Two Bug Shots

I had to open the trunk and hood to convince a kid that the engine was really in the back. More Bug Shots at the bottom.

1936 Ford

This unrestored 1936 Ford was in remarkable condition after 70 years. In those days, the spare often rode out in the open. This one has a protective cover.

1949 Chevrolet

In 1949, this body style was an instant hit. It looked fast, but power was from the old reliable "stove bolt six" which was not known for speed. Today, these cars are popular with collectors. You don't see many cars with horn rings on the steering wheel anymore.

Ford Sunliner

I think this convertible is a '56 Ford Sunliner. That's a '55 hardtop at left.

Fords in three colors.

The blue Ford is a Thunderbird. First of the T-Birds, this body style was built from 1955 until 1957.

The yellow Ford is a 1954 Customline hardtop.

The red and white Ford is a 1955 Victoria. I think the strap across the roof makes it a Crown Victoria.

This magnificent old Nash is a rare car.

Rumble seat

A rumble seat was in the back and in the open. In good weather, it was fun for two people. The mother-in -law seat was also in the back and in the open, but not nearly as much fun.

Dodge

This looks like about 1933 to me.

Name plates

You can call them a badge, a logo, or a name plate, but manufacturers have always been careful to identify their cars. For a look at headlights and tail lights on cars look at http://knoxville.yourhub.com/LOUDONCOUNTY/Stories/Travel/General-Travel/Story~307675.aspx
