That white car is a 1963 Ford Custom 300. The '62 was similar but the sheet metal was a little "rounder" and the back panel had a little angle to it.
The Nash is about a '53 or '54. As I said in another post, I was unaware that the Nash had an Ambassador. Looks like they did. I've seen these cars - not many - when I was a kid and off and on since. Never liked them then, don't now.

[quote="Smog_guy"]Hey, this is fun! It's like a test.
I'll go first
Top picture is Mopar Chrysler, Dodge, Dedoto. Early 1950s?
Middle pic is late 40s GMC.
Bottom pic is late 40s early 50s Chevy truck next to white early 60s Ford Econline van or pickup.






The van may be a dodge.

Re: 1940(ish) international

I'll give it my try.
That Mopar is a Chrysler Imperial from around 1955, possibly 1956. It is not a Dodge, but is some possibility of being a Desoto. The script on the trunk lid, while not legible, looks more Chrysler Imperial in length.
The green GMC is likely 1953 or 1954 because of the one piece windshield and parking light placement.
The Chevy pick up is a little tougher to place, but could be '49, '50, '51 or '52. I believe they went to one piece windshield in '53, but I could be off a year or so on that change.
You can do some narrowing down of the GMC and Chevy by going to a catalog like LMC and checking the sheet metal pieces and windshield types to get to specific years. I know some of the Chevy's and GMC's had years when they had minor differences like with and without vent windows, one piece versus two piece windshield, flat bed rails versus angled bed rails, etc. Before my grandfather got his L110, he had a '52 Chevy until it was totaled in '68. I was a teenager at that time and didn't know a lot of the differences, but have since picked-up some of the subtle changes due to associations with other owners.

Re: 1940(ish) international

I just browsed the LMC catalog and found that the GMC is likely a '54: one piece windshield, parking light placement, one year only white grill, flat bed rails.
The Chevy is '51, '52 or '53: door has vent windows, two piece windshield, sloping bed rails.
