Subject: What year is this photo from?
Written By: Ryan112390 on 07/14/11 at 12:12 am
I figured some car savvy people might be able to deduce around what year this photo is from due to the make/years of the cars in the photo:

I'm thinking sometime between 1975 and 1980 but I'd love if you guys could help me pin down a more accurate date due to the cars. I'm pretty sure it's the 70s and not the 80s given my father's appearance. But any dates on the cars could help.

It's a tough one ... because I'm an Aussie and we have different vehicles...but, those cars in the pic could be anywhere from 1973 to 1979. Also, not too many people would have had the latest models either.
If I had to guess ... I'd say 1975. Although moustaches (and sideburns) were still popular right through to the early 80's .... :-\\

Well the mustache bit doesn't help cause my dad (the man in the photo) had one until the autumn of 1989. But I know the ABSOLUTE LATEST this photo could possibly be from is 1981. Cause by 1982 he had a beard and his hair was longer and after '82 he kept short hair with a much bigger stache.
So I'm guessing '75-80 but I was hoping the cars would give a closer range. I'll post from some pix from '74, '76, '77 and 1980 for comparison in a bit.

Check the back of the photo for the processing code. There may also be a paper code too.
The car on the right side of your father is a 1971 or 1972 Toyota Corona.

Yes...I thought it was an early model Toyota (or Datsun) ... and factoring that people don't always have new cars I settled for 1975. The other cars on the street also look to be late 60's early 70's as well. Not certain about that van though... :-\\

What would the paper and/or processing code look like?

It's somewhere between 1975 and 1981 if I was to give a range of years.

For its year I'm going with 1974.
Or to be exact: Jun.16, 1974 at 2PM.
No wait...make that: Jun.16, 1974 at 1:45PM.

Out of boredom over the weekend I copied this picture and shown it to a guy I work with.
Unfortunately the picture that was copied is missing the furthest car on the same side so
he didn't see that one but the ones he did see.
Across the street is a mid 70's Dodge Van and behind that is a 1977 Plymouth Volare.
The two green cars are imports, probably (as already stated) early 70's Toyota or Datsun.
The car behind the tree is more than likely a 1966 Pontiac Bonneville.
