Kean Thompson Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Among the wealth of knowledge in the AACA, can someome identify these roadster or coupe rear quarter panels? A clue might be the shape of the golf compartment door which does not have square corners.speedster1930@hotmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I'm going to guess 1929 or earlier, since the belt molding doesn't go all the way to the door opening. The golf bag door looks like it has square corners, to me??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Oakland 1926-1927 looks close. Leif in Sweden.Omdirigeringsmeddelande Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest prs519 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 West, do you reckon what got lost in translation is the fact that the golf door is canted from the vertical subtantially. Seems to me it is so profound that is may have been the work of someone rather talented, after the car left the factory. Perhaps something long (like a gun) might be accessed without opening the trunk or rumble.Perry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 This is a 26 Oakland model 6640. It's close but the molding seems to shoot down right behind the door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kean Thompson Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 Thanks for the replies to date. The golf door is definitely not square cornered. The first photo might make you think that but the second one, from true side on, is more realistic. The hole looks VERY factory. If added, it was surely a really neat job but then those skills were quite commonplace back then........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restorer32 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 So the golf bag door is a trapezoid rather than a rectangle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restorer32 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Of course you're right, it's a parallelogram. A trapezoid has 2 parallel sides and 2 sides not parallel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layden B Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 And how many of us have used either of those words since junior high? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restorer32 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I had the trapezoid bone in my thumb replaced 4 weeks ago, last time I used the word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
