sagefinds Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 I think those frame ends say Chrysler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Meixner Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Looks like juice brakes, if Chrysler the axle should be tubular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 10 spoke wheels are usually 1931, so maybe DeSoto or Plymouth. NOT 1931 Dodge or Chrysler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerczak Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 The spring mounts are pretty unique. The only cars that I know had them were Kissel's and Chrysler's. The ride was cushioned in rubber. If it was a Kissel, the ID is stamped on the passenger side front spring mount. Usually a two digit number followed by a 5 digit number. 80-12345 The brakes are Lockheed type and around 1928-1930 because they were internally expanding hydraulic brakes. Kissel also used the I-beam axle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron hausmann Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Don’t think it’s kissel. crossmember doesn’t match ones I’ve seen. kissel used six rim clamps. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne sheldon Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Reo Flying Cloud also had the front end of the front springs in rubber inside a cast iron base in the late 1920s. Reo also was one of the first automobiles with internal expanding hydraulic brakes in 1929 (or so I have read, but I always had some doubt about that myself?). However, I had a 1929 Reo Flying Cloud master series about fifty years ago. And those castings don't look quite like I remember them? The castings on my car were more squared looking. Maybe it could be one of the "mate" series cars? Or a year or two later? For whatever it is worth, my Reo from 1929 had eighteen inch wooden spoke wheels and tires on it. I don't offhand recall how many lugs they had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleTalon23 Posted November 8, 2023 Author Share Posted November 8, 2023 Believe 20 inch rims on the wood spoked wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
