Guest Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 A friend found a full set of front/rear fenders, hood, one door, and several side curtains in the attic of a house he inherited. We are having trouble identifying what they may have come from. The hood has a center divider that makes it very wide, so we were thinking some early truck. The person who owned the house had worked for the City Public Works Department.Some people that have looked at the pieces think they are 1918-1923 vintage. Cadillac has been mentioned, but no "for sure" identifications. He would like to sell them to someone to use in a restoration, these pieces are rock solid and in excellent condition for their age.I will attach a picture of the hood and fenders, I do have more pictures so ask if you think they will help. Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Moskowitz Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 Ken, I have suspicion on the parts but could use a close up of the details of the front and rear fenders. Also, any pictures of the side curtains would be of help. Others may follow with a quick answer. Great find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 I'm in the process of moving a house right now, so I'm a little behind. I know I have some close-up pics of the fenders I just have to find them. Here's a pic of the side curtains. The plastic is mostly gone, but the leather is pretty much all there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1937hd45 Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Ken, Are there any holes on the top of the front fenders and evidence that there may have been a fender light there? The hood is unusual with the center section, does it have two top hinges? Is the hood aluminum? Based on the hood I think these may be 1917-19 Cunningham items. The fender lamp base pattern will help with this guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
