btbalon 0 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I literally dug this partial out of the ground out in new mexico im thinking its a 1924 because it doesn't have a vent on the cowl like the 25 and the rear space between the trunk lid and the top of the seat area is smaller than a 23. any information would be appreciated.

keiser31 5,840 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Looks like you may be correct, but I am more familiar with the later DBs. Link to post Share on other sites
JayG 73 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Looks like a 24 or 25. The squared doors would indicate that. Prior would have rounded doors. The 25 doesn't have a vent in the cowl. I own one. Jay Link to post Share on other sites

fiddlerbill 0 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 It looks identical to my 24 roadster except I don't seem to have the two tone paint job! It looks as if they had made a pickup out of it. Link to post Share on other sites
austinsailor 3 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) I have a 24 roadster as well, looks the same. I'm curious. I often see old hulks like this drug home, and I really get it, I would too. I wonder, though, if any ever get restored or put into a shape to be used, are they mainly yard art or?? Anyone have before and after pictures of any? I have a 24 Gardner roadster that doesn't look that different, although it still has running gear and wasn't buried, but I'm not sure I'll ever be up to getting anywhere with it.

22touring 43 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I think it has got to be after mid-1917 because it has the longer rear fenders, doesn't it? Link to post Share on other sites
Pete K. 24 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 '24 or '25. Yard art only. Pretty neat one at that. Link to post Share on other sites
dwollam 42 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 My 2 cents says it is a 24. The 24 had a headlight/ignition switch that mounted from the outside of the dash. 25 mounted from behind in the exact same hole. Looks to me like it just needs a good bath! When they went to the 1 piece windshield in 1926 they got a cowl vent. None on 25 and earlier. Link to post Share on other sites
