    It's faint in the photos...but notice on the cowl top there's a distinctive curved/sweeping bodyline.
    I've looked here & in all my old car books & a large pile of old magazines... No luck yet..

    Other Dodge!
    Maybe a design the Dodge Brothers came up with but they were not sure about, so they hired the guy down the street to build 5 proto-types, just to test the waters. They let him put his name on the 5 proto-types.

    There were only 300-400 car builders before the Great Depression wiped them out, shouldn't be hard to find the builder that built the 5 proto-types. LOL!

    Or it could be a '32 Willys Knight Pickup truck. Either way, it's an early 30's Willys.

    The HAMB never ceases to amaze me! Imagine if we branched out to other areas of interest like medical diagnoses, prehistoric animals, inter galactic locations and civilizations.... the world would be a truly educated place!
