Just acquired some property in a fairly remote area last week. Kids went hiking to see what was out there and came back with the attached two pictures. Any clues as to what it is (or was)? I haven't been that far out to take a closer look, but they 'thought' there were other pieces laying around. Ruled out a pristine 32 roadster. What else you got?
Cowl looks Dodge like, but the beading on the front render doesn't quite jibe. Olds from the late teens early twentys had a similar cowl shape.
Yea, you'd think that beading would be a dead give-a-way, once someone who knows what it is recognizes it.
The rear looks to be an eliptical setup like a mid to late 20s dodge. Example it it would have had a full leaf setup below like a chevy car then a quarter elip that went from the rear of the lower spring to the frame, not the brackret on the frame forward of the rear cross member and what appears to be a leaf spring that extends behind the rear cross member. The cowl resembles a 23 dodge cowl (which would have had that eliptical rear spring setup). The fenders also resemble the 23 dodge fronts and the cowl looks to have been a roadster cowl. Not stationary windshield stanctions like a coupe or sedan and what appears to be a place to bolt stanctions to. As long as the chassis is it may well have been a tub (touring). Never mind the roadster or touring type of windshield stantions are actually there just all bent up.
Take a pic of the dash (if there is one), as that will help with identification, but I agree with PnB- looks like Dodge... seems like a BUNCH of early Dodges keep popping up!
The holes in the crossmember resemble a 1920 Dodge chassis I had. The rails had a very nice shape to them.
It looks a lot like the '23 Dodge touring I had. I'll try to find the pictures of it and post them in here tonight to see if it helps.
Lol, I swear I see Frosty the Snowman nursing a hangover on the front crossmember. Anyways, looks to be 1924-'25 Dodge touring or roadster.
I have a 22 Moon cowl that looks just like that if the holes in the top of the cowl are there to accept the windshield posts as they went through the cowl into a stantion under the dash.
Here are the pics of the '23 Dodge Touring car I had: (more pics in the link) Hope they help. http://s754.photobucket.com/albums/xx186/juiced64/1923%20Dodge%20Brothers%20Touring%20Sedan/
Thats not a '23 Touring .... That Flat top cowl stopped in '21 The fram up to '23 is the same but way different than the one the OP sent pics of. I would guess the OP frame is '24-'27 Dodge ...or Could be Chrysler. Hard to tell from the 2 Fuzzy pics
I am sure the car is a 20s Dodge Brothers. Check the DB on the hubcap. Also, check the generator picture. They used a generator-starter, all in one. I think it was a chain drive starter-gen, as you could hardly hear it turn over. Also, the floor shift transmission shifted backwards. 1st was left and forward, 2nd was right and back and high was right and forward. My Dad had a 1925 Dodge Bros. in the early 40s. I learned to drive in that car. It also had a honeycomb radiator, and rolled on 600x20 tires, with { as I remember} wood spoke wheels, and used a vaccume tank to suck up its gas. I would guess this one at 28 or 29 because of the solid steel wheels.
