Hey Guys!

I just bought a german photo album on ebay, and I am wondering about the ID of this tank. I am yet to get the album in the mail, but I took this off the listing.

It's a French Renault R-35 aka Pz.Kpfw. 731(f).

Hi Mr.Peanut:

I know little about armour, but I believe your tank is this one.

Edit: Sorry, the manufacturer was Hotchkiss.

The French used Playing Card symbols for their company type markings. Alan

Hello,

I need help with this Berliet Lorry. It looks very similar to the Berliet VFSD. But it had other rims with 8 rim bolts (VFSD=6). The platform looks a bit larger. What do you think?

Regards, Holger.

Hello! Could someone please identify the car on the picture?! The photo was taken in Yugoslavia in April 1941.

Hello Befehl227,

it is not a Ford. It looks more like a 1929/30 Chevrolet. The asymmetric arranged ventilation louvres are typical for Chevrolet.

Regards, Holger.

Hi Stefan:

Your vehicle is a 1929 Chevrolet 1/2 tonner model AC.
Most likely supplied to Germany as a chassis/cowl and bodied locally.
Very rare in Europe.

Hey all,

what kind of Finnish staff car is this? My educated guess is something GM or Chrysler.

Hi Chris:

Your car is a 1938 Chevrolet Master Deluxe probably impressed from the Finnish private car park.

Hi Bill,

Thanks, I had a feeling it was some sort of Chevy but since my experience on identifying WW2 and pre-WW2 American cars is virtually nil I didn't want to risk making a wrong educated guess.

Thanks,
Chris

This is a cool photo - there is chalk writing on the wall. Anyone have guesses as to the type of car?
