    Well, the easy to solve that would be to Google 1929 Hudson and see if things jive or don't jive. I think someone on here has the instrument panel in his car similar to what was in the hole in the dash on that one though. It looks like a good start anyhow.

    The visor and header above the windshield do look similar to what was on the Hudson Super six though. But the dash is somewhat different.

    Looks like a 1929-ish Nash, to me. Model 423 or 463 maybe?

  4. well, it ISN'T Jimmy Hoffa ;)

    Darn good looking c-dan however. Stock vacuum wipers and a crank out windshield, pretty cool! I would try and save those funtions.

    Scootermcrad got it right. It is a '29/30/31 Nash.

    Thanks guys for all your help identifying this sedan. I really don't have any plans for the car at this moment, I will probably just sell it and let someone else build it.
