Hey all you Weird-Ohs, it's time for #DavesCarIDService

*Ed "Big Daddy" Roth was the king of adolescent t-shirt hot rod monsters in the 60s (and the greatest artist of the 20th Century IMO), but he had competitors. Stanley Mouse for one, and Bill Campbell who designed the "Weird-Ohs" plastic model line for Hawk.

Before commencing to the IDs, please agree to our Terms of Service guidelines.

Young Dad here is perfecting his gangsta lean from a 1937 Chevy sedan. Quick ID tip: 1937-38 Chevys had a characteristic diagonal crease along the side that makes them fairly easy to ID.

This little fella appeared with different cars in a previous ID thread, also beaming with smiles. Here he's with a 1930 Ford Model A, and a brand new one judging by the 1930 Wisconsin plate.

Here is Smiley yet again 6 years later with his kid brother, but I suspect it's the same 1930 Ford Model A sedan. Never seen such a happy kid.

Here comes happy lil' Gramps beaming that smile again on the running board of a 1920-22 Willys-Knight sedan.

Now here are the sourpusses from old photos we know and love, with the straw boater guy braced for spin with car full of back seat drivers in his circa 1911 E-M-F (Everitt-Metzger-Flanders, predecessor of Studebaker) touring.

I am by no means a Russian auto expert but I think the car here is an 80s Lada Vaz. The flywheel contraption appears to be a hand crank corn sheller.

*Here's an example of an old timey box corn sheller; farmers would save their best ears from a crop and used this device to shell off kernels for next year's seed corn. My beloved (and equally OCD) Hawkdad had a collection of over 100 of these things of different designs.

Not a car but still kinda cool. Research reveals they still have dirt track and motocross racing at the Mills County Fairgrounds, and you can also forget your troubles at the I-29 Dragway & Race Course in nearby Pacific Junction.

Citcar! These were made 1974-77 in Florida by Sebring-Vanguard, who decided that the OPEC oil crisis was a golden opportunity to move from the golf cart biz into the death trap electric microcar biz. This one is boxed in by two 57 Cadillacs.

*for readers of my old blog, you may remember it as the Pelosi GTxi SS/RT Sport Edition

I will only add that it's a Buick Model 10, stripped of its headlights. Quite the hot seller at the time, but within a year or two the Ford Model T lapped the field saleswise and had no serious market share competition until the 1920s.

This one (h/t @IRA_Darth_Aggie) was a bit of a struggle. It's not the Cushman scooter used by Airborne paratroopers in WW2, but engine is definitely Cushman; I'd say mid-late 40s Cushman Eagle that these GIs stripped down for a goofy fun project.

*Here's a step-thru WW2 Cushman Model 53 (made in Lincoln NE), and the British equivalent Welbike; Made for quick movement after landing. Not Steve McQueen Great Escape cool, but got the job done. #3 is the type of non-military Cushman I think is in the ID photo

Leather jacket Wild One Gam-Gam is off to terrorize the squares on her 1930-32 Harley-Davidson VL hog with accessory rear handle grab seat, and Porch Kid looks steamed that he's not going along.

Little Sylvia practices her urban camouflage technique near a 1920-ish Ford Model TT furniture truck.

Neat photo, but soft focus/ contrast is giving me trouble on foreground car (I think a 1939 Buick coupe) and chrome-y heap across street (pretty sure a 1942 Pontiac Torpedo). Car to rear right is def a 1940 Chevy, and I need that necktie.

License plate on right pic is 1919 Iowa; assuming all pics were about the same time the car in bottom pics on left is indeed a 1917-19 Ford T roadster. The car in the other pics is a stumper; *maybe* an Oakland but I need more research.

Gramps here is with a 1940 Buick Super sedan.

These clean cut lettermen look like they're ready to grab their ukuleles and serenade some sorority sisters. Car is a very tough call, but fender, headlight & hood appear consistent with circa 1925 Buick.

https://twitter.com/SusanMcClintock/status/1370747159776165891

Afraid this one is another stumper; the cowl lights are Model T-style Edmund & Jones kerosene lamps, but not a Model T. If I had to guess I'd say 1914 or so Buick Model B 25, but not really sure.

That's it for today, I've got an appointment to veg out on the couch for the Barrett-Jackson Auction. Back tomorrow for more IDs. Happy Motoring!
