With solid rubber tires why did they need a spare? Broken spokes? Don

My thanks also. I'll pass it on to my car buddies. Don

My son recently took up wood carving and his gift to me was this Packard Winged Goddess. Show us your interesting Christmas gifts. Don

Post this question on the Vintage Chevrolet forum, vcca.org Don

Keiser, I believe you're correct. I was remembering horizontal grille bars on the Tempest/LeMans and the grainy photo appears to have vertical bars as well. From your photo I can see the vertical bars in that Tempest as well, just not as pronounced as in the old photo. Don

Doesn't look just right for a LeMans or Tempest. Could it be a Canadian model? Don

I believe the one on the left is the same Chrysler, more like a 1951 or 1952. Doesn't look like a Chevy to me. Don

A 1941 Chevy in the foreground. Nothing appears to be newer, but that could be anytime during the war years as there were not that many 1942 automobiles sold. Don

I guarantee the California top will generate a lot more interest than a common folding top at any car show. Don

Oakland, maybe 1910 era? Don

The second part of the question is if it's worth dragging out of there. It's not rare nor valuable, but any auto is worth a few hundred as scrap. Probably not much more than that. Don

1951 Ford? Don

For sale, not mine. A neighbor passed away recently and left this 1950 Chevrolet to his daughter. He brought the car with him when he moved here from California and said it was an original California car with 24k miles. It is not factory original but has been lightly modified in the 1950's tradition. He had it repainted from its original yellow and reupholstered several years ago and recently installed a new top and boot. With it's typical 1950's lowered stance, split manifold and dual exhausts it looks and sounds just right for cruising. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevrolet-Other-Deluxe-Styleline-Convertible-/111711620621?forcerrptr=true&hash=item1a02880e0d&item=111711620621 Don

I don't know REO's, but the one in Hemmings certainly looks older than 1931 to me. On cars, at least, drum headlights went out of style by 1928. The overall look of this one is 1928 vintage. Don

150 Model four door sedan to be more specific. Don

Mr. Google says Sabine River Ford is in Orange, Texas. But I think your point is the advertiser is more likely to generate interest if a viewer sees the car is nearby rather just somewhere in the world. Don

We'd love to see a photo or two. Don

Look at the window glass if it is original. It will be coded with the date the glass was made/certified. That will tell you approximately when the truck was made, not when it was sold. During the war many trucks were stockpiled and sold as needed. They would be titled with the year they were sold in many cases. There was a Chevy sedan locally which was described as a very rare 1943 staff car. It was obviously a '46 model and I pointed out to the owner that all the windows were coded in March and April 1946, but it didn't convince him. Don

I'm pretty sure it's not Chevrolet; don't recall Chevy having either the cowl vent or the body side molding like this. Try posting in the "What Is it?" forum above under "Photo and Video" forums. Don

Keiser, I think everything looks like a Dodge to you, but you're usually correct. Dodge was a popular make back then. I agree the car is 1930-ish but it looks fairly worn. The photo is probably 3 or 4 years later. It didn't take long for cars to look "worn" with the poor roads they had back then. Don

With the "Loco" nickname on the fuel tank I believe Keiser is correct --- again. Don

Whatever it is it looks like it was professionally done. Some dealers had these made for service vehicles and high-end merchants often had custom pickups. Don

The original post said they had always been told the grandmother always drove Pierce Arrows. I don't believe anyone has ruled out that the photo is a Pierce Arrow. Absent evidence to the contrary I would say it is likely the car is a Pierce. Don
