    The firewall doesn't have the indentation for the six cylinder,that would be on a Chevy body,but it sure looks similar in the side view.Maybe Buick or Pontiac?

    The windshield opening shows notches for hinges so it had a roll-out windshield. I'm going to say 35-36 Plymouth or Dodge. The dual round ended data plates on the firewall are like all MoPaR tags I remember seeing.

    It's identical to my '38 Plymouth. Firewall indentions, body lines, on the body and on the rear fender, everything. Same dash and seat frame too. Definately '38 or 39 Mopar.

    The '38 was notched for some reason, but didn't have a roll out windshield. I have a friend with a '36 and the body is not the same.

    It looks like similar to my '39 plymouth. Especially the way the doors are. Was the front end near by? Either way dig it out and save it.

    looks to be a 37 ply or dodge. The top of my 36 plymouth is squared off.

    pic is of my 36

    37, 38 and 39 Plymouth, Dodge and DeSoto bodies were all very similar. I think 39 had a "vee" widshield though. 39 also had independant front suspension and column shifter.

    Looks like it might be salvageable as a vintage stock car racer body.

    Looks like 37 Mopar, has the swing out windshield. Does it have the quarter window moldings or rear window molding? I need these for my coupe.

    Thanks guys, I guess i should have looked at the body tag. The other thing i noticed this car has a slant on the rear part of the door by the quarter window and these cars are straight.... Anybody want this thing cuz i think i can get it for little or nothing. Its half burried so i could just cut off the quarter panel cuz that would be a lot of diggin for some pitted up metal. There was no window garnishings in it. Thanks again for the help.

    I'm also interested in what the firewall tags have on them. I have a 36 dodge pickup with similiar tags and thought they might have been made and installed by the previous owner.
