    Hi,
    I bought a mild customised 34 Chevy Roadster. Most of the work was done in the 50s. At least this what I was told (makes a good story too) and this is what most of the parts tell.
    I have a hard time identifying the steering column with shifter. It looks a bit younger than the late 30s Chevy, but different than the later Chevys (they have a screwed little bracket to hold the upper shifter, while mine has a full collar). Probably some other GM cousins? I looked at Pontiac, but they look like Chevy too.
    It‘s linked to a 1950 GMC 270 with trans. Works flawless.

    Any help is welcome.

    Looks like late 30s Chevy. Here’s a picture of a 39 I pulled off the internet

    Here a few pics of the whole car. As said it’s mild custom from the mid 50s. A little pinstriping, shaved door handles heat pleated interior. 1950 GMC with dual zenith carbs over Nicson intake. It’s funny that it has some resemblance with **** Bertoluccis current 1933 Chevy Roadster (yellow/red combination). Although mine looks like a faded early cousin.
