wayne's world Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I purchased this vehicle this summer from a widow. She thought it was a 1921 model A. Her son said it was a T bucket. To me it appears to be a Dodge Brothers coupe.I would like to know what anyone thinks. Also if it is a DB coupe what years was this body used?The frame and drive train are not original.My Grandfather says it is definetly not a Ford product. I am young and dont know for sure.Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne's world Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 Thank you. Why do they call it a leather back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 The upper rear surround part behind the passengers is covered with leather and not steel. One of the nicer bodies for the early Doge Bros.Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne's world Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 I kinda realized that after I asked that silly question.Now I have to decide what kind of frame,suspension, and drive train to put in this. I have acess to a complete drivetrain and suspension from a 37 dodge. I will probably go that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 From looking at the engine I hate to say that it is a Chevrolet, A common mistake among true Mopar rodders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne's world Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 That Chevy engine is available.. I have no use for it. The vehicle will have Mopar put back in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
