway past abandoned antique satellite vans, to the mansion's single illuminated window.

Today's bang-up edition of #DavesCarIDService is brought to you by Kenner SSP Smashup Derby!

Yes kids, in the Wild West of 1970s danger toys, nobody catered to young America's love of car crashes like Kenner. Just rip the T-strip and enjoy the laws of physics! (Until you ruin Mom's nice linoleum or accidentally get your sister's hair caught in the gyro wheel)
What kind of HOA *stops* you from removing a junk car from your property? Sign me up! Contrary to your conjecture, this noble relic appears to be a 1927-28 Nash Standard 6 sedan.

The name's Burge. And I'm a car dick. #DavesCarIDService Image
This is of course Humphrey Bogart as gumshoe Philip Marlowe in The Big Sleep (1946), and car is a 1938 Plymouth Deluxe coupe; "B" sticker is a WW2 gas ration stamp.

Before commencing today's IDs, another gentle reminder to please follow the car ID request guidelines: Image
Let's kickoff today's batch with this terrific shot; car here is a 1932 Buick. Lake Geneva was a popular hot weather getaway spot for high roller Chicago swells and mobsters, including Al Capone who owned a spot there about the time of this photo.
