lump Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 A family friend posted a photo of the Lincoln County Ky courthouse on Facebook with a tag to my name. She asked me what year the photo might be, based on the cars. I told her it was likely mid to late forties, since the first car looks to me like a 46 Plymouth. The next car looks like a late 30's GM 2 door "humpback" sedan, and the car far in the background looks like a 36 Ford...even though very little detail is visible. Not sure on the car at extreme right. Can you help me with this one, gang? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) The one up the hill looks to be a 1938 DeSoto, maybe. Total guess. Edited May 22, 2017 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
61polara Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I believe the first car on the street is a 1942 Dodge followed by a 1938 Chevrolet and 1941 Chevrolet. I think this photo is from 1942-1946. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 With the parking light on the body that second car is from 39. As a tudor it's probably a Chevy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Mellor NJ Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I was referring to the tail light, of course. Here's a better pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I may add that the photo may even be newer as there could be newer cars out of the photo. Just sayin'.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
