Unidentified American car in UK scrapyard

Nice weather , a few days off work so i decide to check out an old scapyard near me in the UK which shut it's doors over 20 years ago.
spotted this American straight 8
Anyone know what it is ?
(it's the second car in the 1st photo )

 

What car?????????????

 

Well its a valve in block so that rules out Buick. Pontiac would be my best guess.

 

Hudson and Packard also had flathead eights in the late 30's thru the late 40's.

 

as did Chrysler, but that's no Chrysler

 

Didn't think of Packard, the body doesn't seem to have the Hudson "hump" but it's hard to tell. The rotten air cleaner might be a clue. Looks like it went across the motor and was on the left side.

 

Ok so i admit there is'n a lot left of the straight eight
so whats this pickup then

 

the engine above is a hudson 254.

info from a Packard guru and former HAMBer.

 

there are two complete cars in this picture

AND you'll need a helicopter to collect it

 

Ran when parked.

 

the pick up looks like a bedford to me

 

"Rust Free"


'Cause I'm not gonna charge you for the rust

Cosmo

 

Easy fixer upper. Just don't have the time. Would sell for 60k + at Barrett-JAckson.

 

looks like an old Dodge...

 

yard art?

 

Dang, beat me to it!!!!

 

"Great Rat Rod material"

 

Will need just a little work to get running.

 

Don't they call those rat rods? ...I think....

 

"No,son, I plan on making that a pebble beach contender one day.
After all, I'm only 88 years old."

 

Here is a bike for sale. Ran when I parked it under a tree for protection.

 

... that's that thar FO-patina!

 

well, it proves one thing; when an Englishman says "Junkyard" he MEANS JUNK YARD. however, to some Brits, that pile 'o crap is a diamond in the rough. only Brits can pick up an emblem off of a hubcap tomorrow and have built a complete car around it by Labor day.

 

Just a week or two from being an OlSkooooooolRodzzzzzzz cover car.

 

In my opinion, it's a Kinardly.

("kin hardly" tell what it is...or used to be)

 

I agree with that. Looks like a mid 60's J3.

 

Bedford JO, i think looking at the front wings very similar cab to the Chevrolet AD pick up ( there,s one near me it looks the same but there are differences)

 

That will buff out!

 

well thats a challenge
