West Peterson Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Oh. Okay. I was basing my guess on the fact it has right-hand drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, since you have it, why not post pictures of the entire chassis/frame (without the body) ? Might make identification easier, especially if including some specs like overall length, WB, track width, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Peterson Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 If it's American, it would be very, very late 1930s, more than likely '40s based on the "alligator" hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VintageRacingCar Posted June 25, 2020 Author Share Posted June 25, 2020 I didnt get the body... the car was a racing coupe...Pre-War for sure. It had a Plymouth engine, but I wont count on that, because it could be not original. I bought it because of that front end...but I d like to know what is it...

8E45E Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 The body tag also appears to be Studebaker. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
