Trying to ID these two cars. The one looks like a Ford to me but not sure the model

Well, I don't see but one, but the problem was, back then so many vehicles looked alike. I agree, it LOOKS like a Ford, but I don't think it is. because to me, the wheels don't look like Ford wheels. And the front fenders on most Fords of that era were a little more "swept back". If I'm wrong, I will gladly admit it!

My guess is Dodge, about a 1925 or 1926 touring car. Have no clue what no. 2 might be???

Does not look like a Ford or a Chevy. Wheels are not Pontiac /Oakland but a little close . Fender does come down sharply. Not too much to go on and there were so many brands back then.Hood slants down a bit. Hard to tell from this pic.

The only thing to really go on is the sharp downward way the fender sweeps . I google imaged Chrysler & Dodge and they both sweep back more. It did look slightly like a 26 Lincoln but I still think your pictures fender does not match but just is close.Can even see door hanbdles or too many clues.

I think Dino is rtight, it looks like a 1920 Essex.

Definitely not a Ford, as it has longitudinal semi-elliptic springs front and rear.

I think Dino has it correct.

1920 Essex Touring Model A

Here is a picture.

I am nearly 100% certain the car is a MAXWELL of a 1918 era model. I enhanced the pic and am satisfied with the identification.

My previous reply should have included, I was referring to the first car pictured. sorry for the double post.
