Guest natepen Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Alright, We are restoring a 1924 Big Six model EK and are at a loss for what this part was.It's on the passenger side where your feet would be but on the door side. It's looks close to a V shape and we joked that it almost looks like a holster for a pistol but it's open on the side.I know it's really vague but thought that before I got to get some pictures of it I'd throw it out there as a challenge for you.Thanks for any info.Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Harmatuk Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Umbrella holder. The umbrella is semi open in holder. Easy access from the curb when vehicle is parked. When the "gentleman driver opens the doors for passengers.The outside door lock is on the passenger side because the vehicle passenger side is, or should be, next to the curb/sidewalk, away from traffic and bad streets/roads. My guess.Bill H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest billybird Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Something to hang your foot in and cause you to fall as you exit the vehicle. I don't have a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Welcome to the AACA Forum Nate, I like the way you asked the question. Without seeing the part I'm guessing it is a storage compartment for a Miller-Chapman anti theft wheel boot. These clamped around the tire and rim and would make an imprint if you drove away with the car. Also made for a very unbalanced wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoneyPit Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 My 24 EL Special Six did not have anything there - But I agree with 1937HD45 that it may have been the storage location for a boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
