    These two vehicles were in my family. My father found the photos and cannot remember what kind of cars they are. He was too young, the 4 door was his dad's and the little car with the girl is his Aunt. Thanks for the help.

    The first one looks to be a mid twenties dodge touring - I'd say a '23 or so. The second wouldn't load.

    The one with the girl is a Model T, early 20s.The other one looks like 1916-1917 Chevrolet touring car.
     
  4. I'm certainly no expert, but the second one looks like a (brand new!) Model T touring car...

  5. Both are 'T's. Both have transverse leaf springs and all the hallmarks of a Ford.

    I agree, that both are Model T Fords.
     
  7. I have to agree with need louvers, a Dodge, about 1922 or '23. The other is a model T.

    arkieshotrods nailed the first one. I was thinking twice after I posted that, but my knowledge of early Chev stuff isn't great.

    That first two tone Chev shown by arkies must be a late in the year model. I know you have it labeled 1917 but the angled windshield posts were not until the 1918 model. Then the 1919 had a different fender to runningboard angle where they meet. The 1917 had a nearly vertical windshield.

    I sure appreciate all the input guys. Of course, my knowledge is pretty scarce unless the car is an Oldsmobile. I told my father someone here would be able to help out. Thanks.
