What body is this

[pbotsonis]

I'm new to the site and I hope this is the correct place to post this. I bought this front half of a car not to long ago. It was part of a "package deal" and came with some other stuff I bought. Can anybody tell me what they think the cowl is off of? If you guys can tell me what it's worth as well that would be awesome.


I'm sorry, but I can't find a way to attach the files. Here is a link to the pics

That's what I thought but I was told that's it's to wide to be a T or an A.

on the drivers side (left) right behind the front cab bolt there will be the identification number if its a model A frame . its on the top of the rail . if you can get to that spot .. I dont know what words to put in to find measurements of the cabs and axles . havnt had no luck with that . but there are some on this site that can find it in about 2 seconds .. my words just havnt pulled any imfo on that up ??? IDK I do know wooden spokes went out in about 27 .. then wire wheels in 28 ,, I think thats on fords anyway .

Doesn't look like a ford cowl to me. The Model T's had a cowl vent and the A's had a gas tank instead. Do you have any side shots of the cowl, to see the body lines?

... I'm not saying positive ID, but the details and windshield hardware are hard to ignore.

I'm pretty sure it's a match. The windshield is the same and the body line under the windshield looks the same. Thank you!!

The dash is even the same.

Any idea of what the whole set up is worth?

you buying or selling

Selling

 

[kenny c]

all you can get. is it registered and titled and in what state? are you selling the whole car or just the body?

No title... Everything shown in the pictures. I believe the grill and headlights are from a 37 Chevy. The steering wheel is pretty cool as well. Someone did a good job keeping a chain round.

I'll probably end up scrapping the frame (I think it's trash anyway since it's cut and probably homemade) and part it out. I just hate to see it go to waste because it looks really cool... Wish I had a big enough shop to wire up the headlights and mount it on the wall...
