Greetings, tire kickers! I’m your host Dave Burge, noted longtime internet rando and automotive enthusiast, coming at you from Austin TX and occasionally Chicago IL. This site is a curated compendium of the very best content from Dave’s Car ID Service on Twitter (where I post as @iowahawkblog), featuring wonderful old timey family album pictures from around the world and my attempts to identify mystery cars therein. It will also have tips and tricks for IDing old cars, old car photos by Yours Truly from my extensive personal collection, and miscellaneous car related ephemera. Best of all this site is certified 100% politics free.
