The colors and skin tones are good. I tried and failed to identify the green vehicle shown in the second one. That elongated headlight bucket is illusive.

I shot a lot of ASA 10 Kodachrome in the early 1950s. You get used to it. Here's one from 1953.

I can go back quite a ways farther in time. Here's my mom and dad to be, showing us the great problem with ASA 10 (or 8?), motion blur of casual shots, even in bright sun. <http://galleries.moosemystic.net/Mom%20etc./pages/MOM01_01.htm>

OTOH, it blurred out his acne, so visible in some B&W shots. He's seldom caught smiling, as his two front teeth were crooked, slightly overlapping, back then.

It worked better in a posed shot, as of my mother with her parents. <http://galleries.moosemystic.net/Mom%20etc./pages/MOM01_02.htm>

I'd date the photos from about '38 - '40. I know they courted at the SF World's Fair of '39-40, but don't know if it was both years. They married in June, '42, after mom had finished nursing school at UCSF and dad OCS.
