pwacm Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 I'm going to go with 1934/1935? Looks to me like a 1934 Ford Sedan. I tried looking up Gulf economy test but didn't find anything yet. I would think they would use a current model car. Here is a pic I found of a 1934 Ford Sedan BigT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavender Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Men's clothing never changes! If there were women in the picture you wouldn't need the car to date the picture. Bon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point since no women are in the photo they must be at home barefoot and pregnant. That helps date things. lavender 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironing their house dresses. Those floral print cotton ones that buttoned up the front. Actually, I remember my mother doing that. I don't know where my iron is. Somewhere, unless I tossed it.
