Name those cars.
« on: May 31, 2015, 11:18:37 AM »
Nothing to do with WW1 but I have this old and fuzzy photo of the main street of the town where I was raised. I am trying to date this photo but the only things to go by are the cars, can anyone help by identifying the cars.

Can't help with identifying make and model of the cars, but styling is mid 1930s for the red soft-top facing the camera and the sedan on the left showing it's rump.

mid 30s is a good idea, although the one all the way to the left could be as late as 1940 give or take as it looks a bit bulkier ad it has those fenders. and the one far back is later than the 2 to the right in the foreground.my guess late 30s to early 40s.

Thanks Tony and Scott for your input, I was on the right track thinking late 30's early 40's.
