Don Coatney Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 A rusty old car body with juice brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg g Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pflaming Posted August 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Well, he and a few of his friends think it's a late 30's vintage Dodge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 It is most certainly not late 30s. It is most certainly 20s or very early 30s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40plyrod Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 The beltline on the doors doesn't match the rest of the body so, I think you probably have a "mutt" there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruffy49 Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 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.
