Hey I found this in a ad, under frame for sale; possible lasalle, possible 1934. No ***le What you see us what you get.
Looks to be 34 Plymouth. They had the IFS that year. Not on all models as some still had a solid axle.
check and see if its got dual wheel cylinders up front. i found one just like it in a 1944 army-navy-marine-coast gaurd. auto mechanics course 5 ch***is book, page 18 fig. 15. says its an Oldsmobile and has a faint picture of the grill, looks like 1933 or 1934. actually i think 33 is leaf up front, so im going to say 34.
We know it's not a 34 olds, because the mystery frame is straight, not tapered...and that its' really close, because the rest of it look so similar.
It aint fare from it, i'm pretty its the one. I think it has a taper to it, but I haven't seen it in person. I'm trying to get a hold of the guy, and see if he will swap it for an old Volvo I have. What does you mean, not traditional? In my book traditional is using time/era specific parts, and built like they did. Use what you got and keep cost down on the non-go parts. I find it hard to believe that if one guy finds a 20$ car, and wants to butcher it for and bad *** mill/******, and afterwords just throws it out :-O I bet he tryes to sell it on to another broke hot rodder, who wants something different and cheap. Is it hard to find a ***le for an car in the US? If we don't have a ***le from the last country, its hard to get it licensed again.
Ignore the traditional police. It's just that person's opinion. One clue that will help ID it is the wheelbase, also maybe look it over for a serial number - front right frame rail on top, rear right frame rail on the side, front crossmember, etc. -
No, no updates yet. But I got a new job, that is about 10km from the guy selling, so I still thinks about it! I will go have a look at it soon
