Guest XmikeyX Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Maybe some of you guys can help me out. This picture is of my grandmother in front of my grandfathers car while on their honeymoon I believe. Can anyone ID the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_a Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 (edited) XmikeyX,Is the family history saying that this car of your Grandfather's was a Dodge?It looks like a 1929 Peerless 8-125 with a 322 cu. in. straight eight, possibly the shorter-wheelbase 5-passenger Sedan. On the photo gallery there is a picture of the 7-passenger version.----Jeff Edited October 27, 2009 by jeff_a (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest XmikeyX Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I'm actually going off the fact that he owned Dodges later in his life. 1929 Peerless? Wow. Well that picture was taken in 1941 at Lake George, NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_a Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I've been looking at some books to see if anything else is close to the car in your photo. If the car isn't a Peerless...maybe it is a 1928 Dodge Senior Six, 1928 Stearns-Knight, 1930 Hudson Eight, or 1931 Chrysler Eight De Luxe. Some other guys on the Forum would know those cars better than I.These are all desirable autos now, but you could have bought them for a song in 1941!

Leif Holmberg Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 How about a 1930 Dodge DC Eight 4dr Sedan,but the cowl lights isn`t right.When loocking at the hub caps they very much looks like Continetal 1933-1934. Leif in Sweden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif in Sweden.Not DC8...there would be a very large flat area between the hood side louvers and the chrome radiator shell. Fender mounted lamps are wrong. Those hubcaps look like 1932 Dodge, but the '32 had a slanted windshield with no visor. I don't think it is a Dodge even though it is similar.

F&J Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 The hubcaps also really look like Nash and the way they have paint between the outer cap and the base is the same. One? year Nash did have fender lamps. I know the 32 first series (very early 32, called 900 series) had fender lights but that model Nash radiator shell was mostly painted with some stainless trim. I don'r recall if the 30 Nash had fender lights, but I think they had chrome rad shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 The profile of the rear of the body doesn't match with Peerless. With those wheels I reckon it is more likely to be 1931 than 1929. I think 1931 Nash would be near to it but I am not sure exactly which model - it might be a series 90 sedan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest speedydeedy Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 It is hard to be sure with a blurry photo like this.I see the windshield visor so this means the period before 1932 for almost all makes. The hub caps and wheels and basic body shape looks like a 31 Olds,but I can't see enough of the grill to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
