I have some old family photos from Texas from 1905 to 1930 that I'm trying to date by the age of 2 or 3 cars that show up. Are there any good "picture books" on-line or at the libraries that would be a good start?<P>Bruce

Bruce,<BR>it would be faster if you send me copies of the photos and have the visitors here identify them.<BR>Peter<P>peterg@aaca.org

prinfac, Please send the copies to Peter, identifing old car photos is a lot of fun. The best "picture book" is The Standard Catalog of American Cars 1805-1942. With 1536 pages of photos and information it should be your first choise of research books.

I use the "Standard Catalog" to do this exact thing with old photos I collect.<BR>Use the radiator grille, wheel style and center caps and then general body shape to determine what it is. I've been very successful in ID'ing cars this way, and I have no real knowledge of pre-war cars. [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img]
