F&J Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 The unique metal stampings of the box and it's lid, were used on factory built "mixed-makes". The decorative things like side leather handles, and shape of the plated trim were different from make to make. The trunk came in two types: The one shown for sale here has a solid back panel. The other style had a drop down back panel, to give more access besides the lifting top lid. I have one of each; one came with my car, and other I found at a yard sale 30 years ago. My 32 Nash convertible has the one with drop panel because mine has sidemounts. If my car had a rear spare, it would use the solid back because the tire was mounted behind it. The Nash 2dr conv sedan has that trunk bolted solid into the extended rear frame apron panel. The apron panel has a recessed spot at front corners, that matches the exact curves of the base of the trunk. Most that I have seen here on AACA, have side leather handles, including my Nash. Some might think it is a generic trunk. But take a look at the top lid; it is sloped. Most other car trunks don't have that sloped lid. All of the ones I have seen are factory wood bottom panel. There were twin locks at the chromed strips. The strips are chrome over aluminum-like material The "all" grey car below shows why a drop panel was used, as it gives access better if the roof is down. .

Frank Wilkie Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 Good info. Still for sale. I'm selling for a friend of mine. I think $45 is a cheap price. Still good Rat Rod material as is.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 It will sell, but without being able to ship you are eliminating a huge part of the market. I would bet it would bring your price at a garage sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Wilkie Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 may try that if I don't sell in a month. I thought that someone passing through this area might pick it up for someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
