    Friday Morning "Whatsit? car quiz

     



    I have two pictures to share. The first one is my Uncle Chuck and Aunt Eloise on their honeymoon. What kind of car are they sitting on the running board of? Next one came from a calendar and is perhaps the most beautiful car I have ever seen. Would really like to know what it is, so I can find one and buy it! LOL

    Thanks, Pat

    Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!

    I'm guessing from memory... but I think the first is a mid-twenties Oakland.

    I believe the calander car is a Delahey.
    I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....

    Thanks! Using that I found this page with more pictures and info. Has to be one of the finest examples of 1930s Art Deco automobiles around.

    Depends on if I win the Super Lotto this week or next week...

    By the way I received an opinion that the first car is a 1929 Dodge. Based on the contour lines on the top and other pictures I found, I agree it does look like a Dodge of that era, but I have not been able to find a picture of a 1929 Dodge 3 window coupe, or any other year with the fender mount spare.

    Right family, wrong cousin. It's a '29 Chrysler. The thin profile of the grille surround is one key, the Dodge didn't have that I don't believe, only the Chrysler and DeSoto. Also the golf bag door would not have been on a lower priced car like the Dodge, generally a more up market feature.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Bob, I believe you nailed it. Did a web search and found this one. Looks very close. I can also see the rumble seat step on top of the fender.
