1937hd45 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I don't think it is Stutz or Marmon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Maybe a truck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stephen48 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Looks like a Dodge Senior Six 1928. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ev57 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 GentlemenThank you for the replies.I have Not verified the Vin Or Motor #'s, as this vehicle came without a title.This hood is on a 1928 Dodge Depot Hack.The radiator shell has a DB Senior emblem on it. (see photo)I thought this hood was suspect, due to the Horizontal Louvers, as well as the Senior emblem.On all found photos of a 28, I have Not come across this hood design.Typically, the louvers are Vertical.Would anyone be able to furnish a photo of vehicle with this hood in place ?There is a factory hole on each side of grill (in line with top louver).As the headlight bar spans across the fenders, any Idea as to the purpose of these two openings?ThanksErik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EMF-Owner Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I believe Chandler Automobiles had hood louvers in this configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldford Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Looks like the hood from a 1927 Dodge Senior 6. I'll keep checking on the purpose of the holes. Maybe the wires to the headlights went through some conduit fro those holes.Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldford Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Just found this photo of a 1928 Senior Six. I blew it up and you can see the conduit for the headlight wires going to the center of the radiator shroud. Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ev57 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 FrankYes, that certainly looks correct.The lamp wiring does indeed appear to go thru the openings on shroud, as just found on other photos.Am attaching a photo of a cast metal stanchions, located on chassis rails, feeding a spiral / metal wrapped cable, up towards headlamps.Have you ever seen these stanchions used for headlamps ?Perhaps they were for a foglamp?I will trace the existing wiring for further clues.ErikErik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addicted to cars Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Erik. Is this depot hack in or from Utah. It look like one that I saw a few month back in a large garage with many other cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
