Behind this dapper Mad Man and his elegant mother are a 1960 Pontiac, and behind it a 1955 or 56 Mercury, unable to tell due to blur

Not sure if he had a haircut like this in 1979 because he was military, punk rock, or just a nerd. Behind him is a 1970-77 Chevy Vega hatchback, across street is a 1974-77 Chevy Camaro and a 70-72 GM A body 2 door sedan (either Chevelle or LeMans)

Hope the garage has workman's comp for this chain-trusting grease monkey, working on the clutch of a 1921-22 Buick

Feel free to refresh your mom's memory that Grandpa's no-drive zone was a 1955 Chevy 210 (1 step down from Bel Air) 4 door sedan.

Delighted to help out an Iowa Law prof; the Grands' wedding car was a 1939 Packard sedan, made across town in Detroit, and I have to say pic 2 has a real Godfather I vibe.

It's never too early to train kids to be roofers. The pickup here is an early Ford Model T closed cab, 1913-15.

By gadfry, that's a 1931-36 Divco Twin Coach. I've seen them as milk trucks, but most notably as Helms Bakery trucks in old Los Angeles. First time I've seen one as an actual food truck, and in 1941 no less.

A dead-certain ID is rendered difficult by the missing grille, but I'm leaning very strongly 1910 Cadillac Model 30.

This gangster arrived at the hideout in a 1930-31 Ford Model A roadster.

Edna's just chillin' in front of her brand new 1950 Plymouth. At least I assume her name is Edna.

MIL & her dad are leaning on a 1950-51 Dodge Coronet, behind it is a 1939 Chrysler Royal. Truck in #2 is a 1951ish White 3000. Light colored sedan in #3 I think 1940 Chevy Special Deluxe, but not 100% sure.

*correction: car in #1 is a 1938 Chrysler Royal.

And if you've been waiting more than a month for an ID, feel free to ping me again. Sometimes requests get lost in my mentions.

I loves me some vintage family album car photos, but now it's time to decipher some street & wilderness finds - starting with our 2nd 1960 Pontiac of the thread, this one a Bonneville convertible with chrome big rim Detroit steelies.

A very scenic 1941 Oldsmobile coupe in an Arizona Highways-worthy nature shot. As for how it got there, your guess is as good as mine.

1955 Ford F100, and that's some really Tweety Bird yellow right there.

Another gaudily colored 1955 Ford, this one a Fairlane convertible with Continental kit rear spare, probably headed to the Enchantment Under the Sea dance at Hill Valley High

1948-50 Dodge B Series pickup; they didn't come as 4wd, so was done as a garage project. One hopes with Dana axles like its big brother Power Wagon.

This, believe it or not, is a circa 1920 REO Speed Wagon, after ridin' 100 years of storms out in the Yukon. Note remnants of its solid wood chassis, which in another century or so will dissolve into the earth from which it came.

yessir, grille insert from a 1965 Chrysler 300. Very similar to the original Green Hornet Black Beauty, a 1966 Chrysler Imperial customized by George Barris

I'm gonna have to punt this Jeep wagon-like SUV in Iceland to ID crowd sourcing. Neat item though.

Gotta call a lid on the IDs for today. If you dig this content, I invite you to give a test drive to my super duper deluxe model at Substack. New issue coming shortly!

See you here next weekend for more car ID fun-- until then, happy motoring!
