earl e rizer Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Can anybody identify this? I bought it from a retired GM dealer. I think it's a Buick, Data plate states General Motors of Canada. I don't know if you can read the info on the photo enclosed. I'm going back this week to move it and a 37 (I think) Oldsmobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TG57Roadmaster Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Looks like a '30 or '31 Oakland. TG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earl e rizer Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 Thanks! I'm going out Monday to get some more pictures and info. I added the data plate pic., but it's not too clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TG57Roadmaster Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Junky,Get the Motor Number from it, to help better determine what year it is. Look for it in one of three places: On raised pad near crankcase oil filler; on block below water outlet; on top cylinder block at left front corner between cylinder head and manifold. Happy Hunting!TG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earl e rizer Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 Thanks again. Is there anywhere on the body on maybe tailight, interior that would have a nameplate? the data plate on the firewall has FISHER BODY, JOB NO.6920( not sure of numbers) and below that BODY NO.4977. It has been too cold and dark every time I go out to the barn it's in, but tomorrow I'm going back with a flashlight in the morning light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 There will be an aluminum tag on the left front side of the frame ahead of the pitman arm, that should be the chassis number. Does the car have a V8? I parted out a 1931 last year, had an arrow shaped badge in a recessed area on the grill shell, your's may be a 1930. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TG57Roadmaster Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Sorry about that....I was going by your first pix to say it's Oakland.Listen to the Pontiac brethren, especially the ones from Canada. More info might come from the Reynolds-Alberta Museum just south of Alberta's capital city.TG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pontiac59 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Car is most likely a 1929 or 1929 1/2 Pontiac, based on hood louvers, radiator shell shape and use of 4-digit "job" number on the cowl tag.GM stopped using 4-digit "job" numbers in 1930, and a "Job" number is just another name for the body/style number.8920 is the body number for both 29 and 29 1/2 Pontiac 4-dr sedan 5-passenger. The 1929 1/2 is the mid-year carryover into 1930 before the true 1930 car came out and above a certain serial number it's considered a 1930 model. Serial numbers on these are either under the left front fender, or on the right side of the rear frame cross-member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earl e rizer Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 Thank you very much pontiac59 for all the spec's. Do these cars have a loyal group of owners?I don't know much about the pre war cars, except a bit of Ford history from my early years when my Grandpa,Dad and uncles were into them. My opinion is the car is too far gone to restore. What I mean is too many dollars & hours for me. When I have more photo's and can get at it I will list it in the buy/sell section.Thanks Again !
