Dedicating today's #DavesCarIDService to Darlene Dorgan and her Bradford Jalopy Girls of Bradford, Illinois, and their indefatigable "Silver Streak" 1926 Ford Model T touring.
From 1935-42, Darlene and her pals traveled tens of thousands of miles on annual road trips in the simple but sturdy T; twice circumnavigating the Great Lakes, exploring the West, the NY World's Fair, and stopping to say happy 75th birthday to Henry Ford. My kinda dames.
Speaking of gals with automotive pizzazz, what better way to start off the IDs than these two pips sitting on the running board of a 1929 Hudson or Essex Super Six? I like to think their names are Trixie and Polly. https://twitter.com/Zacuda/status/1325816217857368064
'Fraid not sir; not enough detail for a 100% certain ID, but I am 100% certain it's not a Ford Model T. I do strongly suspect the car behind these muleskinners is a circa 1923 Dodge Brothers touring. https://twitter.com/baileya305/status/1325871284320874499
Neat pic from vintage Brazil. I'll defer to you on the date sir, but based on cars seems closer to 1948 than 58. Truck is a 1941-42 Ford 1 ton, and newest car I see is a 1949-51 Mercury (blue lower left). Jeep station wagon was available 1946. https://twitter.com/tcmpacheco/status/1326159911160524800
Hats off to your GI pops, and his ride here is of course a war issue Jeep MB or GPW. Being pre-invasion, I think more likely a Ford-made GPW than the more common Willys-made MB. Love the hand-made stenciling. https://twitter.com/KingsThursday/status/1326522940951851008
1947-53 Chevy pickup, and you don't often see them with wire wheels. https://twitter.com/chrisobelll/status/1326523389377392640
circa 1930 International Harvester series W truck, with some slight modifications https://twitter.com/nasty_canasta/status/1326545759601262593
I'll ID it anyway as it has a bit of historical significance: 1948 Oldsmobile coupe, the last year of the Olds flathead straight 6 and 8 motors. In 1949 Olds introduced the Rocket V8, tying Cadillac as pioneers of the all new supermodern postwar OHV V8s. https://twitter.com/GribWrites/status/1326644482578804737

They just keep going and going. Hate to contradict the owner, but that's a 1928-29 Ford Model A coupe. Sometimes they get incorrectly retitled. https://twitter.com/Swachtor/status/1326930254745710592
Love the wagon wheel gate and the old fella mugging for the photo here. Peeking in from the right is a 1959 Chevrolet, but can't be more specific than to say it's a 6 cylinder rather than V8. https://twitter.com/LunaCoLiberty/status/1327096315298209792
Love vintage vay-cay color slides. L-R I am seeing a 1953 Chevy (with Johnson County Iowa plates), 59 Mercury station wagon, VW convertible, 1960 Rambler wagon, 1960 Chevy, 1955 Pontiac, and 1960 Plymouth Belvedere. https://twitter.com/TheTaxBastard/status/1327269787530096648
These dapper gents are with a pre-electric, Brass Era 1912-14 Ford Model T. The little tank on the running board contained headlamp gas. Yup, in those days you had to light the headlights with a match. https://twitter.com/VburkeVincent/status/1327437534910181376

*in hot rod vernacular, a "Hi Boy" is a car that sits on top of frame rails as stock; a "Lo Boy" has body dropped/ channeled over rails. My 32 Ford is half-channeled, so I call it a Ho Boy
Hats off to brave little Ruby Bridges, first black student (1960) to attend a white school in the South, immortalized in the Norman Rockwell painting. She arrives at school here in a 1955 Ford. https://twitter.com/Marc_Leibowitz/status/1327621873878896641

I'll await confirmation from military vehicle buffs, but I believe it is a Dodge WC 57. https://twitter.com/MatthewJFranck/status/1327632149311348736
It started off as a 1950-52 Chevy hardtop coupe; modest roof chop, and modified Buick grille. Not quite sure from this angle where the bumper is from. https://twitter.com/mdrache/status/1327648049687121920
I think they'd be called rear window vent mouldings or grilles. Best bet on finding a replacement set is from the Year One company. https://twitter.com/tedomega/status/1327648070046191617
I can't believe I give away free advertising
Yes, it's a 1928-29 Ford Model A, stripped down "speedster" style. Kind of a stylistic anachronism, as this was sort of a 1910-20 thing people did with Model Ts. https://twitter.com/AdamPiersen/status/1327656243733950465
The Blue Bomb was a 1960 Plymouth Sport Suburban wagon. https://twitter.com/BFoltaRealtor/status/1327661848053895168
It's a Chevy 1.5+ ton truck, could be anywhere from a 1941-46 but I'll take your classmate's word that it's a '46. https://twitter.com/moreyag/status/1327688545373483008

Car is a 1917-22 Ford Model T touring, which looks brand new (the half circle is an unused side spare tire carrier). The white tires leads me to think pre 1920, let's say ~1918. https://twitter.com/morris_ocean1/status/1327974483156754432
