Time for some last-minute Christmas shopping?
We’ve been making a list and been checking it twice, but still it’s easy to forget things in the run-up towards Christmas. Did you make the mincemeat back in late November? Remember to buy the Christmas crackers? The Boxing Day breakfast, anyone?
Now, what is Christmas without traditions? One of our favourite traditions here at PreWarCar.com is asking you, our readers, to identify vehicles, people and places... because we don't know the answers ourselves. So, in keeping with tradition, we've two questions for you today. Firstly, does anyone recognise the location of the photograph? Yes, it’s a city in the USA in a particularly cold 1930s winter, but which one?
Secondly, let’s have a look at the vehicles sliding along the street or casually in the snow in the dash to get that last-minute present for Auntie Ethel or Uncle Albert. Anything out of the ordinary here?
May your days be merry and bright!

The panel truck slipping and sliding is a 1931-1932 Chevrolet. The clue is the large crank hole cover. Note the rear corner irons to keep the body from spreading. These are a classic design carried over from the horse-drawn era. The pickup truck is a mid 1930-mid 1931 Ford Model A. Pulling out of the side street is a 1934 Dodge sedan.

I'm going to guess and say it's 7th Avenue in New York City.

The sign for 'Guerting's Shoes' identifies this as Chestnut Street in Philadelphia.

How did you know about my Auntie Ethel and Uncle Albert?
Actually, they lived in Liverpool, UK, not in the USA.

Is there more history about the buildings in the background? Apart from being a dedicated "petrolhead", I'm also into the history and the architecture of buildings of previous eras. Please keep up this ongoing dialogue, covering not only early and interesting motor vehicles, the personalities and fashions involved, but also the surrounding buildings, gardens & general lifestyle of a now almost forgotten era! Also some more recent stuff is always appreciated.
