    Who else besides Pontiac had an opera window like that?
     
  8. Stude, but later

     
  9. The Hudson & Es*** of that period had a single piano hinge rather than individual hinges.

    Its a Pontiac. It was also a dual sidemount car.

    I could use the A pillars if you dont buy it. I also have all perfect California rust free sheetmetal that is trashed on that one if interested.

    Looking at Yahoo image search of a Pontiac and a Plymouth. Neither seem to have the same windshield post. I tried to post pictures of reach but they were all to big and my free image reducer expired.
     
  12. Rear window looks like Plymouth to me

    Google "1931 Plymouth" You'll find an image with the same firewall. I think those who said Mopar are on the money

    I found it on a car dealers website, he didn't have a price on it. I imagine he wants $300-$700 for it. I found a 34' Chevy 2dr Sedan in Bismarck for $400 and it is in way better shape. I am going to p*** on it but if anyone wants to look over the inventory and the other pics of this one the site is www.glendivesales.com click on collectibles. If anybody wants me to look anything over for them I can, it's about 30 miles from my house.

    Some good steel left there. Someone needs to rescue that Desoto custom.
