    I have two large mounted photos I am attempting to identify that were given to me by a friend. The photos are not of the entire vehicle, hence the difficulty in identifying each vehicle.

    One photo is of the left front (head light with pin stripes) of what appears to be a late 1930's vehicle. The second photo is of the right front corner of possibly a 1950's vehicle with what appears to be a "center bolt" attaching the hub cap. Any help is appreciated. Thank You!

    I thought that the second one is a vw van.
    Use google images and you will come to a conclusion.

    The tell on the second one is the three little punched lines below the headlight. Classic early Fiat 500.

    The tell on the second one is the trim on the side of the headlight bucket and the grill. 1937 and 1938 Buicks used the same trim on the buckets, but the '38 had thicker bars on the grill.
