I've noticed those oil cans on the firewall before. Was there something that needed regular oiling? Water pump? 

Did the updraft carburetors on these work well?

This isn’t a 60 series car. I’m not sure how to tell the difference between a 40 and a 50, but the golf door on a 1930 64C is square.

I've wondered about that, too. The lubrication schedule on old cars is pretty extensive, but it's not like you'd need to lube anything every few miles. Aftermarket?

[CarNicopia 413]

Mine has the same oil can, so I think it was an original equipment.

 

The reference manual has a list of things that need to be lubricated with engine oil every 500 miles, which I presume is what it’s for.

This is a 40 series car. They did not make a 50 series couple. The 50 and 60 series did use the same engine but on a shorter wheel base.  Nice car but missing a few items.

   I think the were an accessory on some cars, standard on others. I have one on my 1930 Ford as well as my 1913 Model T. I added them. The only cars I have seen them on which appear stock are some pre-1932 cars. My friend has a 1912 Hudson which has a double bracket holding two oil cans......must need lots of lube!

   As far as updraft carbs, my only experience is with Fords and mine work great.
