Name that cowl!

dug this **** out of the ground the other day before the garbage men were coming to clear the land.....

probably worth nothing, but at the very least i could hang the side on the wall...or something?

there were about 15 or so cars on the property, all had become "one" with the ground, if you know what i mean. i picked though what i could. I know the roof and side are from the same vehicle, but the cowl is not. i am not sure what make, the cowl has no markings at all, not even a beltline, and is rather small.

any guesses?

 

The cowl is pre-'20 Dodge Brothers. Can you show the dash side? After looking again, I'm thinking DB truck not car. The roof and quarter panel are not from the DB. The red car is a VW, probably a squareback, early '70's.

 

haha yes thats my 66 squareback. as for dash side, theres nothing at all, either someone cut the dash panel out or it lost its rivets and the dash got lost.

thanks for the reply

 

Is that a B400 side panel ?

 

Or maybe a '32 Ford Victoria judging by the roof panel.

 

Not an early Dodge. The cowl doesn't come of the door jam.

 

thats what i was thinking too. i have been looking through some pics and cant find anything that has that inswept doorline like this cowl has.

as for the other pieces, 32 vicky may be logical. i just wish the other half of the car was still above ground....

 

May be worth diggin out. who knows how solid it still might be.

 

perhaps ill grab my shovel and tackle that this weekend if I have time. i doubt much is left though, i know for a fact that these cars have been there since about '55

and nature is unkind in the northeast....

 

anyone have any more insight before I head to bed? I'll be sure to snap some more pictures of the remaining hulks, ***uming theyre all still there

 

That cowl is whats left or a late Teens~Early '20s Dodge BIG truck.

I had 2 of them & they both had the Tall part at the windshield like yours & they stopped at the door like that cus there is another part, A 1x2 Wood part wrapped in tin which comes off.

The trucks i swiped mine from had ALOT of wood in the body which isnt like Dodge, But these were wierd alomst like Murry body Fords.

Its Dodge, Just alot of its missing !!

 

I'll buy that!! Are you talking about something like a 2 ton chain drive sorta thing with solid rubber tires?

 

cool, anyone have any pictures or other pertinent info on these beasts?

 

Yes, my neighbor had one just like it he sold at Hershey last year. It's not a screenside. They were sold as cab and ch***is, local Co. built the rest of the body.

 

That is not a 32 Ford Victoria quarters. The 32 Ford vicky has a curved rear like a Model A vicky.

 

thanks all for your input. tomorrow i should have some time to do some more digging in various locations, i'll be sure to post up if anything good comes out
