28 Chrysler Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 It could be a mid teens Winton. I remember seeing this one before and a T T boned it on an icy road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JACK M Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Not so much a wonderful life that day. Curious about the chained-up wheel under the RF, could it be that it came from the RR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f.f.jones Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 My apologies to lady drivers.... Looks like a very worried young man in the driver's seat. Good reason to be worried if that's his father with the overcoat and cigar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good reason to be worried if that's his father with the overcoat and cigar. The picture looks a little staged so the fellow in the car may not be the driver. It seems very odd that the rear wheel would end up under the front axle like that. Maybe the jack that's laying on the ground was involved in setting up the photo shoot. That looks like half the front bumper laying by the tree on the right. But what's really of interest to me is the winter shroud that covers the hood, complete with a radiator flap. I could use that this week when I've been out driving in near freezing temperatures. The motometer doesn't even show a blip. Does anyone have a pattern for a shroud like this?

Peter I actually have a NOS one stored away with a tag naming vehicle it fits (can't remember what vehicle) if interested I'll sell it, I'm away, it'll be a week before I can investigate it.

Jim Yes, I'd be interested to know what it fits. Also what it's made of and if, after ~100 years it would still be strong enough to be used. Please let me know when you get a chance.

Concept doesn’t seem too complicated. Edited December 24, 2021 by TTR (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could that be one of those early four wheel drive cars? It's not real clear but it looks like extra stuff going out to the hub and both tires chained. Those guys are grinning,out having fun,running drifts just like today is my assessment. I have a sideshift transmission that era that is also a transfer case with two shafts going forward,who has a front axle to go with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think my earlier comment applies to designing/making an (period appropriate) pattern also, since they sort of go "hand-in-hand" as they say.

A guy 40 miles South of here that has both of those and the trannys are bigger and heavier than mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
