DFeeney Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Looks MoPar, perhaps 1928/29 Plymouth? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Bonesteel Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I'm thinking 30 Plymouth but will defer to Keiser as that is his area of expertise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks gentleman. I had a feeling someone would recognize it. How it got in with all the Packard, Cadillac, Pierce and Buick parts is a mystery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, because 28 and 29 Plymouth had chrome buckets. 1930 Plymouth had painted buckets like you can see in the pic of the tan car. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41 Su8 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Packard used Depress Beam headlights. Maybe someone thought they were Packard. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehandleman Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 The headlight bars was used on Plymouth and I think 1929 Chrysler 65 also a desoto too, in my headlight book Mopar had both options for painted bucket and chrome my 1929 U is chrome my 32 PB chrome but the sedan is black bucket I think this could be 1929-1930 Plymouth U and model U also 1928-29 Desoto and a few others Just my two cents 👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 29 DeSoto headlight bar curves upwards very noticeably between both lights, and the Plymouth was perfectly flat between both lights. The 29 DeSoto did use Depress Beam, but the buckets were much deeper and more pointed at the back than the very shallow 29-29 Plymouth buckets. I have forgotten what I once knew about 29 Chrysler model 65 interchanges, but a web search for a side and front view would be a way to compare the buckets and the bar style. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be correct with meds and age catching up I know my 29 ply u roadster interchanged several parts that being said it seemed that the 29 chrysler 65 only front fenders and other front parts were same as my roadster PLY U Roadster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
