I was thinking "yard art", possibly wired up with 110v for display. Don

I think he means 23k since the rebuild. Don

According to the first post it was sold 10/22/2012. don

Sounds like a great deal to me. Let us see it after you clean it up. I'll bet it will look great. don

Now THAT is a Cadillac! Gorgeous. don

Keiser, You were right the first time. 1928 Model 52. The 1927 had drum headlights. The 1928 was available with either 4-wheel hydraulic or 2-wheel (rear) mechanical brakes. Don

I just checked the date to be sure it's not April 1. Don

Alan, The original poster last visited this forum in June of 2012 so it's not likely he will see your post. You might try sending him a private message. If his account is set up to receive PM's it might get through. Don

When is it on and what network? I haven't found it. Don

I doubt it would have been a 72 ordered with a 4-cylinder. The 72 and 52 were drastically different cars. With a 4-cylinder engine and bullet headlamps it would be a 1928 Model 52. The bullet headlamps were new in 1928 for the 4-cyl., and in 1929 it became Plymouth. (Of course, the headlamps could have been changed). I also would like to see photos. Don

Yes, 1939 Buick. Don

The whistle is an exhaust whistle operated from a cut-out prior to the muffler. They were a popular accessory in those days and, at least in the south, were commonly called a "wildcat" whistle. Less decorative models were typically mounted out of sight underneath the car Similar whistles were used on fire engines where I grew up even into the 1950's. don

I doubt there's anything the 1927 Ford and Chevy coupes have in common other than maybe a few screws and bolts. After owning both a 1927 Chevrolet coupe and a 1928 Chrysler "52" landau with a Fisher body I have been amazed at the cars I've seen that appear to have Fisher bodies. Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Oakland, of course; but I also recall a Falcon-Knight that was very similar to my Chrysler. Willys-Knight and Whippet closed cars look to be Fisher bodies to me. Does anyone know if they are? I'm not sure about this, but I believe with Chevrolet at that time only the closed cars had Fisher bodies. The roadsters and touring cars did not. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Don

Toby, Looking at Adam's profile, the last time he was on this forum was 2010 so it's not likely he will see your post. You might try sending him a private message. If he has his account set to notify him he might get it. Click on his name in the post and follow the directions to send an Email. Don

The Chevy is a 1925 so it fits with a 1926 date for the photo. The 8th car intrigues me. It has the lower, more rounded roof line of a later (1928-1929) car -- must have been a couple of years ahead of the styling curve. Any idea what it is? By the way, Tom N, thanks for posting this really interesting old photograph. Don

Diane, Have you tried the VCCA forum? That's the Vintage Chevrolet Club of America. Surely someone there can answer your question. Links are posted above. Don

Packard Lover, Congratulations on a beautiful car. By taking it off the market you might have saved my marriage! I've lusted after such a car since I was a young teenager many years ago. An elderly recluse near my home had several large cars stashed away including one just like this. When I first saw these photos I thought it might be the same car, but his had factory AC, power windows and an intercom. I used to go by and sit in it and pretend it was mine. Unfortunately at that time my entire fortune was something like $20 and he wanted $1,000 for it. I'm glad this one went to a good home. I'm sure you'll post photos for us to drool over when you get it cleaned up. Don

But the Hupmobile would be a 6-cylinder engine (unless I'm mistaken) so the generator doesn't match the engine. Don

Should be worth twice that today! Don

From Elizabeth, NJ? Don

Definitely too large to be a Durant. How about 1926-27 Chrysler Imperial? Don.

'27 Chevy was my thought, too. If so, it's a Cabriolet (rumbleseat coupe) or Imperial Landau (4-door) which were late 1927 introductions with a lower roof-line and swing out windshield. Don

Looks like "Elizabeth" on the radiator. Don

Layden B, I believe you pegged it. Let's see if I know how to include a photo from the Internet of a "mid 1920's Moon coupe" : http://www.oldcarsweekly.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/1923.Moon_.3-copy1.jpg http://www.oldcarsweekly.com/features/unbelievable_barn_find Could it be the same car? As I read it, this one was in Maryland. Don

1925 looks to be about right for the year. It could also be an Elcar which had the almost identical radiator shape. Try this link for a photo -- I haven't tried posting a link before. Elcar Cars
