Guest 57wagon Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Back in 1947, this photo was snapped at my grandfather's Standard/Tankar station in Fairfield Iowa. My mother would love to know all of the cars in the photo. I know my grandfather (second from right in grey coveralls) loved Hudsons, so I think the car behind the men is probably a Hudson, but would love to know what you all can tell me of the history in this photo!

Studemax Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 No, it's still HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!But the truck at the pumps is a Ford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 57wagon Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 what year??? And the photo was blown up to give you all enough of an image to work with. Sorry for the size of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest elmo39 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 the car behind the pumps looks like a 37-38 DODGE but could also be a Plymouth ,Chrysler or Desoto as they all used the same body style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TG57Roadmaster Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 That's a great family photo you got there; imagine pumping gas from the side door of that once-stately home. The car behind your g-father and his friends is a '29-'30 Nash, a large one with sidemounts. Maybe a '29 Super Six on a 121" whb?<span style="font-style: italic">Great</span> photo!TG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 57wagon Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I really like how you broke that out like that! I have found the original 4 x 5 photo and there is more detail for the car on the far left and a full view of the stake truck on the right.It is a Tankar Gas Station.

Guest prof pat Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I do not think the pickup is a Ford, the cab is not right, and the bed is too long for a 33-34. Also the hood has too many louvers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it may be a homemade job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manuel Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Does the Nash have the correct wheels?From what I see the Ford is a roadster pickup. It seems to be well rugged up!!On 1932 Ford PU's the grill was vertical as the pass cars were.But 33/34 PU's the grill was the same but on an angle. As Elmo said the car behind the bowsers belongs to the Chrysler family from the late 1930's and the truck looks like it could be a Chev.Manuel in Oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Call Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 57WThe pickup at the pumjp is not a Ford. Grill, headlights and fernders are not Ford. My father died in the crash of a 33 Ford delivery. I'm guessing Dodge or Plymouth.The big truck is hard to tell from the angle but it appears to be a 32 to 35 Chevy or Ford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuel Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 The roadster PU is a 1932 or 33 Ford model. But a rather sad one unfortunately [if its not a bitsa].The headlights appear to have sealed conversions.I have an identical pic of a beautifully restored one.The wheels appear to be different sizes from here [or is it the angle?].Cheers,Manuel in Oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curti Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 is the car on the far left a 36 chevy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Looks to me like from left to right...1937 Plymouth peeking out, 1929 or 1930 Chrysler two sedan. Car behind pumps is 1937 Dodge Brothers. The trucks are up for grabs. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
