My favorite is the 72 Hurst Olds
-
made a deal to buy it. I will pick it up on Friday or Saturday. thanks gismo081!!!
-
I did not look at the dash. But if i get the chance I will see if it had the ID plate.
-
Yes,I believe the radio flyer engine protection device is also included
-
The owner told me it was a touring car but after further inspection I found four full framed doors so I believe it is a sedan. There is also a touring car type windshield in the pile.
-
Yes. The owner was told he could get 600 dollars for scrap. He will sell it to me for the same. An interesting thing I noticed is the hood is made of aluminum. Was this common?
-
Its been an interesting week. I found three Marmons here locally. All are in very bad condition. The one I found today is very sad indeed. The owner was going to send it to the crusher and I have about a week to make a decision on whether to save it or let it go. It makes me sad to see a car that used to be a real classic in this condition. Let me know what you think. save or scrap.

Thanks Keiser. I see what you are saying. Now look at the bottom of the radiator shell in your picture. Notice the large round piece where the crank hole is. The grill shells I took pictures of do not look like this making me believe that they do not belong to a Roosevelt. Here is another picture of possibly the same cat at a different angle.
-
I did not get any other pictures or measurements of the car/cars. there is a mix of parts from other cars in the mess. I dont believe it is a Roosevelt because the cowl is different all the pictures I have seen of them. The frames are also very long. They are sitting next to a model A Ford frame and are two feet longer than it. And the grill shells I have seen as i posted in the link above are not the same. The grill shells have an oval area on them where the Marmon emblem goes. The Roosevelts I have noticed have a round Teddy Roosevelt emblem and are very different on the top. Maybe I am wrong. Just an observance. Here is the Roosevelt grill I am seeing in the net.
-
The car is very large, It has only one vent in the top of the cowl. All the Roosevelts I have looked at online appear to have two cowl vents in the top. I think it may be then larger model 68. Here is a link to a Roosevelt. It has a different grill shell. Marmon Roosevelt - 1929
-
Sorry, I dont know how the double picture happened. There are only two grill shells. I believe the car is a 1929. Nice observation on the hubcap. Thanks Keiser31
-
There are two sheds with parts, the model a stuff you see in the pictures is a roadster pickup. The Marmon has most of the body (a four door sedan) is there including the fenders, front and rear ends two frames and wheels. No engine that I could see. But like I said, it is in VERY BAD condition. I am pretty sure it could not be restored. But probably alot of good parts or maybe a speedster project.
-
I went and looked at them, They look like a Marmon. It appears to be almost a conplete car but is in very bad condition. Do the grill shells have any value?
-
Sorry, this is in a classified add locally, I am going to go look at them right now. Can come back with better pictures
-
What are these grill shells from. Any
Idea? -
There is still a auto dealership here in Salt Lake with the Wilkinson name, Jody Wilkinson Acura. Could have ties to the dealership you are looking for.
-
Look like 35 or 36 Ford (truck ?) to me here is a link to a picture. 36 Ford photo - Marland Grove photos at pbase.com

Looks like a 35 or 36 Ford to me.

Imperial Palace car collection in Las vegas used to have one for sale. Its been a few years back. Their list of cars on their website doesn't list it anymore so it must have been sold. could still be in the states.
-
It is a B40 two door sedan. I do have the doors. one thing pretty cool about it is that it has auto roll up window in the doors and rear quarters. you push them down manually and it has a cable and spring mechanism that pulls them up.
-
The first model A I owned was titled as a 30 and had the body of a 29. I was told that some of the early thirty models had 29 body's because Ford was trying to use up the last of the previous model year parts. Dont know if its true but that is what I was told.
