John Duresky Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I am a member of the Corregidor Historic Society. This photo was recently posted and dated is simply given as prewar (i.e. before 1941). Can anyone possibly identify the car and truck in the upper LH corner of the photo which I've attached here magnified? This should considerably narrow down the date Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Maybe a 1931-32 Chevrolet canopy truck.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
46 woodie Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 No, not Model A. Rear window is too large, rear bumpers are not "A", shape of front fender is different and hood louvers look like Chevrolet. I think keiser is correct, 1932 Chevy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.H.Boland Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 The truck is a 1929-30 Chevrolet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne sheldon Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I agree on both. Between the wheels, tail lamp, and hood my first thought for the coupe was 1932 Chevrolet. The 1929 and 1930 Chevrolet trucks had fewer louvers on the hood sides than did the 1931 and 1932 Chevy trucks, or any of the model AA Ford trucks. The truck in the photo clearly shows those distinctive fewer louvers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Duresky Posted April 29, 2023 Author Share Posted April 29, 2023 Thanks gentlemen, I just sent this to the historian who posted that photo using a screen capture from YouTube to show the fewer louvers in the truck. Helps to nail the photo down to no older than 1932. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
