I thought LeBaron too, but couldn't match up other details with that coachbuilder in my references. The headlights look too round and mounted to high to be the factory units, maybe Marchals? The headlamps ( look to the left in the photo to see another one peeking out and the bumper is also Duesenberg) are Grebel, produced in France. You know them, as they are some what flattened circles. They came in several sizes and produced spot lamps as well. Someplace here I have a sales catalog on them if I can find it I will post. The Grebel lamps were available in NY City through the accessories dealer Nil Melior. WG 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper Friederich Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) In Sweden the Oldsmobile Curved Dash was the most popular private car in the early days of motoring. Prince Eugen (1865-1947) in his car at Djurgården, Stockholm https://www.waldemarsudde.se/in-english/prince-eugen/ I think the man in the second photo worked for the Swedish Olds Importer Gjestvagns and latter founded his own Company, importing one of the more popular American automobiles Edited June 27, 2020 by Casper Friederich (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 12 hours ago, 30DodgePanel said: J. T. Cantrell and Company, Builder of suburban bodies located in Huntington, Long Island, NY. In pre war days for the most part suburban was the name for a station wagon ( which meant you took the car with this body style to the train station to drop off people or pick them up along with their luggage) . The "station" name in station wagon referred to the "train " station. This is the Cantrell plant ( later burned down at least once) just south of the long island rail road tracks and west of New York Avenue ( state route 110) . The Chevrolet chassis you see here started life as 2 door sedans and business coupes, mostly the latter which were made in the G.M. plant in Tarrytown, NY on the Hudson river about 100 miles away. These cars were shipped by rail to Cantrell and then the coupe bodies removed just aft of the front door post so that Cantrell could have a cowl/windshield and built their body on it. I did a history of the Cantrell Company for Hemmings Classic Car magazine within the past year or so that showed further pictures of the Cantrell brothers and their operation. Post WWII Cantrell mostly built station wagon bodies on Chevy , Studebaker and GMC truck chassis. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

58L-Y8 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Walt, That was a great article you wrote on J.T. Cantrell and Company, should be required reading for all who are interested in early station wagon body companies. By the way, was there any documentation how they disposed of all the cut-away two door coach and coupe body sections? One supposes Cantrell were the primary go-to source for Metro NYC body repair shops when they had need of such for a Chevy that had been rear-end.
