Guest Sellwood Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Hi All,Would appreciate your thoughts on the make, model and year of this car.Thanks!Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Looks like a custom car built from various other car parts. Maybe a 1939 Chrysler grille/nose and 1940 Ford front fenders...after that, it's hard to tell what the rest is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Just a wild guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sellwood Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Thanks for your response. The top-lift hood is confusing as most '39 cars have side opening hoods.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty_OToole Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) It's a Dodge Hodge Podge. You can tell by the bull goat hood ornament. Edited February 2, 2015 by Rusty_OToole (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell by the bull goat hood ornament.I don't see the hood ornament well enough to be able to tell if it is a ram, but here is a 1939 Chrysler with a similar sealed beam headlight treatment....

Guest Sellwood Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Thanks K, for the Chrysler pic. Any chance it's a Canadian or Australian American car variant?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carsnz123 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) here is another shot of it I don't think its custom but it is a part of the largest car collection in the world or something like that. The show "Strange Inheritance" did a piece on the collection.http://finance.yahoo.com/video/road-keeping-one-man-enormous-155703690.html!!!Update!! The car is part of the LeMay Family Collection the world's largest private car collection. some of the cars are in the LeMay - America's Car Museum.

Carsnz123 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) GOT IT!!!Its a 1939 H-D Prototype V8 (Whatever that is). https://www.pinterest.com/pin/172544229449028384/BAMM!! I'm 18 and I declare a win for the Young people!!Here we go, found thishttp://www.lemaymarymount.org/vehicle.php?vID=489Looks like Keiser was right initially about the custom nature of the car.

JACK M Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I have been in that very building with the cars stacked up two high.Its a huge building and must have several hundred cars and a bunch of trucks in there.They also were running an auction thru there.The Lemay private collection is much more interesting than the museum downtown. The Marymount compound is an old boys school and is open year round. I remember when I was a kid my parents would threaten to send me there.These days it houses a fantastic collection of cars and other collections that are mind boggling. (dolls, hose nozzles, toys, a few bikes, the list goes on and on)There are cars lifted up onto the bleachers above the gymnasium and crammed into the old classrooms.The best day is the one day a year when they open up the private residence a couple of miles away and run shuttles back and forth from Marymount to the residence. The price is very reasonable (ten bucks that time I went). The trouble with seeing a collection of this magnitude is that one gets overwhelmed and things get overlooked. Just like the custom in question. I am afraid that I don't remember it. (part of getting old)Lemay owned the garbage routes in the Tacoma area and he bought everything he saw. At the residence there is a collection of about two hundred old crank style meat grinders and more dolls than you could imagine. And steam powered everything.Like I said, overwhelming.

Guest AlCapone Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Bottom line is Keiser was the first right ! It is made out of the parts of 13 other cars ! Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleach Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 It's definitely a Hodge-PoDge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlLaFong Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 It appears to be a large car, but with the Fiat body, it is quite small. Perfect for the little V8-60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
