Guest AllstonEP Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Here is a challenging one. Can anyone identify this alluminum body? Similar to a 1929 Chrysler, but not. The golf bag door shape helps a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Layden B Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 My perception from other items in the picture is that these panels are very small.Are you gaming us with something other than a full size automobile body? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caddyshack Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Layden,That is exactly what I thought when I looked at the pieces of wood, especially in the 2nd photo. Looks like a miniature kids car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Those are pretty big pieces of wood. Or a very small car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AllstonEP Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 No I am pretty sure it is full size. Wheel well is def. large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AllstonEP Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 not too different than this 32 Lincoln, but was it made of aluminum???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 DEFINITELY looks exactly like the Lincoln body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave@Moon Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) Those are pretty big pieces of wood. Or a very small car.Using the standard lattice panel hole spacing of 2 5/8"*, I took some measurements off of my computer screen with a caliper and did some calculations. While hardly the most accurate method, it appears that the body is about 26 1/4" tall and 63" long. It almost has to be a child's pedal car or (more likely) a carnival ride car.*If there are larger holed lattice panels available I'm not aware of them, and the appearance of the wood would be different/thinner.

Guest AllstonEP Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Not sure why a childs pedal car would have a golf bag door, but what I can do is put a tire up to it for better perspective. Thanks everyone for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RogerS351 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Using a wide angle lens and being close to the subject will change the depth perception. So too will a telephoto lens and being a long way away. Might be why the panels look small in comparison to the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Mack_CT Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Many, if not all standard bodied Lincolns of this era were aluminum, and that was my first thought when I saw this yesterday, but I was thinking older, and did not pull up any '32 pics. I would say Lincoln. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friartuck Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 It is true that bodies made by Lincoln were Aluminum (for ease of forming). Note the size proportion of the golf bag door against the fender radius (width). The '32 KB Lincoln is larger. This could be 27-30 model L. Also note the squareness (sharp) of the corners of the pictured body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Height=26" to window or back (+3" to very top of upright piece)Somebody is pretty good with the calipers and math!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restorer32 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 The upright pieces extending above the body makes me think this was originally from a coupe body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
