Casper Friederich Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 (edited) Well, the woodie is maybe the most sought after today, or the 1937 (or 1938 Standard) Ford Convertible behind it? The wide bolt-pattern is such giveaway. Two other Fords from roughly the same period as the previous. Packard sedan at the far left.

Dave Mellor NJ Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Besides the hood which isn't there, The fender is also different on the 38.Most people don't know this. I say the car on the pile is most likely 37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Simmons Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Looks like a late 30's Pontiac at the bottom of the crane and possibly the same vintage Oldsmobile above it to the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drwatson Posted December 24, 2016 Author Share Posted December 24, 2016 (edited) There's enough resolution to plus size photo for details. The Ford Conv. appears to have a '36 front bumper. It looks like a project someone gave up on; possible NOS front fender? Dent pull marks on door? Mom said: "get that thing out of the yard, do you hear me?". The nose of a '37 Plymouth is peeking out behind the Woodies tailgate, which is missing. '39 Nash up on top............, Sorry 30Dodge, I had to share my suffering.

Dave Henderson Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 The rear shot of the car under the '41 Plymouth wagon may be a '39 Dodge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Henderson Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 The 4dr at the top of the heap smacks of being a '38 Chevy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzcarnerd Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Also a '38 Olds six up top between the '38 Chev and '39 Nash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 I think the only one not yet commented on is the fastback sedan at lower right. Note two piece rear window, suicide rear doors and 'stripes' on the rear fender - '39 Dodge?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first junior Packard was '35 and this one is a '36 because it has conventional front doors - the '35 had suicide doors. I'm thinking later still because it appears to have an all steel roof. My guess is '39 because of the lack of a trim strip on the middle of the roof. Of cause the trim strip might have been dislodged, which would make it a '38.

Yes it is later because it has a vee windshield. Not an expert on these but the vertical trim strip below the head lamp also dates it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks John. The Olds between the '38 Chevy and the Nash is a '37, model F37, 6 cylinder. The '38 had plain hood sides.

john2dameron Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 In 1956 I spent a few days at my grandparents. My mom's brother lived up the hill from them and had a bunch of scrap cars sitting around. I mostly remember Pontiacs from the 1940's. It seemed like 75% of the cars were Pontiacs and all looked drivable. I am sure they all got cut up for junk. What a shame. Wish I at least had some photos but I don't.
