Title: Vintage Cars
Post by: P.C. on Mar 22 09 04:57
Ok.  I suspect these may likely be classified as antiques...but I digress.

  Is there anyone out there, that can identify the year of old vehicles from only viewing them in a photograph ?

I know a few people who might be able to.  What era are these cars from?

 I am useless on this subject, but would like to see you post the pictures nonetheless.

    I'm so useless at this, that I'm not even sure of that.....although one of the images appears to have '37 on the license plate....but I can't be sure.  But the rest of them....I have no idea.  These images are pretty bad.  I'd love to know some of them, as it would help in piecing together part of the puzzle.  

  I would be most appreciative of any assistance in this.

Depending on the vintage and the country of origin ...  I'd be happy to try to identify them ... no promises.

They're cars that were my grandparents....I'm assuming.  I'll run them through imageshack.

Thanks vg.

I PM'd you a couple to peruse at your leisure,  van guy.

Dammit, I thought this was something to do with pictures and talking about cars people have or love.

Send some my way. I will look with my brother, and I will pass them to my dad.. whom seems to be very good at this.


To get this thread back on topic.. I have a 66 Plymouth VIP.. which looks the same as a Plymouth Fury III.

Those are N I C E !

  I know the topic was a little misleading...but I needed help.  The cars that I want identified are much much older than those.

  van guy had the first one nailed.

  I am scanning some more today.

Heres a Grey 66 VIP (only its four door and mines two door)

Here is a two door Fury

Russ, PC PM'd me and i was able to figure it out pretty quickly.  I had the make and rough year down in a few seconds just a matter of doing some google image searches to tighten it up a bit.

My best friend in high school had a Fury III - it was an enormous automobile.  It was a two door as well, I'm thinking it was 66 but it looked bigger than the ones in your picture ... maybe i was just smaller then ?!?!

 Congrats on the ID! Sometimes its so hard to do with only a photograph not showing some of the features particular to that model year.

Yeah, they are an enormous vehicle, mines been off the road for years, as I have to do some touchups and rebuilding of the tranny and engine. They sat for so long that all the seals have gone hard. The engine still runs, and runs good amazingly enough, even with the carb having sat with the gas varnishing up. Its not a 440 in there which I would have liked, its only a 318. Still really good condition for a 66.. It was bought brand new by my grandfather.
I agree the photographs are misleading.. its STILL big, lol.

Ive been looking for an actual muscle car. Browsing all the adds and craigslists for a barracuda or a challenger. I dont really want a dart or a charger, they are really overdone.

This is one of the pathetic pics van guy had to go on.

lol.  van guy says it's a 1929.  That pic was from a stack of negatives retrieved from the bottom of a box of photos from my mom and dads house, that seemed to have almost no image on them at all, when held up to a light.  I was going to just throw them out, but decided to play with them a bit.

  It's been kinda fun pulling an image from these, because nobody in my family has ever seen them.  I'm sure my sisters will love to see them in spite of their bad quality.

Not soooo hard.  The grill is pretty distinctive

how much gas can a 440 suck through a 4bbl carb in a second??

When i was 16 i had a 68 chevelle. 350 small block.  I still have a soft spot for that '68 there are a couple of body presses that are just classic.
