    Here are a bunch of cars I found in a ravine a while back. I want to go back for the Henry J.

    This is the car that is on top of the Henry J, what kind of car is it? The car in the lower right hand part of the picture that is upside down is a two door Pontiac with a straight 8 engine in it

    That Henry J is one of the best bodies I've ever seen!
    The P-15 46-48 Plymouth body is the black one and the last pic shows the interior of it or one like it. Be darned careful moving that, it is HEAVY.
    The white car is a 37-38 Hudson Terraplane.
    The rusty 4door in the wash is a late 40s Hudson Wasp or Hornet.
    The T ch***is are 26-27, note ears on rear crossmembers.

    The pic that you asked "what kind of car is this?" looks to be a 37-38 Dodge or DeSoto
     
  15. PM me if you want to know what to cut out of that Hudson, lot of parts they don't repop for those. Henry J body doesn't look bad, around here usually you pull one end, they collapse.
