I couldn’t identify the car, what is it?

Zooming in, although blurry, looks to have been a circa 1930 Chevrolet two door sedan in the center.   A 1935-'36 Chevrolet peeks out by the buildings.

I believe the car in the middle with the hard rubber tires is a 1909/'10 Fuller!

While doing some research on some local places around home I have come across some photos with cars I thought I would share.....None of the buildings in the background currently exist, 2 were lost to fire and one to road expansion.

Queensland, Australia, 1935. New Buick wireless patrol cars.

 

These are Buick Series 40 sedans with bodies built by Holdens. About 1600 of them were built over the 1934-35 period.  The different appearance of them is more pronounced at the rear.

The second photo, showing how different the Holden body is at the rear, is my grandparents' car in 1960 when it had become the 'spare' car. It had lost its original taillights in an accident quite early in its life. It is still in the shed but probably not an economical restoration prospect. These were not sold new in NZ. NZ sourced its Buick from Flint. This one was privately imported in 1946.

Unbelted kids here in that car today....PERFECTLY LEGAL as its 'grandfathered'

 

Doing the same in a modern car, the driver would be ticketed, and the car most likely impounded.

From the Paramount Movie "Stolen Harmony" 1935. The actual band was Ben Bernie & His Hotel Roosevelt Orchestra. Mr. Bernie played the role of Jack Conrad. The movie also starred George Raft.

Peerless in Ohio snow.  Imagine if there were vintage car tours in the winter nowadays.

You should have been on the recent HCCA tour in Chattanooga.  It was in the 30s a couple of mornings!  We bundled up and did fine.
