    Fairly sure the grille shell is from a '28 Chevy car, the doors I would have guessed were early T 4 door sedan fronts and not coupe, but I'd need a measurement to know for sure.

    WTF really likes this.
  5. I agree...the doors look too skinny to be from a T coupe and look to be 4 door sedan fronts. The grille also looks to be 28 Chevrolet.

    I was gonna guess the doors were 26-27 fordor fronts. Did the 25 have all steel inside like these?

    Thanks everyone for the super fast identification....the doors are 24 1/4 " wide....give or take a little bit for one handed measuring and bending over with coffee in other hand...came in a car purchase lot...41 ford business coupe ? It's cool ...but just gonna store car for now...
