    A 1930 V-8 Series 353 didn’t use the fake covers. And the 1932 V-8 Series 355B didn’t either. There are a bunch of other things…….but the cover is most obvious. I have owned more than a dozen 1931 Caddy Series 355A cars over the years.

    Thanks Ed!  Always good to learn a little from those who know.

    It’s absolutely a 1931 Cadillac Series 355A engine, produced from September 1930 to March 15 1931………..give me the serial number, and I can give you the day it was assembled.

    Ed, 

     

    What are the visual cues that distinguish the 355A from the 353 in the picture? Thanks!

  3. Fred,  are you looking just for rims (hoops) and if so, what spoke gauge and count, and what width?  If you're looking for complete wheels,  what type?  Dayton?  Buffalo?  Rudge?

    If one of those,  what size/type center?  

  4. Thanks to the knowledgeable members of this forum,  this has been identified as a 1933 Dodge/ Plymouth sedan windshield frame, and also fits some '34 Plymouth and commercial models.  I can send lots of pics and measurements to anyone who needs them.  Will include the 1 windshield slide arm that's still on the windshield plus 3 others,  one of which is bent.  No rot through or soft spots that I can see anywhere.  Looks to be a good solid windshield frame.  

     

    Will add more pictures in another post.

    I believe that is an exception.  The PG was released as a 'cheapo' 34 Plymouth.  It had no glove box in the dash, no chrome headlights and also no independent front suspension (using instead a beam axle).  I will look a little further but the attached purports to be a PG coupe and the swing out side windshield brackets can be seen in the photo.  There were only coupes and 2-door sedans made (with a handful, I believe about 20) four-door sedans.

    Thanks again for the great info!

    Like a lot of other things, it depends.  The commercial sedan (what a lot of folks call a sedan delivery) has basically the same front sheet metal in 34 as it had in 33 and as the regular 33 sedans.  Same with the pickups, what Dodge called an 'express'.  Note, however, that the doors on the express were slightly different than the sedan and coupe door in that the upper rear corner of the door is rounded off while the non-commercial doors were squared off.  On the non-commercial models, while the cars look very similar, there are huge, subtle differences between the 33s and the 34s, including the wheelbase (and, therefore, front fender length), slope of the front windshield and shape/slope of the front of the front doors, etc. 

    Thanks for the info!

    This fits 1934 Plymouth PG series sedan

     

    Does the '34 PG not have the center regulator?

    Does look like a 33 Plymouth or Dodge sedan windshield frame.  Not 34 because those had a center, roll-out mechanism.  Also looks like a sedan because the coupes are not that high.  For example, on a 34 Plymouth, the sedan is 11 3/4" high at the center, while a coupe (measured on my 34 Dodge coupe) is only 10 3/4" high at the center.  My 34 Dodge panel, which should be the same as a 33 sedan, measures about 11 3/4" to 12" high at the center (hard to get at it... .)  Hope this helps.

    Perfect,  thanks Scott!  This one is just about 11-3/4" at the center. So the '34 commercial vehicles were the same as '33 sedan?  

  8. Type C-2A is an aircraft type fuel filter, available as far back as the early 1930s and used extensively in both aircraft and race cars. 

    The Segal part is a fuel block for multiple carburetor systems.  

    And the last part looks to be a filter/ strainer of some kind, though that's as much as I could say.
