I just found photos of a 1917 Model N Touring that sold on BAT a couple of years ago. It has some pretty detailed photos and while I cannot say it's an exact match, some of the details are spot-on like the little parts (I'll call it the hatchet and groove) that fit together when the top is folded down appear to be an exact match.

Straight windshield. They would be straight up and down with front bow pointed straight out. The little clamps have little "nubs" inside that would clamp to a groove or set of divots in the windshield posts. They loosed when the little handle is flipped up and tighten when flipped down. Would love to find someone that needs them and they will be plenty inexpensive.

Fresh out of many years of storage in a dirt-floor shed. I have two mid-thirties Ford spare tire covers. Dirty (I need to wash them!) but solid. Plan to bring to Hershey. $165.00 each or $300 for both.

Seems like we might be closing in on a possible ID so here are a few more pics. I tried to open the bows in a manner that looked like the top is in the UP position. The connections at the top of the windshield are 38 1/4" center to center. Also look for other details..... The irons are in really good condition. The wood is intact but bad in spots. Good for patterns.

By Golly they sure are at least similar to Hupmobile! I even found a photo of a 1917 Model N with that exact same rear window.

They appear to fold in a manner similar to a late teens Buick, Overland or maybe even Maxwell. I was hoping that someone might recognize a feature, such as the way they clamp onto the top of the windshield posts (3rd photo). If I can identify them, I'd like to take them to Hershey and find someone that can use them.

I started loading up too because it looks like September is going to be a busy month. Mainly loaded Model A and T parts with a smattering of early Ford V8 stuff and 4 cylinder Dodge parts. *Model T Wheels, rims, windshields, steering columns, front axles and wishbones, gas tanks, 3-dip oil pan, grille shells, firewalls, radiator, headlights, hood, axle housings, '13-'14 aluminum hogshead, '13-'14 turtle deck, '13-'14 roadster top bows, etc. Might bring some '13-'14 headlamps and side lamps. *Model A Wheels, steering columns, front fenders, NORS rear fenders, dash rails, grille shells, interior window garnish trim, oil pan, manifolds incl. heater manifolds, etc. *Flathead V8 NOS '32-'36 heads, V8 60 manifold, wire looms, 1935 16" wheels, 1933 pickup dash. * Early Dodge 4-cyl oil pan, Carburetors. *Misc. early headlights. *Cadillac "batwing" air cleaner, '66-'76 Bronco grille. Four weeks from this coming Monday! Stop by C4Y 1-4 and say hello!!

I have this Studebaker Windshield I plan to bring to Hershey. Not sure what year it fits exactly. Good glass. $150.00

I was wondering if there is any way to determine what these top bows are off of. I can take measurements if that helps.

I wasn't suggesting that a part be purchased on ebay just because it says it fits. It is possible however that one of the listings may be correct and could be confirmed if the size or part number needed is known.

@TAKerry I just did a quick search on ebay for "1977 Pontiac Trans Am Pilot Bushing" and had 85 results, mostly NOS Dorman branded bushings. Some only list part number but some list ID and OD as well. This listing for example has a .593" ID and a 1.09" OD. Dorman p/n 14650. https://www.ebay.com/itm/195903212301?fits=Submodel%3ATrans+Am|Year%3A1977|Make%3APontiac&epid=169361485&hash=item2d9cbdcb0d:g:z8kAAOSwyV5isiqd&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA8DLZx4kfLVnCRkJOMUO%2BQ2wdY%2FOND4A6OkOujq3MQnXpAXBnWYVCqn6OQjaJ1DmhhRwr2xT0pyAHbHJYJvL0E1vGdtW53qnUqmUCAWl1jgzMb%2By1tzDAvefOVjLAABvV3aEaBVRIB%2BDpaRukrqVgmK6Iy02GgNklsDmqcx8fO2AJ9MCEehaz12QMEpnEYmueQYwK7yIjb%2BWFjqIG8PebsSpp3CyRXAr4QWuqJX4Xs85uwB155BwegqKLCFO378zNfZ6hYHREo5p85e0yIsZbyixrZxSPV1chFldlcWJPwN1ekdtjSnQjLCk34Z1wZhkHkQ%3D%3D|tkp%3ABFBMpP6aycli

If the inside diameter is good and the outside diameter is too big, have a local machine shop turn the bushing to the correct outside diameter.

I know a couple antique dealers that make a living scouring the country attending auctions, swap meets, etc. to find "inventory" to resell. Although I'm sure they exist, I don't know of anyone who does this for a living buying and selling solely antique AUTO PARTS. many of us, even on this forum (including me) are always on the lookout for bargains at auctions and swap meets that we know we can resell to help support our own hobby/projects. I have even purchased a few estate collections which is probably a bit more than most hobbyists would be willing to do, but I still only spend about a day each week on this, far from full time. Attending Hershey and meeting some of the BIG private vendors is a great idea.

This car is still available and can possibly be brought to the Hershey meet in October. We would love to see this car find a loving home!!

That's why a lot of people would rather pay someone to sell a car for them. Anytime you place a car for sale ad online you can expect to wade through a lot of B.S.

"I don't always drive antique cars, but when I do, they're not floor sweepings" "I don't always drive a Duesenberg, but when I do, it's a model J" "I don't always drink liquor, but when I do, it's Crown Apple" "I don't always visit art museums, but when I do, I make sure there are statues of naked women" Can someone please photoshop Ed's head on the photo above?!

Heaven forbid if you were to be in a collision of any sort, but if you were, you might wish your, um, passenger in the backseat was buckled in. 🙄

X2 -Thanks for letting me come along for the ride!!

That is a very handsome wagon -Congratulations! The rear facing third row seat brings back memories. My parents purchased a new Chevelle Malibu wagon in 1973 that had the rear facing seat. I was 10 years old and thought I would have that seat to myself when we made our cross country trip from Virginia to California that summer. Turns out I wanted to see where we were going rather than where we'd been. I don't think I made it 100 miles!

Ed, I don't doubt what you're saying is true, BUT, I'm sitting here at work in front of my computer and would happily trade places.............................. Don't you need someone in your entourage to hand you tools, pour your crown, keep riff-raff away and maybe slug the dork that runs into you?

Last year after loading my enclosed trailer I tossed a bug fogger into it before I closed the door. Of course I'm just hauling used parts so no harm. I might not want to do that if I were hauling a nice car! I figure any on the exterior of the vehicle will likely not make it very far unless maybe they get under the hood. Not sure what to do about that.

I think the others have pointed out all the non-stock items that are visible, all easily corrected if so inclined. If it runs well and has a decent interior it would be a fun driver. Those wheels make me think it has possibly been changed (upgraded?) to later hydraulic brakes which is quite common on Model A Fords.
