Carroll_1 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I came across this landau bar in my storage area while searching for another part. It's about 21" center to center, 10" center to center on the bracket end, and 11" center to center on the open hole end. It's about 1" wide x 3/8" thick. The bracket is broken. The only markings on the piece say, "Pats Pending". I didn't receive a response showing it to the REO group, so I'm stumped. If anyone recognizes/wants it, I'll send it for the cost of shipping.

Looks a LOT like my old 1926 Chevrolet bars.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 That would make good wall art in my opinion. I would like to have it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunsmoke Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Same item was used on 1927 Pontiac Sport Coupe, I helped restore this one 5/6 yrs ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne sheldon Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 The curves are more gentle on the OP iron. The Chevrolet and Pontiac ones have sharper turns nearer the ends. There must be hundreds of minor variations. I have often wished there was a really good reference material for these dummy landau irons. A lot of cars used them. Finding singles and matching them up could be a nightmare! Model A Ford sport coupe irons have long gentle curves. Some irons are solid castings. Others are pressed sheet metal rolled and curved, with simple pressed caps for the center pieces. I have looked at a lot of these over the years. I hope I can get another car with them someday. Fun stuff! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 It does look similar to bars I have that came from a 1925 Buick Model 48 Coupe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsmoke Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 (edited) The OP Landeau bar has (nearly) identical curves at both ends, while the above Buick bar has a much sharper curve on upper section. I'm still convinced 1927 era Chev/Pontiac. OP bar looks about 22" CC, my buddy checked the bars on his Pontiac, about 22.25" center to center, 11" and 11.25" to center medallion.
