    Hi there, was going through some old pictures of my folks and came across these. Just wondered if someone can ID these cars.

    In the lower photo, based on the shape of the radiator badge I'd say it's a Dodge - the car on the right I'm sure is a Stude. in lieu of the shape of the headlamps, probably a '30 - '31.

    My best guess:



    Upper photo: Left to Right: '29 or '30 Model A (Ford), middle car looks same Vintage Chevy and '65 or '66 Mustang on the far right



    Bottom phot: Left car 1930 Dodge, Right car is definately 1931 Studebaker, but not the President model, which was Studebaker's best effort of the '30's, a really fine looking automobile. One in the pick would be like a standard coupe or sedan. Can't ID the truck in the background without seeing the front.

    You guys are the best! Thanks.



    BTW, just bought my nieces '65 Mustang (I know not a Hudson) for my son to restore. Got to start him out with something easy.

    The car on the left in the top photo is a 1926 or '27 Chrysler. the one with the red grille looks like a 1930 or '31 Dodge, and in the bottom photo the car on the left is a Dodge Senior Six.
    If you're stuck in a hole, stop digging.

    O.k., Geoff. I know for a fact you probably know 100X more than I do about cars, but I have to disagree with you on this one.



    The top photo, the silver car is NOT a Chrysler. '26 and '27 Chrysler's had a real pretty scallop at the back of the grill shell that met the hood and this car does not have that. I posted wrong to begin with, didn't mean Model A, meant '27 Ford. It's also slightly the wrong shape for a Chrysler.



    The red grilled car . . . you might be right, but the emblem looks like Chevrolet and the headlight bar looks Chevrolet as well.



    Prove me wrong! First post was a guess, maybe I should do some research . . .:D

    Top left car is definitely a Chrysler, probably 1928. I have a '27 that I recently restored. Only the Imperial model had the scallop.

    Very good. I knew I'd learn something in this thread! Geoff, I stand corrected.

    In the first photo, the car on the far right looks like a Thunderbird??? Maybe I'm wrong. But the second photo, I'm going to be looking for that headlight at swap-meets! What a cool headlight!:)
