    You mean this panel truck?
    [​IMG]
    Looks to be a 37-38 Dodge with a nose of a 36-37 Cord.
    Windshield looks to be Cord too.
    I don't think its photoshopped, but a vintage custom?

    It looks like it has Cord front wheels as well. I wonder if that means they used the FWD power-train as well. Something is "off" about the hood and top nose and the light covers look too small. If it isn't photoshopped, I'd be curious to know more about it.

    Could this be a Graham Paige ? I know they made panel trucks for a while.

    As far as I know it was not photo shopped. The picture appeared in the March 2008 issue of Hemming's Classic Car in the Lost And Found Section.

    Here is a response I got from Daniel Strohl from Hemmings Classic Car regarding the picture;

    Jim-

    In studying that photo and photos from Crismon's book on International
    trucks in our library, I can see the resemblance of the windshield, the
    small peak above the windshield and the contour of the roof to an International truck.

    But (and I apologize for the quality of the photo in the magazine; I've
    attached a larger version of the photo) if you look at the contour line
    that flows along the rockers, over the rear wheel well and back toward
    the rear bumper, that's the exact same line used on Dodges of that era.
    Also look at the belt line, which is actually a thick band with the door
    handle in the center of the band, a feature of Dodge trucks of the time,
    but not of International trucks.

    Quite possibly the same shop that fitted the Cord front clip also sliced
    the top from an International delivery and planted it on a Dodge
    delivery?

    Thanks for keeping us on our toes.

    Dan

    If you count the lovers, I believe it has eight. The Cord Custom Beverly had eight, Other Cords only had seven. It's definitely NOT a Graham-Paige.

    Wow, thanks for the info from Hemmings. I think on close examination that someone has used a pen or something to make an outline of the headlight covers and that is why they look small. I can see on the driver's side that the real headlight cover outline can be faintly seen outside the drawn ones.

    I looked at a recent photo I took of an 810 sedan that I took and the lights are definitely larger.

    Any LICENSE-PLATE EXPERTS out there who can nail down the year and state of the plate? Or, at least take a WAG?

    I swear the last few letters of the Cord tag are "LAND", as in "Maryland".

    I found some comments on the ACD club site that said it was in service at one time in the Baltimore, MD area and was built by a company that made Cord parts. There were also further comments that the truck portion was a 37-8 International. It has apparently been mentioned a couple of times in Hemmings but so far no one seems to have come up with a lot of information or what happened to it.
