Guest Ryael Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I'm enlisting the help of the community for this one . I'm trying to figure out what kind of vehicle my Grandparent's had based on old photos. My Grandpa has been deceased for some time and my Grandma can't remember so I need your help! If you can figure it out from the images I would !greatly! appreciate it as I try to get on the road of finding and building one for my family to someday enjoy! Thanks a bunch from anyone that can assist.Sorry they're blurry but it's the best I could find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ryael Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Thanks Frank, I've been looking around and the closest I can find is 1936 Ford Tudor. I'll take a look at Dodge's next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jpatino Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 1935 Ford? 1935 Ford Brochure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 (edited) I'm going to guess Hudson Terraplane or 112 based on the grille. It does look like a Ford at first glance but I don't think it is one.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Later = Checked some pics on the net and it isn't a Terraplane. Closest match seems to be a 35 Ford but something is the matter with the grille.Still later. There seem to be some scratches in the grille and headlight area that are confusing things but I go along with the consensus on it being a 35 Ford. The car behind it is a 39 Ford Deluxe.

Guest De Soto Frank Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 (edited) Going by that side trim / grille on the hood, I'd suggest '35 Ford.Wheels might be from a different year - can't tell. '35 had wire-wheels, '36 had steel "artillery" wheels. Edited March 14, 2011 by De Soto Frank (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I can see why somebody thought it was a Dodge,what with those horizontal ribs on the grille, but everything else says 35 Ford. What it might be is a deluxe grille with all the vertical ribs blacked out. It appears to be a standard car with no passenger side taillight but it has the dual horns.

Shop Rat Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 There is a 1935 Ford sitting in our neighbor's garage. He passed away about six years ago. I just saw the car today when his son was there cutting the brush away from a 1966 Alfa that his dad also just let sit for several years. Had not seen the Ford in many years.

DavidAU Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Sure looks like a 35 Ford Tudor. The Ford behind it is not a 39 Deluxe. Judging by the grille, lights and wide strip in the front of the hood I would say it is a 41 pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest noncompos Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 First name that jumped into my mind was Nash...1935??Your State should have the old registration records. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WireWheel Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 There is a 1940 Ford Standard behind the car in question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest prs519 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 The Ford pics and guesses are quite convincing, but I am still not 100% convinced. I cannot see the delicate and attractive body line behind the passenger rear window (on the top of the pictured car). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 The Ford pics and guesses are quite convincing, but I am still not 100% convinced. I cannot see the delicate and attractive body line behind the passenger rear window (on the top of the pictured car).I see it in the original post and the nice profile shot that Jim posted...

I cannot see the delicate and attractive body line behind the passenger rear window (on the top of the pictured car).It's there, but the shadowing from the angle to the Sun makes it difficult to make out. The nature of the louvers/vents in the hood along with the grille detail pretty much defines your Grandfather's car as having been a 1935 Ford.Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
