1931 Chevrolet AE Independence Coach.
Mixed in with the faint whisper of the evening breeze and summer night insect sounds, I hear the gentle double-slam of those ornate screen doors.
Steve Belcher, I'm right with you except the cool evening breeze would be very humid, hot, and muggy.
If there was ever a photo here that moves me, it's this one. I feel like I just walked up a dirt road and back into time. I can almost hear the bugs and feel the cool evening breeze.
Looks exactly like the one that my wife had a few years back. Her's Hers was green and white with whitewall tires.
On the left, nearly out of the frame, is a 1935 Ford Tudor sedan -- a standard model, with but one taillamp. Farther to the right is a 1936 Tudor that may or may not be a standard, since the far lamp is hidden, if it's there. There were other differences not seen in this photo. I have owned an example of each of these jewels.
