Daliant. Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) Looks like a '37 or '38 Pontiac. Edited January 20, 2014 by Daliant. 1 Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 37 or 38 Buick, Pontiac or Olds 1 Quote
Don Coatney Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 Looks like a Winchester or possibly a Remington. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 This is a 1938 Pontiac. Grill similar. Ends of bumper curve up the same.................... 1 Quote
Niel Hoback Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 Throw a deer on the fender and that might be the same car! 1 Quote
Dan Hiebert Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 That...is a cool picture. Taking the family car out deer hunting, back when there were basically only cars or trucks, and a truck as a family vehicle was still unheard of. No CUVs, SUVs, luxury pick-ups, etc. I was repairing a hole in the quarter below the driver's side rear door on our D24 many moons ago. Had no idea what had caused it, until a 20 ga. shotgun wad worked its way out of the hole from all the banging. I can only surmise that the ol' Dodge had been taken out dove or quail hunting, and someone had accidentally fired a round when either taking the shotgun out of the car, or putting it in. 1 Quote
1940plymouth Posted January 22, 2014 Author Report Posted January 22, 2014 Dan, Your comments on cars being used as trucks is so true. I know I have mentioned it before, but I can remember my Grandfather and Uncle using Grandpa's 1950 Plymouth 4dr as a truck many times. There were times that they would take the back seat out, load either milk cans in the back seat area and trunk to take to the milk station, or even freshly born bull calves that needed to be taken to the auction house next to the milk factory. On the return trip if there was room, I also remember them going to the GLF to get 100 lb burlap bags of grain to feed the cows. My grandfather and uncle weren't the only farmers that followed this procedure. Not many farmers in the northeast corner of NY were I grew up had both a car and truck, there just wasn't the money. A few years ago, I wanted to recreate the milk cans in the trunk look using my car, 2 Quote
austinsailor Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 When I was 16 I worked in the local Dodge dealer's garage in central Missouri. My uncle brought in his 48 Dodge 4 door to have overload springs put on it. He'd loaded it with all his tobacco crop to haul to Kentucky to the auction house and it was grossly overloaded. I installed some coils above the axle (a common add on in those days), he went back home, loaded probably a ton of tobacco in the back and trunk and took off. Cars served as whatever you needed them to be in those days. 1 Quote
Don Coatney Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 I wonder what a ton of backy was worth in those days? I can only imagine how sweet that car must have smelled with that load. 1 Quote
55 Fargo Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 Enjoyed this thread Bob, yes been hunting as a kid, went in the family cars, no pickups, lots had em, but most city family people did not. SUV, Mini Vans way into the future. people today are really spoiled as compared to even when i was a kid 1 Quote
Grdpa's 50 Dodge Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 I recall loading coal in the back seat area,,,seat removed. Recall stories of farmers hauling in a couple sows or boars in back seat too, never saw it personally as well as a few sheep to boot. Would need a bunch of air freshner after that one. Probably a hose first 1 Quote
1940plymouth Posted March 13, 2014 Author Report Posted March 13, 2014 I have another car to be ID'd What is the car to the left in this photo? I am thinking late '30's Buick, Caddy or Packard. Thanks, Bob Quote
Lumpy Posted March 15, 2014 Report Posted March 15, 2014 Winchester 94. Funny how many deer the old timers could kill without a big old hunkin' three pound scope on their rifles. Had a '49 Dodge truck with a dent in the fender where someone TRIED to shoot it with a .22. Yep, just a little lead plated dent is the worst it could do. ken. Quote
TodFitch Posted March 15, 2014 Report Posted March 15, 2014 I have another car to be ID'd What is the car to the left in this photo? I am thinking late '30's Buick, Caddy or Packard. Thanks, Bob Can't seem to blow it up to get more detail but it looks like a Packard to me. Don't know enough to tell which year and model Packard though. Looks like a fairly long hood and with the side mount I am guessing that it is not a 120. Quote
1940plymouth Posted March 28, 2014 Author Report Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) Here is a photo that I found recently of my Mother with her sister and brothers, with her Mom and another lady. Does anyone know the make and model of the car? Mom is the little girl on the rear of the running board, she was born in Sept of 1929 if that helps Thanks, Bob Edited March 28, 2014 by 1940plymouth 1 Quote

Niel Hoback Posted March 28, 2014 Report Posted March 28, 2014 This is my 1930 Chrysler taken in 1962. Looks a lot like yours. A '29 looks the same as do the Plymouths. 1 Quote
Niel Hoback Posted March 28, 2014 Report Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) Oops, double post. Edited March 28, 2014 by Niel Hoback Quote
RobertKB Posted March 29, 2014 Report Posted March 29, 2014 This is my 1930 Chrysler taken in 1962. Looks a lot like yours. A '29 looks the same as do the Plymouths. Makes you wonder if it is still around if you have not kept it all these years. Quote
Niel Hoback Posted March 29, 2014 Report Posted March 29, 2014 I feel bad every time I think about that car. I sold it for $175 in '63 when I got married. I have to go puke now. Quote
