simon cowl...??????

no it's a dodge brothers dual cowl vent.

 

its a suicide door cowl whatever it is

 

Looks to me like an old "Bantam Coupe" cowl.

 

Never noticed the suicide door aspect till now. It could be '32 Essex, based on the size.

 

32 Hudson has the twin cowl vents, Suicide front doors on the coupes, and the sweeping A pillar body line.

1931 1/2 Hudson Club Sedan is my guess. I can't find a pic of the dash to verify it though.

I was thinking Buick, but the suicide doors are throwing me

 

yeah, Hudson

i changed my mind..it's chrysler

pic to follow

 

I believe 32 dodge's have the two cowl vent's and they had suicide doors!It was either the trunk model coupe that had suicide doors or the rumble seat coupe i can't remeber but my buddy has one right now!

 

not Chrysler---see the windshield is 2 panels on the chrysler, and not the cowl in question. Also the cowl lamps are in the wrong area

 

Not Essex or Chrysler that body line is to fat. It is Hudson!

Here is a picture of one I just sold for a local guy.



Zoom in on the cowl side and look at the light hole location and shape they are the same as the one in the picture he posted of the cowl side with the light mounting location and shape.

 

Best that I can do
