I'm stumped ! What did I find?

A friend took me way out in the middle of no where to show me a car - he thought it was a 34 ford ( he's not a car guy ) - It is not a ford and I am guessin late 20's but That where the guesses run out ? The body is similar in width to a 26-27 T just not as tall - it has sucide doors .. no markings at all Anyone know what this is ?

This sis the front crossmember - notice the beadwork by hood latch

This is just a cool picture

I can go pick it up but it's gonna be rough to get at. It's in real rough terrrain

 

Go get it....maybe Essex? Chevrolet? Dodge? There's so many that all look similar back then.

Make the effort to get it out.

 

Mastergun, it looks like you found an Essex, probably around a 1928. I have the cowl section of one in my yard and its the same as in your picture. Mitch.

 

I am planning on getting it, just gotta round up some help. It is real straight, a couple small rust outs. I don't need another project but maybe someone does.

 

Paralell leaf springs, all metal doors, indent in the firewall, probably for a six, no visible wood, looks like an early dodge.

 

I say Dodge.

Why are you pokin at it with a stick? It wont bite.

 

It does have paralell leafs. Almost no wood . Very solid construction, It has a visor that was in it.

 

It has nice lines , but it's way small

 

OK after I heard essex several times I googles 1928 essex , I zoomed in on the section where he cowl and windsheild meet, and it;s a match.

 

Incredible.

I have never seen a car in a remote location without bullet holes in it. Wow.

B.

 

It's almost to remote for some drunk jack ass to shoot it up

 

Im always wrong.

 

You're closer than 34 ford touring car !

 

i have a 4X4 wrecker
to bad you are to far away

 

The Essex frame has a nice kickup in the rear, many were used to build dirt track race cars, what we call Sprint Cars today. Bob

 

Very cool and that would be something different than anybody else has. Looks to be in pretty good shape too! Good find.

 

what's been cut out of the door. fresh torch cuts looks like.

 

Looks like a solid start to a nice project if you ask me.

 

Thats a great find. Go get it, someone will want it.

 

The pics look that way but no torch cuts maybe its old rubber idk

 

Definately essex....

 

snag that sucker! and drop it off in my front yard

 

do you deliever to Tx? lol

 

take a look at front fenders,i think essex had more beading.i'm not positive.a guy in nevada gave me a 4dr,i looked at a lot fo pics then.but that was 4 years ago.i never picked it up because there werent any doors.last year for christmas my son from nevada,gave me a door with art work cut into it.think it came from the same car at another time.that one had 4 suicide doos,double body beads

 

...so you mean it DOES bite?

 

I know most of us don't need additional projects, but as I tell my wife. some things need to be saved. That is why I am knee in my project.

 

Looks like a 1927 chevrolet. The 2 holes be the "A" pillar look to be mounting holes for the running lights. Here is my 27. But its just a guess.

That's amazingly straight! Post up some pictures of the retrieval process. Excellent find

 

Great find. Looks like it is in really good shape. I can see that making a really nice hot rod. Good luck getting it out.

I wonder what is the guy with the small stick trying to achieve? Something already claimed ownership???

 

I gotta get me one of those old car devining rods like you were using in that pic!
