JustDave Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I found this old Potters Trunk recently and I can't identify it. It has stainless moldings across the top and front. The trunk is square, so I believe it's probably coup. or cnvrt. Someone help. Thanks!Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F&J Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Dave, I don't know how many brands of cars used that same truck as factory equipped, but my 32 Nash is one of them.Yours is made for a rear mounted spare tire, that sat behind the trunk. Yours does not have the drop down back panel like a sidemounted car would have. See pics; the white 32 8 cyl Nash has the drop down panel, and the green 33 8 cyl does not. These are part of the Nash standard equipment for this body style, as the lower body apron is recessed in the exact outline of that trunk.I have seen the same exact trunk in original paint that never were drilled on the sides for the leather straps, so I know these trunks were on another brand of car. I have seen quite a few online, ebay as well as right here on AACA...I think Keiser had one a few years ago that he was selling for a friend? There was another on here in the last 2-3 months, without the handle holes.I have both styles here, one drop down came with my Nash, and also have one exactly like yours, that I have had for maybe 25 years (bought at a yard sale)I believe the chrome strips would be chrome plated aluminum. Both of mine are. Yours is missing the twin lock/latches that fit at the bottom of those top curved strips. The strip should also continue right down to the bottom...either split at the bottom for drop-down, or unsplit for the solid back one. The center padlock hasp was added later on yours.
