| What is this?
Its been a long time since I've posted but I finally was able to renew my membership with the AACA and felt I should ask this here. On a farm that my great uncle owns near San Antonio Texas, there are several cars of various vintage. Including, 70 4 door Cutlass, a 67 Dodge, a 53 Ford, all four doors, a couple pickups etc. But only one is not known. It is probably a pre-WWII car, if not war time. And its been sitting around for so long its probably not worth restoring. But its been of interest because no one not even my great uncle knows what it is. I've got two photos of the car from front and rear, my mom is afraid of rattle snakes so she won't go closer. Please, I've heard everything from Ford, to Oldsmobile to Packard to Cadillac. I want to have a solid ID for this car. Ok, Mom just told me (she is there now) its a Buick, (confirm anyway) now the question is what year. According to her Uncle its all there with parts scattered all over the farm.

I'd say it was a 37 Buick. | |

It also looks like the remnants of an old Farmall tractor on the left side of the first picture (F-20 or F-30). | |

Those would be Farmall Regulars with the open steering gears. The F-20's had closed steering gears of two designs. The earlier was called a "Duck Bill" steering box. I had a bunch of these old Farmalls as a kid. Dandy Dave!

LOL didn't think to ask about the tractors, I have a couple more photos of what is on the farm, feel free to go for it. I am assuming I might have a shot at some of the cars and either sell them whole or part them out. Some I might keep but I already have an 84 Trans Am that is undergoing some light restoration work (weatherstripping, rust removal and engine swap. Not a ground up.....yet) so I don't know what I'll do with those cars if I took them and brought them home. Mom would kill me. I'm assuming I can get some money for the tractors too?
As for the rest of the photos, see attached, I believe as I mentioned before, theres a 70 4 dr door Cutlass, a 53 4 dr Ford Crestline, a 67 4 dr Dodge Polara, an 85? Ford LTD?, a Combine in the photo with the Olds and a Ford F100 Pickup of 1960s vintage? | |

The Farmall Regular's are fairly common and not real valuble, but I'm sure if you advertise them that an IHC collector would save them. Dandy Dave!

That Pickup appears to be a '64. The LTD is earlier than '85 probably an '83 or '84.
