    I dug this out of a draw near my house. Not sure what it is. One friend thought 1935 Studebaker but the dash looks different. One said 1938 Chrylser but the rear quarter windows look a little different. Any help is greatly apprecaited. Somebodys got to know.

    Thanks,

    ryan

    Toyota AA 1937. The only one known to exist is in Russia on a GAZ chassis. Toyota Museum car is a replica

    In pic #3, on the ground to the right of the body shell in question:
    Is that a Columbia two speed rear end?
     
  12. Yep....I agree on the 1935 Nash i.d....it does look like an Airflow, but the fenders on the Airflow don't have the reveal the rear fenders in question have.

    ya, it is a ford Columbia but it has been narrowed but still spins fine. I will need to tear it apart to see what was done. Thanks to everyone for there help. 1935 Nash, I would have never figured this out, at least not easily.

    I noticed a license plate in the shot of the rear fenders ... what year? Just curious about how long this was laying in the ditch.
