rarivetti Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Gentlemen,I was out scouting for old chevy's today and came across some other cars that I need help identifying. Not sure if they are worthless or not but just wanted to double check since I can probably pick them up for next to nothing. Please view the attached pics, thanks!This is car #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave@Moon Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 The Maverick is a 1973 model (the only year for this combination of front and rear bumpers). The Corvair Lakewood is a 1961 model (it was only made in '61 & '62). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rarivetti Posted December 6, 2004 Author Share Posted December 6, 2004 Sorry guys yes I am a newb I am 28 years old and just recently got into old cars. Thanks a lot for your help and replies. I hope that I am allowed to post questions like this here, if not please let me know. Cars are located 30 miles north of Los Angeles.-Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitch Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Where are they like the Palmdale area? With the pine trees around could be the mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rarivetti Posted December 6, 2004 Author Share Posted December 6, 2004 Yes! South of there though up against the mountains before you get to mt. high. So, nobody can take a shot at #1 huh? I'm thinking early 30's ford truck but the picture is poor so I dont know if you guys will be able to tell. I will be out all this week scavenging the desert and taking pictures so be prepared for more pics!! Does anyone know of a book I can buy that will help me identify cars while on the road? Something that has all makes/models from the 20th century along with their values? I would like to be able to identify cars that I am not able to walk up to. If anyone knows of such a thing, please let me know, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sixpack2639 Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Best guess for pic #1 is early 30's Model A pickup. Hard to tell from your pic but it definitly is not a chevy as the roof corners are too rounded for chevy. Need pic of front to make definite ID.

billv8 Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Scour the used book sites like Abebooks, Alibris or even Amazon for anything like an automotive encyclopedia of the first half century. I found very handy the Consumer Guide's ENCYCLOPEDIA OF AMERICAN CARS 1930-1980 (1984) Beekman House NYC. As I am mostly interested in Classics (post 1925) this is a good resource. Old Floyd Clymer books (Clymer and Bonanza) are of some use IDing antiques. These and other publishers must have printed tens of thousands of similar encyclopedias. The STANDARD CATALOG series of softback references of important American marques (Krause Publications) is very useful. Don't forget the google at your fingertips...Bill C in TN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
