# 1 is correct, 29 Ford (Model A) had wire wheels so it's not that although it looks like a Model A from that angle. # 3 no idea, # 4 is a 73-77 Chevrolet Monte Carlo (need another angle to narrow it down) & the Pontiac is post war, roughly 46-48.

Cicopo is correct the ford SHOULD HAVE wire spoke wheels but the body certainly looks like a Model A...

on the mark also with the Monte Carlo. need headlight and or taillight shots to narrow it down...

the fire engine is a Seagraves but its difficult to determine a year since different departments would have ordered their own set-ups, and some apparatus could be in operation for quite a few years...

Sometimes, if you look at the license plate, it will have the year of the car on it. Otherwise ask the owner, or use image search in https://www.google.com​/imghp (external link)

Unfortunately these models don't have anything on their license plates, besides standard information. I ask for info when I can but in this case the owners either were not around or were
rushing past at a speed of forty miles per hour.


Thanks everyone for help.

I think #2 may be an Essex not a Ford

Rad surround isn't right for an Essex. Essex had a rectangular opening for the rad while # 2 has a curved top area.

It's not right for a Ford either though

Totally agree that it's not a Ford. To be fair I've owned & fully restored a 28 Model A Ford which took a lot of research at the time, and I've done quite a bit of work on a 28 Essex & am currently working on a 73 Monte Carlo. Unfortunately that doesn't identify # 2 but it would appear to be from the 28-32 era +/- a year or so. It's my understanding that the wood spoked wheels of the 20's would self destruct on rough roads once the cars got faster so by the late 20's manufacturers were moving toward wire wheels or solid steel wheels. To me that limits it to something in the era I've mentioned but there were a lot of different brands back then.

#2 is a 1929 Chrysler most probably. They used those wooden wheels.

Thank you all.

Did a thorough research and it seems like #2 is 1929 DeSoto K Coupe (Division of the Chrysler Corporation). Thanks, Brain.

#5 appears to be a Pontiac Streamliner.
