Ford Gal here and need help identifying

[DeeDee]

My grandfather and my Dad have always been Ford guys and so naturally I am a Ford gal. �� I am hoping that your expertise may help me reveal the make and model of these cars. The first one is supposedly my great great grandmother. It appears that she is standing next to a model T? Forgive me if I am incorrect as I know muscle cars and modern cars. The other is my grandfather polishing his car. It is a very poor photo and in bad condition as it spent many years in my grandmothers possession.

My dream is to locate either a restored vehicle or a modded street rod of one of these two vehicles in retirement. I had a 1968 Ford Coup in my twenties that I took to car shows and I had to eventually sell because I could not afford new floor pans. My Dad had Mustangs when I was a child including a Wimbledon white cobra jet. I had so many fun memories in the back seat asking my Dad to ‘go fast!’ With my Mom yelling at him, lol. Thank you! Diane.

Not a Ford that your great great granny is standing by. Can't tell what it is, but it's not a Ford. Your grandpa is polishing a '33 or '34 Ford Roadster.

Thank you!

There isn't much there to ID the car in the first photo but the wheel looks similar to Maxwell wheels of the late 20s. The Ford Roadster is on an angle where I can't tell for sure what the engine hood side louvers look like. The 1933 Fords had a slight curve to the louvers and a single latch handle. The 1934 Fords had straight louvers and two latch handles. There are other differences but they look a lot alike otherwise.

Welcome on the Barn. This section is for model T cars but the Ford photo is part of the early V8 section.

Maybe Grandma had an early Dodge. You can always look at car pictures for something similar. Her car looks too rounded to be of the early T era, maybe late 20s GM or other barnd. Back then there were many more makes of cars and most didn't last a lot of years. Maybe someone here will know for sure.
Grandpa had a car ANY of us here would love to have! Definetly a 33 or 34 Ford roadster.
Good for you trying to figure this out. Maybe you will find more pictures and post here.
Good luck, and welcome!
