Classics from a car show - can you guess them?

[PALADIN85020]

I just spent a fun morning seeing classic cars at the annual 7th Avenue street fair in Phoenix. I took some photos, and let's see if you can identify these classics. Just knowing the marque is enough, but you get extra points if you also get the year.

Here we go:

Number one:

Number two:

Number three:

Number four:

Number five - I'm betting no one gets this one:

Number six:

Number seven:

Number eight:

Number nine:

Number ten:

Number 11:

Number 12:

Number 13:

Number 14:

Number 15:

Number 16 - the final classic:

I enjoyed my tour today; two of the cars shown are ones I've owned in the past, so that made it enjoyable to see them again. If you can guess them all, you get an (imaginary) blue ribbon for knowing your stuff!

Paladin; I beg to differ with you on the '33 Ford. I had one & the grill is different for a '34. Mine was a 2 door.

#9 1947 Lincoln Continental
#10 1948 Olds

Yes on all counts - did you peek?

By request, here's the story behind the Jimmy Durante picture. In 1960, the Ramo Wooldridge division of Thompson Ramo Woodldridge, a defense plant making top secret control systems for ICBMs, put up a series of posters designed to make their employees aware of their security responsibilities. This is one of those posters, featuring Jimmy Durante.

Not to argue, but the owner of this one claims it's a 1934 Ford. I'm no expert, but I hope the owner knows what he has...? This one is a "delivery sedan" according to the owner. Perhaps a different grill on this model?

Here are pictures of the complete car and the owner's tag:

When I was a kid my great Uncle George gave my mother a 1949 or '50 model of number 9.

We kids had a ball in that car--it seemed huge. I guess it was. We played Sherman tank in it.

Mother drove that thing like she was a bootlegger, eating up every road in town. She used to fishtail through parking lots, laughing her head off. She called it "doing the doublemint".

We kids thought it was great. When I was about ten or so, I started to figure out what a terrible driver she really was. She had the skill to drive the car, but was very inattentive and, as my father would say, had the guts of a kamikaze pilot. The foot feed had two positions--all the way up or all the way down! She weighed 100 pounds soaking wet and I can still remember her coming off the seat, standing on the brake pedal just to get the thing stopped.

Dad finally got the money to get her something a little safer, but she still drove like somebody was after her.

I have a picture or two of the car around somewhere.

Thanks for bringing up the memories, John!

#8 is a Packard. 37 I think.
#11 is a Chevy,1950.

 

[PALADIN85020]

#8 is a Packard. 37 I think.
#11 is a Chevy,1950.

#8 - A Packard, yes. Wrong year. Close, though!

#11 - It is indeed a 1950 Chevy. This is one of the two of these cars I've owned - the other one was #15, the 1965 Stingray.

[65kaiser]

ok then 1939

 

[Pilgrim]

1. A Model T, that could be any model year from 1908 thru 1912. It's impossible to tell from that pic. Whatever it is, the lights are not correct. They're not even Ford lights. I'm betting that looking at the firewall, that it's got a non original body.

2., A 25, 26, or 27 Model T. Again impossible to tell from that angle.

 

[PALADIN85020]

HERE ARE THE ANSWERS!

OK, I gotta leave the board now, so to alleviate any further anxiety over right or wrong answers, here's the book answers, as vouched for by the owners of the cars on their windshield tags:

1. 1912 Model T Ford
2. 1924 Model T Ford
3. 1939 Buick Roadmaster
4. 1934 Ford
5. 1937 Hudson Teraplane
6. 1938 Packard
7. 1940 Chevrolet
8. 1941 Packard
9. 1947 Lincoln Continental
10. 1948 Oldsmobile
11. 1950 Chevrolet
12. 1956 Chevrolet
13. 1957 Chevrolet
14. 1961 Cadillac Fleetwood
15. 1965 Corvette Stingray
16. The inimitable Jimmy Durante "The Schnoz"

To all a good night. It's been fun!

# 3 is a 1939 Buick. Perhaps the owner wrote the "9" so that it looked like a "4".
