Please id the cars.
Looks like 1941 Oldsmobile by the taillights and rear bumper.
Other is a 1940 Ford deluxe 2 dr sedan.

Here is an old interesting photo.
Motorcycle is a 1931 or 1932 Harley VL.
There are six men in the photo, three in uniform, I think all are police forceing a woman into the back seat of a phaeton.
Sun is high, check shadow on front door.
Who can id the car ?
Any idea what is going on here ?

Looks like a 40 Chevrolet!
November 1942 Detroit Michigan
Summer weeds are dead
The U.S. Office of Price Administration (OPA) rationed gasoline on May 15, 1942 on the east coast, and nationwide that December to assist in the war effort, which had caused massive shortages of gasoline.

Why would a 40 Chevrolet have a Ford banjo steering wheel with V8 logo on the horn button? Also why the Ford logo on the speedometer? I suspect it is around a 39 Ford with the windshield opening handle.

The 64 dollar question is,why do they have the hood off,when it's sitting on the side of the road?

It is LAPD for sure.. notice the airvents in the service caps.. and the motor officer is wearing a crusher cap with the distinctive LAPD walking bear hat piece. Also, motor officers in this era wore green & tan uniforms.. even though they worked the same police department.. it was a holdover from when the CHP came into existence in the late 1920's.
