Guest daredevilcustoms Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 All I have is the rear half. I'm assuming its' an aftermarket speedster body,. Your guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Harold Phillips Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Not a speedster, some ttype of roadster, could be any age but would be a guess it is for what they all call a 23 tub, if any 1923 parts kind of a waste that should go on a 23 from that year.

Landman Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Isn't that what they call a "turtle deck"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Looks to me like a 1918-1922 era roadster. Turtle deck would be a popular slang description. Tub usually refers to a hot rod with a touring car body, as opposed to the more common roadster based rod.Hope this helps, Greg in Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoneyPit Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I'll toss in my $0.02 It looks to be what is refered to as a "clover-leaf roadster" or "chumie" - which is to say a roadster with a back seat. It looks to me that the trunk opening is too small and there is a ton of room between the back of the seat and the door for it to be a conventional roadster...May not be worth the $0.02...

Guest daredevilcustoms Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 How about the back half of a 1918 Buick? Anyone have doors and a cowl?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Yes, a 18- 20 Buick roadster is a definite possibility. The cowl is possibly the same as a touring, but the doors would have to come from a roadster. Buick touring car's are quite common, roadsters are much rarer. I have seen lots of the touring's over the years {and own two of them}, but only one or two roadsters. You could try Dean Tryon's 1916 -17 Buick owners group { a great bunch of teens Buick guys} , but there is a definite emphasis on antique Buick's rather than anything to do with hot rod's.Good luck!
