Gunsmoke Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) Went to have a look at what someone had described to me as a '29/'30 6Cyl Dodge that might have some spares. Here it is sitting in the weeds, I'm not a Dodge expert, perhaps someone can identify it. It has a 6 cyl motor, and has had a rough life. I was thinking mid-twenties? Were 6 cyl engines available then? Edited June 24, 2015 by Gunsmoke (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Zetnick Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Kinda looks like a '28 Dodge Standard Six.....judging by hood louvers, drum headlights and fender design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearchoclatetown Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) For sure, should be a '28.or '29. Looks like nickle on the headlights?? We have two Standard Sixes local here, one with nickle other with chrome, built very close to each other datewise.

Silverdome Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) The gauge cluster makes me think it's a '29. Edited June 24, 2015 by Silverdome (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsmoke Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 I'm curious if there are any difficult to find parts that would make it worthwhile to haul it out of there and disassemble it. Likely can be bought for $100, but I don't need any of it. Rearend looks like it may be good, frame is solid, some special brackets, etc survive. The old fellow who lives on this vast property said he backed it in there about 50 years ago and just left it! He has some nice early Model T's in a barn elsewhere. These photos show 3 of the 6T's he has, a Tourer, a Sedan, and a Roadster Pickup. He loans them out for movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearchoclatetown Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Standard Sixes are hard to find, I know of maybe half a dozen. Club roster shows about 2 dozen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Heck, for a hundred buck I would grab it and put it in the garden for conversation.Might not be good conversation from the neighbors but what the heck, as you said there are parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsmoke Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 I'm tempted to do just that. It's about 50 miles from home, and would make a good yard ornament if it was carefully placed on stands and leveled. I'll keep you posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
