Dave Henderson Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Could be Buick ca. 1928 but the dash doesn't look right. Looks like a landau arm hanging down which would indicate a cabriolet or sport coupe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viv w Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Hubcap design is 1928/9, 10 spoke wheel with 5 bolt hub must be a clue. Don't think it is GM or Mopar. Maybe Studebaker or Hupp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Henderson Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Hard to make out, but it looks to me there are 12 spokes and 6 hub bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 The real key is the lower landau bar bolt that goes directly through the raised belt molding. It must be a lower end car with no golf bag door and wood spokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my perspective I see blind space where there could be 2 more spokes that are out of view. Any 3 spokes visible appear to take up less than 1/4th of the circumference, 4 x 3 would come up to 12.. Likewise, 3 hub bolts look like they take up less than 1/2 of the hub's circumference, so there may be 3 more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) I still see 10 distinctive spokes plainly. Edited January 11, 2019 by keiser31 (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two spokes that are partially hidden by the hub can be clearly seen where they meet the rim. Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaiser, Yes, I agree now, your enhanced picture tells the story, thanks. I do think it is a 6 bolt hub, with 2 bolts out of view. There is a long arc below between the first and fourth bolts visible with, I think, room for the 2 more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Wheels and wedges are NOT "Jaxon" might be a hint as that eliminates GM Products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalef62 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 5 bolt hub, one every other spoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Peterson Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 And this one. Both from 1929. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFitz Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) Those spokes look to be identical to the curving taper oval shape used by Motor Wheels in the late 20's and early 30's if that helps figure out the make. They had to be made on a special machine called a Madison lathe. Paul Edited January 11, 2019 by PFitz (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Really looks like '29 Nash to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) I checked some sources and thought it may be a Willys or Whippet but the wheels did not match. The 1929 and 1930 Essex line up has similar 10 spoke wheels with a 4 bolt rim and does list a convertible. The Nash does look to be it though because of the 5 bolt hubs. Good work West.

nzcarnerd Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 The six only hub bolts on the rear axle suggest a more expensive car with full floating rear axles - like the Buick Master. If it not GM then maybe one of the bigger Nashes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Yes, the last photo shows the upper series Nash. The hubs have 10 bolts on this car as well as 5 rim bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viv w Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Think you guys are right that it is a Nash, but perhaps 1930. These pics are of a 1930 Nash 450 six article I found. The dash layout would appear correct but it has obviously been modified at some time. The wheels are 10 spoke with 5 hub bolts. The rim clamps design appears to be like the "Motorwheel" ones on my 26 chrysler, but could also be Firestone or Rubsam in design. Not sure about the 3 spoke steering wheel on a 30 Nash, as I've failed to find a picture showing one. Viv. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Viv w nailed it. Here is the 1930 Nash cabriolet with the lower landau bolt protruding from the belt molding. Everything else is right, too. Thanks. That one was bugging me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1937hd45 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I'm late to the party but NASH was my first guess based on the shape of the spokes, before I read the other replies. Back in the early 1960's there was an old home made trailer in the yard next door made from an old NASH frame & front axle with those distinctive shaped spokes. The hub cap on our side was one of the first I added to my car parts collection. Now that my grandson started a hub collection at Hershey I need to find another to go with this story.
