I was walking a friend's property yesterday and found a bunch of old cars. I snapped some quick shots with my phone, but didn't have time to clear branches or anything... the mosquitoes were pretty thick.
Help me ID. No prizes. No glory. Just fun pics.
Vehicle #1; apparently a pre-war sedan/limo
Vehicle #2; maybe early 50s Sedan Delivery.
Vehicle #3; Looks like maybe a mid-60s Chevy flatbed?
Vehicle #4; Its a Chevy from the grille, early 50s?
Vehicle #5; This one I already know, but it was a fun find. 62 Comet
I'm working hard on this, but whatever these little things are, grab them.
1935 Dodge.
This photo will identify the sedan delivery.

1947 Chevy.

Ah, yes. The little grilles made me think 36 DeSoto, but the louvers on the bonnet weren't right:

Ah yes. Missed the split windshield. Single windscreen started in 53?

1941 Chevy Sedan delivery.

I'm pretty sure it's another '46-48 Chevy. The fenders carry into the doors, and the dash layout is correct.
What else ya got?
These are also all Canadian cars. When I first walked up on #1, I was desperately hoping I had stumbled onto a 37 Fargo, but alas, not a truck.
None of these are really salvageable. The story from my buddy is that his grandfather and dad would buy a car and drive it until it was helplessly beyond repair. Then they would take them down in the field, remove any parts worth selling, and let the rest sit. That is why most of them are on their side or roof; he would flip them to get to things like axles and transmissions.

Since the grill insert is mising, the Dodge might be a '36. Several carryover design queues from '35-36.
In reply to Rob_Mopar:
Sure, but those parts might have been replaced with used stuff following a minor fender bender during the war, shortly before it was abandoned in the woods...

I was worried that the pictures were taken near the base of a cliff, instead. Although that wouldn't explain why they were relatively intact.
