The ages and distance moduli for the old open clusters NGC 2204, Berkeley 39, NGC 2477, and Melotte 66 are constrained by comparing the observed cluster color-magnitude diagrams to theoretical models developed by Bertelli et al. (1994, A&A, 106, 235). For each cluster, a best fitting model is selected based not only on the match to an observed color-magnitude diagram but also on the isochrones agreement with adopted values of the cluster's metallicity and reddening. Based on the best fitting models, NGC 2204 is 1.6(+0.9}_{-0.3) Gyrs old with (m-M)_o = 13.0(+0.5}_{-0.4) , Berkeley 39 has an age of 6(+2}_{-1) Gyrs with (m-M)_o = 12.9+/-0.2, NGC 2477 is 1(+0.3}_{-0.2) Gyr old with (m-M)_o = 10.5(+0.4}_{-0.3) , and Melotte 66 has an age of 4+/-1 Gyrs with (m-M)_o = 13.2(+0.3}_{-0.1) . Using the same data, we have begun an examination of the cluster luminosity functions and density profiles.
