27donb Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 If the 28's are like the 27's, it's a Master because the crank hole cover passes through the bottom of the radiator. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 The 1928's all have the hole thru the radiator and shell. The difference is the placement of the hole and the Master core is thicker. My bet would be a Master. Larry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I thought of that but when I checked pictures I found they were all like that in 1928. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry It would be nice if there was a side on view, which would give clues to length etc, but there isn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I was off on that point... Did Standards have visors, I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping for a comment from a 1928 owner who could point out a readily identifiable feature to distinguish the two models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is 1928 and I think it is a master. American bodied standard series I believe had painted headlight shells with nickel rims while the master series had all nickel shells and rims. The radiator cap mascot was standard on masters and not on standards ( although could be purchased as an option ). The easiest way to tell is either a view of the engine showing the water distribution pipe or the front of the chassis showing the additional round front crossbar of the master, but neither are visible in the photo.

Grant L. Meredith Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I cant see it but on Masters there is a frame support bar ahead of rad and behind the bumper.....could be not visible at the angle of this picture. Mine is easy to see. Seen Standards without this bar but not Masters. Correct me if I'm off on my knowledge of this but it is my understanding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
