From David Berry on Facebook comes this photo of a 1918 Chevrolet FB Touring. David writes "My mom and her older sisters with the family Chevrolet, late 1918 or early 1919. My mom is the baby sitting on the fender."

Let's jump ahead a few years, with David Berry again! "Here's another snapshot of my mom, this time from 1934 in Sheldon, CA, standing by what looks like a 1927 Chevy Capitol 2 door sedan, with my grandma in the driver's seat. According to a little book Mom wrote about growing up on a ranch east of Sacramento, her mother did the driving when they left the ranch, while her father just drove his Model T truck around the property."

The horns mounted above the hood louvers of the '31 Cabriolet are pretty COOL!
All the Best,

The man in the middle is the father of one of my friends. My friend had posted it on Facebook wishing his dad happy father's day. My guess, a '31

Here is a photo of a local landmark (now demolished) with three cars in front. It was taken in 1928. Any Chevy's?

I like the looks of those 60s and on back dealers,they look so much better then todays all look alike buildings.I just went by a small town Chevy dealer a little north of me and it looks like GM got to him and made him build a new building that looks just like every other but only smaller and tore down the neat old building,that dealer always bragged about being cheaper in the country but I doubt it now that the new building needs to be payed off.

This one might be a re-run I haven't seen here, but this is off Shorpy's site of a cool tri-color wagon coming off the line:

1935 (?) Chevy truck pulls a load of new Buicks in this filling station image from 1936. Interesting that all the car bumpers and brackets are removed for transport; presumably to make them fit on the trailer. This is a very high resolution image so click on the picture link: http://www.shorpy.com/files/images/SHORPY_8b28781u.jpg Check out the paint detail on the artillery wheels on the cars.

I think the interpretation of a tri-color station wagon is in error. The blue cast in the photo is from the blue back ground lights reflecting on the white top paint. Also see the blue cast on the Bel-Air top edge on the car just in front of the wagon. BTW I like the fourth car in line. Sure looks a little shorter than the rest.
How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!

Yes, lower. Was thinking tall>short. Not long>short. Higher>lower. Think I got it.
Yes it is a convertible. That is one reason I like it.

Thanks for the clarification. I like the tri=color look even if it is an optical illusion. I saw that the link I posted this am was not working and I went to edit the post and can't. Is there a time limit on editing posts? It's only 6 hours old.??? Here's the image I was trying to post. Looks like a '35 Chevy pulling a load '36 Buicks.
