Dave Henderson Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 The light color car way in the back may be a '41 DeSoto. That '41 Plymouth looks a bit "seasoned" with a rumpled rear fender. I'm thinking the picture was taken in a late WWII year, perhaps spring or fall based on how people were dressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curti Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 July 22 , 1942How did you arrive at that date? I would like to have a few of those street lights for my driveway ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roysboystoys Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Just playing , thought it was as good a guess as any. I see a photo number in the bottom right corner. Did a quick search but didn't find anything. How did you arrive at that date? I would like to have a few of those street lights for my driveway !

keiser31 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I see a '39 Chevrolet.Well, if there is a 1941 Plymouth in the photo, the photo date has to be 1941 or newer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curti Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 John , looking at the side of the grill on the close one it might be a 40. The car coming over the hill in the background might be a 41. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhb1999 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Well, if there is a 1941 Plymouth in the photo, the photo date has to be 1941 or newer. Yes, I agree. The second car from the near left is the 1939 Chevrolet, behind the one you can only see the rear of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drwatson Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 This photo looks to be by the same photographer plus or minus a few minutes. You can see the Packard - Chev - Plym down the street.Caption with this new piece of evidence said "circa 1950". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLynskey Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Henderson Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) What is the first car beyond the mailbox? My first instinct was that it was a '34 Ford. But, the headlights look too small, no horns are visible, the dip of the bumper isn't "saggy" enough, the sides of the windshield appear to slant slightly inward, and the way the front of the fender curves inward doesn't look quite right. Maybe it's just the photo, or could it perhaps be a '34 Studebaker? What do you think? Next one a '40 Lasalle? Then the easy one, a '37 Chevy; Squared off fenders o the next one could mean '41 Pontiac, maybe, then about a '40 Chevy. What's your guess?

Guest Dorky Dan Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Well, I see a 1941 Plymouth.I don't. Definitely NOT a 40's Plymouth. Best guess ... 1931. Late 30's and on had the headlights in the fenders. I have a '39 and this one is MUCH older than mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you click to enlarge 1st photo in this string, you should see a 1941 Plymouth (not 40) just under the Western Union sign.Original question was "What year do we think this (photo) was taken?" My guess: shortly after WWII.In any event, welcome to the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
