Hello, thank you all so much in advance to everyone who responds! This was cropped from an old snapshot. I've been trying to read the info under the license number and could swear it looks like "32" on the left, as in the year. Also was thinking the name on the grill looks like Ford (?). Any idea what the two identical looking objects are above the license plate, and the circular metal piece just "southwest" of the license? (Maybe to hold some type of canister?) Best regards :-)
Hello All,
I'm trying to identify what type of car this is. I see it has a rumble seat without the padding on the back. And I'm told that the hubcaps are the smaller part in the center of 3-piece rims. Unusual design on the rims? Would they have been painted? Also, note the (painted on?) design on the right-rear tire. FYI, the back of the photo only has "Gannon" written in pencil, which I'm thinking is probably this guy's surname. Thank you so much for your expert help!
Thanks so much to all who responded. I so appreciate it! I had been initially searching (in vain) for the type of car by whatever is appearing there above the license plate. Thought it started with a Z, and maybe it does. I still don't get what this would refer to, but thanks to the wonderful Forum help I can see for sure that the car in my Real Photo Postcard is an Austin circa 1930 (maybe a coupe). In looking at Austin Bantam online I found an interesting article: The Austin Comes to America - Part 1 of the American Austin Bantam Story. Within this article is a link on the American Austin Bantam that states it was first introduced to the public January 4, 1930 at the New York auto show. (See the "Love Nest Candy Advertising" article.) So, then maybe my car might have been a Bantam. But in any case they were (are) beautiful little cars. Wish I had one :-)
Hi All,
I'm trying to find the make, model and year of this vehicle. The car was part of a street scene appearing on a Real Photo Postcard, maybe 1930s for the card, taken in Zacatecas, Mexico. Thank you in advance for your help!
Newbie that I am, I had tried to hit reply to the post thru my emails....So, now properly thanking keiser31 and everyone else who is posting here and to (my other posted query). Great links, etc. Thank you all tons. You're my new heroes. Re the license plate....I found this link http://plaque.free.fr/f_rec2e.html

The first link re "French Registrations between 1901 and 1928" shows examples of plates with the last 2 characters having that same letter/number combination that the Renault model circa 1924 NN has (the "M3" in the grainy sepia photo) so maybe it is a French plate.

Hi...These two very grainy small photos were found in a book (My Father, Mr. Mercédès) at a thrift store in California. Have searched high and low for the make model and year. Really appreciate your help. The license plate looks like 018-M3 or maybe that's a 6 character plate and the first character is cut off. If possible can you tell by the plate what state or country it would be from? Thanks so much.
Hi, thanks in advance for your help. Trying to i.d. the make, model and year of each. Wondering on the shot with the mom and kids, could the license plate be Oregon?
