DeSoto(?) on imcdb

The fender lights say it is a CK but the radiator and hood vents are wrong.

None of the photos I see on the net have that combination of radiator/hood vents and fender lights. Is this a regular 1930 car which had had the CK fender lights added?

It looks to have a Dodge 8 (DC) radiator shell and possibly DD head lights. I wonder if a DD hood would fit a CK?

Could be a 1930 Plymouth radiator shell....

I think you're onto it there. Did they have clamp-on outside rear view mirrors like that in the 1930s?

There is an photo illustration of a mirror in the accessory section of the 1928-33 Plymouth Master Parts List that appears to be a clamp on mirror.

Wow, much better than the Dodge MPL, which has very few pictures and drawings. The best I have seen are my 1934-46 Studebaker manuals - there are lots of pictures and line drawings. e.g. each year and model's hub caps are illustrated.
