    Hey everyone, I found a car in an old farm dump and was able to pull the front grille from it. but after hours of searching, i still cant figure out what it was. it was a four door sedan, and the headlights mount on the side of the grille shell. Thats all i can say about it really, the car was pretty well gutted, had been burned, and was on its roof. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

    Looks like Chrysler or DeSoto to me...could be Plymouth or Dodge...likely about 1937 or so...

    Yeah sure looks like a '37 Plymouth to me.
    But it's not... ;(

    It's a '36 Plymouth.

    EDIT: No it's not that either. The headlights are mounted in wrong place.

    Go back and get the rest of the car, I took a 36 Dodge 4 door and welded up the back doors and windows, and made a fenderless panel out of it, that was one cheap and fun ride. Von Doc

    Thanks everyone! I plan on keeping the grille, it's sadly the only part of the car worth salvaging. The plan is to put it on the front of my 38' chevy pickup rat rod, since I was going to build a custom hood and fenders anyways. Thanks again for the help!
