Looks like a 34 Dodge convertible sed

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsWn0SzhKHQ This North PA farm auction just turned up, starting on the 12th, lots of cars, video taken by a couple of Ford hot rodders, mix of stuff, parts cars and nice newer cars, but includes a handful of what look like VERY NICE Reattas that were saved/stored by this guy. Not what either I or the video folks were looking for but should be just what the Reatta crowd likes. Enjoy, they are scattered throughout the video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsWn0SzhKHQ LARGE collection of cars, parts cars to very nice, Model As, 34 Studebaker, 63 T-Bird, a BUNCH of what looks like brand new Buick Reattas (not what these guys were looking for but if that is your thing...), couple of nice 40 Chevrolets (restorable project cars), etc., etc. Think it is going to be multiple auctions, starting on May 12.

https://www.estatesales.net/TN/Mount-Juliet/37122/3619707 Sorry for the late notice on this, just saw it, 35 Buick coupe project, loads of Buick and other vintage car parts, LaFayette grille, fantastic array of old school tools, machinery, ephemera, etc. If it wasn't in TN I would be there trying to get the small table lathe. Started today, runs through the weekend. Wish I could go!!

One thing I forgot to mention in my 'Newly Listed' approach is you can see in the listing when the item is posted. If you know the last time you searched, you need only go back to that time/date and you are assured of catching everything 'Newly Listed' that meets your search terms.

I feel your pain. Amazing how many Mitsubishi half shafts turn up in my searches for mid-30s Mopars. Not much help, but the only way I seem to be able to plow through and find parts is to search with 'Newly Listed' first and simply search once per day. Lot of effort and sometimes there are 100s of items not even remotely related to my search, but only thing that seems to work. It allows one to stop searching when your start to see stuff you saw the day before.

You are welcome. SMB

Here is one from a supplier I just randomly pulled off the internet. https://dcmclassics.com/body-parts/48-b-235-hood-props-pair.html

These are late 30s and I think into the 40s Dodge trucks. Check out the Power Wagon parts suppliers, I think they stock them. Work on most split type hoods, particularly on those where the Ford aftermarket/street rod types don't work because the Ford radiator support rods are so close together. These work independent of one another, one on each side.

Why would someone want to sell their Willy?

Need to correct my last statement: Many of the larger 35 second series Dodge Trucks did go to the new style cab. The Panels and commercial sedans stayed with the old 'suicide' style doors.

Agree totally. Sure, there are some total clusters being built but there is also a wealth of information that can be garnered from some of these 'non-stock' builds. For example, I watch regularly the postings on YouTube by 'Iron Trap Garage' in PA, who specializes in building 40's through early 60's style Ford hot rods. While modified, they show respect for the history of the cars, both stock and modified. I have learned more about metal shaping and fabrication from that show than perhaps any other around, skills that translate into the building or restoring of any vehicle. Keep an open mind folks, you never know what you will learn.

Here are some photos of the documents referenced.

OK, I went through all of my Dodge Truck documentation (wow, I didn't realize how much of it I have...) which is focused on my 34 KCL panel but covers the KC Commercial Express as well. Agree with you on the May 1935 date but I think I have it dialed in a little bit closer. All of the 1934 KC Express advertising and documentation shows the suicide/first series doors. This continues through a January 1935 full color brochure, Form K-8. A similar full color brochure from May 1935, Form K-30, shows the second series doors on the Express. I also have a large 'How American Business Saves Money with Dodge Trucks' multi-page brochure from February 1935, form K-23, which also shows suicide/first series doors on the KC Express. Finally, I have a Ross Roy Comparative Handbook for the various Dodge Trucks and commercial vehicles, and the pages devoted to the KC Express are specifically dated 3/1/35 and show suicide/first series doors. Best guess? Change was made sometime between March and May 1935. I have a vague recollection of hearing from somebody or reading that the change was in April 1935, but I cannot locate any specific printed reference supporting that. In addition, I note that I have a small volume that also covers the Commercial Express models, 'Instruction Book for Dodge Commercial Cars, (Codes KC-KCL) After Serial Number 8,048,701' that states it is a 'First Edition--May, 1935'. That serial number matches up with the second grouping of KC/KCL serial numbers I discussed in my earlier post, so it seems to make sense that this 'First Edition' of May 1935 was to cover the 'new', second series vehicles. I have a November 1935 Dodge Trucks Parts Buyers Guide that also shows numerous instances where the 8,048,701 serial number was the transition point for many parts (radiator, etc.). What also needs to be recognized is that the Commercial Express was the only model of the 1935 Dodge commercial cars and trucks that got the new doors--all of the remaining models, from the Commercial Sedan through the Commercial Panel and up through the big trucks kept the suicide doors until the '1936' models were introduced in December of 1935. Let me know if you want any photos of any of this documentation. SMB

They were EVERYWHERE in San Diego when I was growing up in the 60s and early 70s. Coming home from a late night beer party at the beach in Crown Point with my then girlfriend/later to become wife in about 1971, I had to stop and check out/climb into a mid-20s Studebaker touring that was parked alongside a closed gas station. My wife should have learned her lesson then... .

I have a fairly complete set of Dodge Truck parts lists for 34 and 35 that I have used in chasing down information and parts for my late 34 KCL panel. These include the following: --Publication D-3416, 'Dodge Trucks Parts List, 1934 and 1935 Model Series, Trucks Built from January, 1934 to June, 1935...Issued June 15, 1935'; --Publication D-3553, 'Dodge Truck Parts List, 1935 Model Series, Trucks Built After June, 1935...Issued September 1, 1935'; and --Publication D-8576, 'Dodge Truck Master Parts List, for All Models--1929 to 1939 (inclusive)'...Issued August 15, 1939' [3 volumes]. All of these are original and complete, with the sole exception of page 1 of D-3416, which lists the various models and serial numbers. This information is contained, however, in the other volumes. These list a Detroit KC 'First' serial number of 8023001 with a 'Last' Detroit serial number of 8048626. First and Last KC serial numbers for the Los Angeles plant are listed as 9202001 and 9203885. However, there is a separate listing that shows a later KC with a Detroit First serial number of 8048701 and a Last number of 8072550. First and Last numbers for Los Angeles are listed as 9203901 and 9206587 Note that there is no breakdown between KC and long wheelbase KCL models (such as my Los Angeles built KCL panel), so there does not appear to be a way to determine the exact number of KC models produced, although it must be less than the span between the First and Last serial numbers. From the folks I have spoken with over the years, I am not aware of any source of this specific statistic, which of course does not mean that it does not exist. If you review the difference in part numbers for the effected parts between the First Series (suicide doors) and Second Series, it appears that the break at 8048701 represents the 'break' between the two Series. The D-8576 list shows what it refers to as the 'Starting Engine Number' for the first serial number group as "T5-1001" and "T12-1001" for the second serial number group, which is probably one of the numbers that appear on the firewall plate. There is an earlier number break (which appears to be from late 1934) which represents the change from the 33 HC/34 KC dash instruments (which are similar but not exactly the same as the 33 Dodge car) to the '35 style', three round gauge dash that did appear on the First Series and later KC models. That reference appears to be specific to the instrument cluster change and does not appear to be as widespread as the break at 8048701, which I believe is the serial number break between the First and Second Series KC models in 1935. What is clear is that by the June 1935 date, the Second Series was being produced. I do have some experience with these KC/KCL models but I am by no sense the absolute authority, which I assume rests with someone in the Dodge Brothers club. Just hope this helps narrow it down. As to which parts fit both models, I think the only way this can be done is by checking the part number for the specific part in question (e.g., fender, etc.) and see if it changes between the 34-35 KC parts book and the June 35 KC parts book. Good luck with your research and keep us advised!

Nice Graham sedan at 18:30. Whole yard looks like where 4-door sedans go to die.

Day is not all bad: My parents are celebrating their 72nd weddiing anniversary today.

That is a mid-thirties Mopar style part number. Looked it up and 669674 is a right side running board, in primer, without a mat, for a 1937 C14 Chrysler. The left side would be 669675.

The 33 Plymouth PD did have trumpet horns available, I believe as an option or as part of a trim group. Here are a couple of photos from a September 2018 Hemmings article about the PD. Note these are not DeSoto, which had a different bracket and totally different trumpets, see attached photo.

Probably Klaxon 26 for a 1933 Plymouth. Wrong bracket for a 34.

The 3 with the headlight mounting boss to the rear of the mount are 34 Plymouth, some with and some without the hole in the side for the accessory trumpet horns. The one without the side hole is probably for a PF or PG with the old style horn under the hood. The one with the headlight mounting boss to the front of the mount and the lower bead that wraps up the front of the mount is a 34 Dodge.
