Help Identifying Automobile Make and Year
Self ^ | November 22, 2020 | POF

I'm working family genealogy and found a photo of my great grandparents and family. That's my grandfather at upper right. The little girl between great grandma and great grandpa was born January 1924 and she appears about 4 or 5 years old here, so I'm guessing the photo was taken in the summer of 1928 or 1929.

Can you help me figure out what their automobile is? I'm guessing it is a 1928 - 1931 Ford Model A Slant Windshield because of the three windows on the side and the suicide door hinges.

Here's somebody's 1931 Ford Model A Slant Windshield...

Thanks! I’ve been having fun following their moves from England and Germany to Canada in the mid 1800s, then migrations to western Canada and then into Idaho. I’ve found lots of homesteading document in Canda and WW I Canadian Expeditionary Force papers for several family members. It sure makes for interesting reading.

I talked to a Canadian distant second cousin yesterday who I’ve never met. We chatted about family history for three hours! That was really fun. He’s a real conservative and I invited him to join FR.
