Special Memorial Day #DavesCarIDService today to honor those who sacrificed all for our country, and others who served. First up: my great uncle Frank Stebner with his brother Bill on the running board of a 1940 Chevy coupe. 2 months later he would die on the USS Ingraham.

Great Aunt Laura and the unidentified doughboys are on a circa 1917 Ford Model T truck, the cowl modified presumably to deflect gunfire and shrapnel. https://twitter.com/Genterline/status/1264540855022600192

Another great uncle, this one leaning on a 1951 Ford Tudor. https://twitter.com/AdultingCzar/status/1264629601688596482

Dad here is standing alongside a 1942 Willys Americar, later a very popular body used in drag racing's gasser class. Behind it is a 1938 Pontiac. My dad too spent a bit of time at Ft Lewis, going to Korea and back. https://twitter.com/jwkeller144/status/1264609861272137729

The car behind Sgt. Carpenter is a 1942 Ford Tudor. https://twitter.com/MrJansTweets/status/1264899503863332865

quick note: the last 2 tweets have featured 1942 model year cars, which might surprise some. All civilian automobile production in the US was shut down after Dec 7 1941, but production of the 1942 models had started in September 1941.

another quick note: I always thank you to keep your politics out of my car ID threads, and I *especially* thank you to do so today.
