Jon Sheaff Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 old car parts i found in a fence row at my family farm (1832 to 2021) ... curious what it is. It is the fire wall, dash and gauge panel and sun visor. all that remains of the car. I have searched the internet for hours with no success and stumbled across this forum and thought I would give it a try. Thanks in advance if anyone can help me... Jon Sheaff, Campbellford ON.

Walt G Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Once again - if you give us some idea of size.............like how deep it is from the firewall to the windshield area of the cowl, also how wide the center trim band is where it would go into the hood? How wide is the sun visor? It really may promote/inspire?? someone to think about it and spend some time on your behalf to help provide an answer................... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty amazing when you think about it, I'm sure it would be beyond comprehension to the guy assembling the car 100 years ago that someone half way across the world would be looking at his work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon from Campbellford, Ontario The wheel hubs and fenders look 1920-23 Model T Ford - it’s most likely an aftermarket body on a T with an interesting “California top” but it could also be a mishmash as you suggested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It DOES look like that, but it is probably an aftermarket Model T item. Edited January 13, 2022 by keiser31 (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif Holmberg Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I agreee,it has a Maxwell look arond 1918 but exept from the head lights,wheel hubs, fenders ,runningboard,radiator shrud ,it looks lika a "home made body". Rear end looks like a "speedster type". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41 Su8 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Might be a 'Peerless' radiator shell on a Model T. John 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Gregush Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I am glad I am not the only one to spot the road apples or meadow muffins! Yes, Ford Model T with after market body. The radiator has a taller shell to match the cowl. Might have come with a screw in extension, but that is a WAG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
