early Ford tin ID help.

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by BROCK ART STUDIO, Jan 25, 2011.

  1. Yesterday, I go for a hours drive, following up on a lead for a 3 window Coupe.
    I find it, it is a 29 Pontiac 3 window, very solid, pretty straight.
    I buy it , and all the surrounding rusty 20's & 30's tin.

    The pic of the 20's stuff, was "stuffed" inside the Poncho.
    Anybody help id this early stuff? look close at the lower rockers, makes it look like it was a Coupe. but the door lowers are different. The sill plates may or may not be for it . They have Ford script on them.

    SO, here I am , wandering home with rusty junk, and I come across a guy with a truck and trailer load m heading for the scrapyard.
    I pulled out 3 cowls. I believe the 2 Fords are early 30 and late 30.
    The doors on the left one were 28"s wide, the door for the right one was 29" wide???

    The roadster cowl ... I need help with. anty ideas ??


    I was told the Coupe rear quarters were Crysler.

    Thanks , Jeff Brock

    That look like a Dodge roadster cowl.
     
  3. Cowls are 4 door Murray body cowl (back). 30-31 Model A (Middle). '26 Chev roadster/tourer cowl (front).
     
  4. Did you run off with the early Caddy engine that the rear 1/4 is sitting on in the photo?


    .
     
  5. Thanks ... so far.

    Was Murray associated with Ford? the reveals are identical.

    How about the 20's tin?

    * 4T6 : The Cadi / rear quarters are at my studio. I have a lot of early Cadillac engines.
     
  6. UGH, I need a Chevrolet cowl like that one in front!!!

    the back cowl is 28/29 ford model a murry body 4 door cowl. They look like a 30-31 but the fire wall is a 28-29. they were only on 4 doors and they are ford model As, also Briggs made the same style I believe. The middle cowl is a 30-31 ford model A cowl and the front is as stated above. The quarter panel you have pictured is not ford. I know that. I think it is chevrolet but I could be wrong
     
  8. OK. I checked the internet for Murray. I KNEW that one! {obviously, I'm not a Ford man}

    I'm hoping someone can shed some light on the 20's tin!

    I am pretty sure thats from a center door sedan
     
  11. Crotex, {just because it's fun}I spent a good hour or so, online, with just the 20's tin. It doesn't really match up with anything I found, early T, center door sedan included?
     
  12. any new help on the 20's tin and coupe quarters?
     
  13. I'm wondering if the doors, etc are from a T "Doctor's Coupe/Couplet"? Here's a 1915 example:

  14. Mac, I think your right. The front, full length "A" pillars {laying in between the doors in pic} are the tell tale, for a pre 15 T Doctors Coupe.
    It also appears pre 15 had the single reveal, body line , instead of the double yours has.

    ...there are more peices to retrieve, that were frozen in the ground.
