whtbaron Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 The boys have stumped me again. The cowl vent reminds me of a Model T, but the back of the car looks rounded like a late 20's with fairly high windows. Single bead and rear window shape rules out a lot of popular makes as well. Maybe it's an early cowl and a later rear half? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 (edited) Looks like maybe a 1927 or so Essex with the piano hinge on the rear of the door.... Edited September 13, 2019 by keiser31 (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpa Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 A picture of the dashboard would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Looks like it's all from the same car as the belt line bead is identical on both pieces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 The tapering "A" pillar matches the photo I posted, too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whtbaron Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 The only thing I can't see on yours is the cowl vent. Yes, more pictures and better pictures would be nice, but that is all that I was given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whtbaron Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) There we go... the 1926 Essex 6 sedan has the cowl vent... Edited September 14, 2019 by whtbaron (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also no double reveal at the window openings as the car in question has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whtbaron Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 Hmmm.... differences in models or years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whtbaron Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 Bad pic... but this one is said to be a 27 Super six ... looks to fit all the criteria... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whtbaron Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) Apparently the car has been yard art since 1975 and now has a new owner that is hoping to put it back on the road in some shape or form. Probably not scoring any brownies with the purists, but at least it wasn't crushed. And by the way, the guys you helped out say "Thank-you"... as do I.

AHa Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 OK, so this is not an American Bantam of course but it sure looks similar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
