  1. I realize this old picture postcard is far from ideal quality-wise, but I am trying to determine the make of the vehicles shown. The story I have been told is that the postcard is ca. 1910 and is from a small KY town and that the advertisement read "I now have fifteen cars on the floor and invite you to come in and inspect the display". The local Historical Society gives the dealers name and claims it was his Ford Garage. I know for a fact, based on newspaper ads from that same town, that the same gentleman had a Chevrolet Garage (dealership) in the same location and building. His Chevrolet ads started appearing in the local paper in 1926. I also know there was in the early to mid 1920's definitely a Ford dealership in that town, but under a different owner. I suppose I'm wondering if the same gentleman might have had a Ford dealership at one time, and Chevrolet dealership at another, or if someone through the years has tagged the postcard incorrectly. Long story short, a positive ID on the vehicle pictured might help solve the mystery.
