1916 Willys Knight Opera Coupe

Packard is correct. The locations of the chrome strip, door handle, and keyhole are the clues.

1928 Chevrolet Convertible Sports Cabriolet. (Layden, you're too fast.)

GM product. Leatherette panel probably means a limo. Probably Buick. Maybe 1930. Look in that direction.

Cars that used 6.50 x 18 tires as standard: 1930 Auburn 125 1930 Hudson Great 8 119, 126. 1930 Gardner 150, 1931 8-150 and 8-158 1928 Graham 629, 835; 1930, 1931 Custom 8 1929 Peerless 8-69 1929 Pierce Arrow 8 model 143, some model 133; 1932 model 54 1930 Reo 25; 1931 & 32 models 30, 35; 1933 & 34 Royale 1931, 1932 Studebaker President 8 Reviewing the list from Perry in Idaho: If you assume that the tire size is correct for the wheel, that eliminates Chrysler, Franklin, Hupp, Packard, Studebaker, Viking, 1930 Peerless, 1928 and 1929 Gardner, 1929 Reo, and 1929 Hudson. Perry’s list eliminates Auburn, Hudson, Pierce from the above tire list. That leaves the following: 1930 Gardner 150, 1931 8-150 and 8-158 1928 Graham 629, 835; 1930, 1931 Custom 8 1929 Peerless 8-69 1930 Reo 25; 1931 & 32 models 30, 35; 1933 & 34 Royale I hope this helps narrow it down.

Style 31059 is a model 87 4 door sedan.

The Serial number of 14291656 falls in about the middle of the production run. The beginning number of "1" indicates the car was manufactured in Flint. The Model number was not filled in for some reason; however, it is a Model 41, as indicated by the Style Number of 4409, which translates: "1942 Special 4 door sedan, Model 41". I don't have my parts book here, so I can't tell you what the trim number "50 K" indicates, which is probably just the type of upholstery. I did not check the The body number "4570", but I suspect it is also in aout the middle of the run. The paint code "19" tells that the car was originally painted "Silver" on the upper body, and "French Grey" on the lower body, with wheels painted either "Lancaster Grey with White Striping", or "Dante Red with Silver striping". (If you want to view the original colors, go to autocolorlibrary.com) If you check the engine number, the correct engine would have a number starting with 44 or 45.

1932 Buick 50 series used 5.50 x 18 tire, which is on this wheel. Looks right.

John, Here is a (poor) chassis photograph: http://searsmotorbuggy.com/pics/photo_archive/sears_chassis.jpg The oiler is the white rectangular box on the lower right. You can see the drive pulley location, and the 4 oil outlets. Thanks! Roger

Need oiler for my 1909 Sears motor buggy. Thanks! Roger

If you notice in the book pictured above, there is also a listing for 46-48 Dodge, Desoto, and Chrysler trumpet "bent". Also listed is 46-48 Dodge, Desoto, and Chrysler "seashell. I'm guessing that "trumpet" and "trumpet bent" were options offered.

Around 1950-52 Buick

1931 Buick. Possibly 1930 Buick also. The radiator shell shape was carried through to several interior features.

I have a cowl which I think is 1928 to 1930 Oldsmobile. It has a curving raised molding on the sides, (and that pattern extends onto the hood.) The firewall plate lists Fisher Job No. 8320. Does someone have an Oldsmobile Master Parts List book from the 1930's which has a chart in the front that tells Fisher Body Job Numbers? I'm using the cowl for a LaSalle boattail speedster I'm building, and have already modified the cowl considerably. Thanks.<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

Here is one I Googled: Google Image Result for http://lh3.ggpht.com/_r3NNtlb8tB8/S8UoTTmkxEI/AAAAAAAAMdg/uj7XoPi0bQI/1933+Chevrolet+4-Dr+Trunk-back+Sedan-1b.JPG

Can anyone identify these top bows? Thanks

I have a cowl which I think is 1928 to 1930 Oldsmobile. Does someone have an early Olds parts book which tells Fisher job (model) numbers? I have a cowl with Job No. 8320. Thanks.

In 1933, the integral (bustle-back) trunk was used only on the coach (2-door) models, and was called the Town Sedan. The 4-door sedan did not have the integral trunk in 1933; the trunk on the 4-door was offered as an option. A photo of a 1933 4-door with an accessory trunk is shown in the book "75 Years of Chevrolet".

I believe your trunk is a Potter trunk for a 1933 Chevrolet.

Are they screw-on, snap-on, knock-off? What is material of construction? Also, what is the diameter? A picture of the back and side might be helpful. Any markings on inside? Very nice looking cap!

Appears to be 1930/31 Nash 990.

Appears to be Jeep. See if you can find any markings that indicate voltage. Maybe check the front more closely. Markings may be faint. You may have to take it apart.

Could you check the lens again, and see if it might say BL-270, rather than L-270? BL-270 lens is from a 1929 Essex.

To refine it a bit further, it appears to be a Springfield version of the Phantom I, c. 1929. The head is in very poor condition, based on the corrosion and the broken valve guides. There was probably a good reason that it was removed. It could be cracked. Roger
