Earl B. Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 (edited) If anyone can identify these cars and year made, I'd certainly appreciate it. The picture was taken in 1934. The cars look to be about 10 years older to me. The third car looks like my grandfather's 1922 StudebakerSpecial Six, but, I may be wrong. thanks to all who can help, Earl B.

Matt Harwood Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 First one appears to be a 1925 or 26 Buick 2-door sedan. Second might be a Chevrolet? The disc wheels give it away. The third, I'm afraid, I can't identify but there are guys who are EXCELLENT at this game who will be along shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Car on the far left (1st car) looks like an Essex to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 The car on the left is very close to Hudson mid 1920s too. Leif in Sweden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 (edited) First car is too big to be an Essex. I would agree with Hudson. With no front brakes it could be as late as 1926. The touring at the back has not enough detail visible. Could be any one of quite a few different models. Interesting that for a photo taken in 1934 there are no cars newer than 1928 (at the latest for the Chev).

Dave Mellor NJ Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I say Essex like this 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) The Essex has only five rim bolts; the Hudson has six. The Essex has straight lines on the angle on the radiator top; the Hudson's top is curved. The Essex is on a 110" wheelbase; the Hudson's wheelbase is 127.5" The rear edge of the body of the Essex coach shown is behind the rear wheel. On the Hudson it is just behind the rear axle. The Essex is a compact car; the Hudson is a big car, as the mystery car above is. Edited May 30, 2016 by nzcarnerd (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28 Chrysler Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 The third car could be a Stude, with a bent rear left fender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLynskey Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I agree the second car appears to be a Chevrolet. If so it is a 1927. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My father turned the car over once... Makes me wonder even moreso if it is my grandfather's car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
