Was a late nite working at my shop trying to get a customers race car cage finished , stopped to take a break ...there where a couple of boys outside checkin out my 37` one had a flat bike tire ...I tryed to air up the tire , the tube was shot ....anyway we got to talkin about old cars and the oldest boy said his grampa had some old school rods for sale ....long story short I went out and looked , this is one of the cars he had lying around his shop can any one tell what year and make of 5 window it is animal and I dragged it back to my shop , not in bad shape ..........
Couldn't tell much by those photos but it isn't Ford or GM(not wood-structured). That leaves about 150 + makes which were being produced here in the 1928-31 era, my guess for the period of this body. The giveaway will be the body beading and that step-back cowl over the firewall and that unusual round bottom cornered windshield).
I reckon that is a 29 Dodge coupe with the all metal Budd body. The thing that clinched it for me is the fuel gage as I've got a Dodge fuel tank on my T-Bucket and the gage is identical. Someone on here posted pics of one recently, he knew what it was so a search may find the post to confirm it. swifty
