Anyone know what car this is? Pretty sure it is or was a real car because there is another drawing just like this of an old Bentley. Reminds me of an old Dusenberg, but I don't think it is. Coach built maybe?

Thanks,

C

Knowing Geo Ham though, I don't think he would draw just any generic old car. He usually did cars that caught his eye. This drawing is from the late 20s or early 30s.

The top of the hood/rad seems to be a little square for a Duesenberg, and the hood venting is wrong. This could probably be built with more common body parts. I was thinking that the hood might have to be scratch built to get the louvers right, but the rad and cowl could come off another big car... something like a Moon or a Buick from the early 20's. Those sloping fenders would have to come off of something much later, maybe early 30's unless you have some from the Bentley in your spare parts pile.
