    #1 is a 50 or 51 Ford. Definitely not a 49. Under the front bumper is a piece of chrome trim that surrounded the front turn signal, which the 49 did not have. #photography

    It looks to me that Street View has found a ghost of Alameda motoring past, just to the right of that telephone poll. It's not just cars that live forever inside that magic mile. #photography

    So where are these cars now, Murilee? Because you know they are still lurking around Alameda somewhere. Probably not DOTS but in the garages somewhere... #photography

    I can identify the first four, but the 5th has me stumped.

    - #1: a 1949 -1951 Ford Club Coupe
    - #2: a 1935 Hudson Terraplane Sedan. I can't identify the coupe in the background.
    - #3: a 1940 Packard Formal Sedan
    - #4: This one was easy, as its a 1941 Buick.
    - #5: Are you kidding?... most of the late 30's early 40's two door cars look like this. I have to research it by using the back tire. #photography

    The brown sedan is not a Nova nor a Ventura...it is a Canadian Pontiac version. The nameplate escapes me this early on a Sunday AM.

    My mind is blown by 3 things:


    - Murilee's Portrait. As Cuba has their Che image, now Jalopers will use Murilee's pic as our icon patron saint!


    - That Murilee still has a working SCSI scanner


    - And, a working computer with a working SCSI drive and the power to scan these pics.

    @ciscokidinsf: The SCSI thing isn't all that exciting; I bought the scanner back when tech writers were condemned to life with pre-OSX Macs (remember Extensions Hell?) and I always had a bunch of SCSI-cursed Quadras and Centrises around. These days, I just use a 5-bucks-on-eBay Adaptec PCI SCSI card in my XP64/Ubuntu box and the ol' scanner still works. Slowly.


    I've been using the same cheapo generic ATX computer case for about 8 years now. Motherboards, power supplies, and countless drives have come and gone, and zipties support many of the internal components, but it's still getting the job done. Hmmm... maybe I should do a post on Gizmodo about my rig:

    The Ford in the driveway is indeed a Ford Custom. First car I ever remember riding in. 289, 3-speed floor shift with overdrive.

    Pic #1 - My guess is a 1965 Chrysler New Yorker (only reasonable clue is the rocker molding and the formal roof line)

    Pic #2 - 1963 Cadillac Sedan DeVille

    Pic #3 - 1964 Ford truck (who knows)

    Pic #4 - 1967 Buick Skylark

    Pic #5 - 1970 Chevy Bel Air sedan

    Pic #6 - 1949 Cadillac Sixty-Two sedanet, 1967 Ford Custom sedan with.... I'm guessing here.... a 289 4V, 3 speed manual trans with floor shifter and overdrive.

    Pic #7 - 1969 Chevy Corvair convertible, if that's a side marker light I see

    '63 Cadillac De Ville or Series 62 - black car

    '67 Ford Custom - turquoise

    '49 Cadillac sedanet - green

    '65 or '66 Corvair - maroon

    '70 Chevrolet Impala - gold

    '63-'66 Ford pickup - red

    '65 or '66 Cadillac - distant black car, a guess

    White car - mid-60s large GM, best I can do
