A friend of mine found this and will put it in the front of his property as yard art. What is it?

A rusty old car body with juice brakes.

This should be in the Off Topic forum.

Well its old and rusty ad it look like somebody already messed with the roof.  Did he look for serial number plates on the door posts?  Just thinking its a late 20's early 30's higher priced deal.

I guess......... it is an old car...and an invitation for a visit from the local yard Nazis

Junk?

[pflaming]

Well, he and a few of his friends think it's a late 30's vintage Dodge.

[Young Ed]

It is most certainly not late 30s. It is most certainly 20s or very early 30s.

The beltline on the doors doesn't match the rest of the body so, I think you probably have a "mutt" there

[Scruffy49]

Somebody's unfinished rod project from a long time ago based on the cobble job roof panel and mismatched doors. Have him check the framing around the rear window cut out, most manufacturers back then has some identifying stampings/castings in the metal that the wooden body framing was nailed to. There should also be a body plate somewhere in the cowl or on the firewall, probably rotten zinc by this point in time.

 

Doors. cowl and hood scream 28 Studebaker, body belt line looks like 28 Packard, but the rear side windows are wrong for either make.

   No identity, but around here its worth ten cents a pound.
