DCRS Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) I'm hoping that someone can date the vehicles so that I can date the photo. What year is the newest vehicle? Thanks!

keiser31 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I see a 1940 Chevrolet and a 1940 Plymouth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Bottom picture has several guys in military uniforms. Likely WW2 era, early 1940s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I'll take a stab at it, the newest cars are 1941s. There's a guy walking away from the camera in the center of the top photo, the car just off his right shoulder is a 1941 Buick and it's headlight appears to be touching the hood ornament of a black 1941 Chevrolet that's facing toward the left.

1932 plymouth pb sedan Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I would not know the year. I think these are great photos, look how happy everyone was. Perhaps they were happy because they just got done driving those cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E. Guitar Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Is it a panoramic photo cut in two or two photos? Do you have any idea of the location? Is the petrol station sign "Red Indian Station"? I think the photo is around 1947. If you posted the photos on a vintage fashion forum they could probably date the photos based on the womens clothing, hemline etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 It's one big picture, the top is the right side of the big picture and the bottom is the left side. There's a girl on the shoulders of two guys, she can be seen in both the top & bottom pictures. What I noticed first when I saw the thread was that none of the cars had any wide whitewall tires at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3macboys Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 1 hour ago, Andrew46Coupe said: Red Indian Station"? Definitely a Red Indian station from the sign and also a Salada Tea sign in the background. Looks like maybe a college/university grad party perhaps?

DLynskey Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I agree the oldest cars I see are 1941, but since no cars were built from 1943 to 1945 the photo could be from that era. If it was during the war you would expect to see a ration sticker on the windshield. I don't see one on the Packard facing the camera but a higher resolution screen than mine might show a sticker.

3macboys Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 From the First Aid sign that has the St John Ambulance logo on it I'm guessing that this was taken in Canada and this is only speculation on my part but I'm guessing in the Muskoka's . I believe in 1944 Ontario only issued a single rear plates which would also match none of the cars showing front plates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
