    Looks like a Model 60 looking at the oil fill tube. The serial number stamped on the engine will tell, look at the left side under the head and behind the water pump. The number will start with a letter

    This 23 Reo has a similar cowl

    The engine is there but the head is off, cleaning off the carbon ?

    Why would someone on this site change out an original light bulb ? I knew someone who spent $100s to have a vacuum tube repaired.

    Photos may help you sell them, even if it just a parts pile.

    The engine would be black with a silver head and probably a Chrysler engine, unless someone put an older engine in it. The Chrysler 4s were only based on the Maxwell design.

    The new price was $10,598 so this car has not lost much in value in his eyes. A 10% servile rate he may be right on maybe 100 left - - - but I would think that the 99 people interested in owning one of these already have one.

    Shop rags were used to quiet down noisy rockers at one of the sleazy used car dealers in my home town. The same one was known to roll back odometers.

    The way the scratches run I think your part may have hung down ,nut side up braced at the slotted holes. Farm / industrial ?

    Look in Hemmings under services, there are a few listings for speaker re coning and repair. The last one I used was on Snelling Ave in St. Paul MN, it may be gone now.

    My "62 D100 had the same style.

    Whatever you have they can be re-coned and / or repaired.

    The knobs do look like the 1960s Dodge trucks. I like the pipe rack on the side.

    I have called some of my cars names, right before I got rid of them. One in particular: a 1966 Comet that the sub-frame pulled away from the firewall on both sides, causing the driveshaft to pop out and lay in the street.

    Maybe the original owner bought it off the showroom floor late in 1978, - - - therefore the car was shown many times and it was a display piece for months.

    Don't feel to bad, I had driven my 1969 Dodge through some tall grass and hit a a short tree stump. And of coarse, I remembered cutting the tree down when the car suddenly stopped. Yup, 3 MPH is enough to do a number on a bumper.

    I too have a hard time reading code.

    Back in the late 70s I had a 55 DeSoto, Some young kids at a local car show asked me what the engine was because they did not see any spark plugs or wires by the exhaust manifold. I told them it was the factory 250 HP diesel.

    I have had it happen with worn timing chains. I also the gear on the bottom of the distributor split on a 1970 Plymouth 225 six cylinder. that really threw the timing off.

    AMC had some reliable cars. The rouged 258 six cylinder was used in everything, drive line parts are common. After the movie "Wayne's World" there is even a group that loves the Pacers.

    It looks almost like a 1927 Olds fender. Anyone have a photo ?
  22. oily rag
    To the best of my limited knowledge when Chrysler did stamp the frame (not always ) it was only in numbers. So in this case the number stamped on the rear left frame horn would start with 211 --- ie letters converted.

    Subaru Brat had a recall on the front fenders. The problem was there was not much to attach the new replacement fenders to. On one truck I pop riveted on a strip of sheet metal to each inner fender and bent it over to bolt it on.
  24. oily rag
    Nope, but I have been working on old cars since the 1960s
  25. oily rag
    I worked on an dirty original un restored 1925, The engine paint looked like instructional green from the syco ward, the pan had some paint on it.
