It has the look of a VW rear window, couldn't locate dimensions, but quoting a VW fan: "there are 3 sizes of post-oval rear windows (58-64, 65-71, 72-77"). The earlier date measured 33" long.

It looks like it's sporting Model T side lamps. (not a Model T).

Thinking it could be Tone Controller for Car Horn(s) Left and Radio tones Right. -
Hi, This link shows rivet but with no mention of tool, almost inferring using something simple like a flat blade screwdriver. Best. https://www.grainger.com/product/6LB79?gucid=N:N:PS:Paid:GGL:CSM-2295:4P7A1P:20501231&gclid=Cj0KCQjw_5unBhCMARIsACZyzS0upEyoQqQS1FYRH8rnzJHOH-qs_7vGPSpvFEGvCfXspXre9mvyhzUaAo9EEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

So our featured cap is a one off? Canadian production? The mystery deepens.

No clear Title? If you Google the question there are avenues to get one; DMV requirements vary State to State. Not running? I tend to suspect simple basics until I know. Do points need a cleaning? Does engine turn? etc. etc. Per owner (if he is the owner): "wife said she wants the Bentley gone ASAP and thought about scrapping it." With its rarity and appearance, it seems the side issues are worth dealing with. It's a winner!

Chassis tag says "Bentley Motors 1931 Ltd". 1931 was the year Rolls Royce acquired Bentley and likely not the build date for the car.

Here's another adv for your exact model less engines. 1962. From Danbury CT. I recall that's your State.

This Nash dog dish cap w/Nash logo center is not found online. Plenty of similar sized 40's 50's Nash caps are found but center motif consists of the word "NASH" written in red across face. Cap in question might be a rare 1957 dog dish (if they made one) because the full size '57 wheel cover has same center logo. 1957, last yr. for Nash. only 3651 built.

Surely a desirable find. Can you state the general area where it's garaged?

Here's the "624" wrench in an excerpt from Frank Mossberg Co. 1920 Catalog - "Ford Wrenches" section:

A UK web site is selling the barnfind Overland, Ad says Vehicle is garaged in Scott Creek SA 5153. (South Australia) https://car-from-uk.com/sale.php?id=424246.

(lens is too small to appear on TerryB's chart). probably later lens. 1926 Willys Overland Whippet is closest I find. The match being the 3 rim screws barely visible in barnfind photo. Also, the rounded HdLt buckets are like yours, oddly, when I google '26 W.O.W. models I'm coming up with bucket style solid rim headlights. Barnfind car is in the UK. The lens in your photo approx Lens O.D. 6-1/4" X Prism Diam. 5-7/8" Here's a link to the other "barnfind" photos: https://car-from-uk.com/sale.php?id=424246.

Did you have a question about the headlight? "Overland" was the name of a car.

Okay who can tell what this car is maybe the year

1938 Packard 12. Here's the writeup on it: https://www.audrainautomuseum.org/women-take-the-wheel/1938-packard-twelve-landaulet -
'37 Ford "60" V8 pickup had a similar emblem on the side of the hood but the emblem shown mounted just in front of the radiator cap.

1946 Pontiac Left front fender.

Dodge Brothers 8 screw on hubcaps What Year?
drwatson replied to Douglas Gilmore Brown's topic in What is it?
I wonder if Dodge also supplied a open end hub cap wrench to fit the backside octagon flats. -
Not sure I'm correct, but I'm under the impression the K-S part number printed along the bottom of the gauge face applies only to the face plate itself, not the whole gauge. That theory leaves room for car makers to use the same gauge guts for different years & models with a different style face. GM or AC does the same thing. It entered my mind on this quandry K-S is using 2 of their #'s here, the one on the face (for the face) and their own # for the whole assembly (the # on the box). Maybe I'm spinning my wheels too much!
