 Posted: Wed Jun 20, 2018 10:31 am Post subject: Identifying Vintage Cars |
 |
|
I am, by hobby, a reasearcher into old photograhps of all kinds of things. Every now and then, I stumble over vintage cars which I find very hard to identify, because I'm really not much of a car enthusiast. If you guys could help me, I'd be very grateful.
Below, two of my current problem children:

Any help will be much appreciated!
Cheers

Hi
PM 6631 is a Vauxhall, Bonnet flutes visible when zoomed.
The other one has a circular badge.
Hint for others looking>
Screen zoom doesn't work, instead
Scroll down till you see the red zoom button.

Hi. I would suggest that the second car is a Vauxhall 14/6 of around 1933/4.
Export models had the larger 26 HP engine. |

I think the first one is a 1933 Citroen 8cv.

Those photographs belong to a fairly big collection owned by ETH, the swiss equivalent to the MIT. If you're interested, you can find more following this link:
http://ba.e-pics.ethz.ch/index.jspx?locale=en#1529518604457_1
The pictures show all kinds of stuff, but if you look around a bit, you'll find many pictures of vintage cars, too. |

Hi all,
Seeing my first try achieved a 100% success rate in no time, I thought, I'd try again.
There's a car under the trees on the right here http://doi.org/10.3932/ethz-a-000844373
Any chance of finding it? My best guess is that it is an early fifties Chevrolet Deluxe, but I somehow don't manage to fit all the visible details... |

No idea about the car. The last two were fairly easy but this is more tricky.
Interesting tree though! |

Its weird being the same age as old people.
You are either part of the problem or part of the solution |

There seems to be a curved swage going from under the rear door handle down to the sill and seemingly bisecting it. I can't say if Hudson had that but I don't think so. I'm stumped. |

I think I'd put my money on a 1946 Buick Roadmaster.
