my buddy 28pontiac thinks it is a chevrolet!!

it "might" be this car. i can tell from what's left of the rear quarter panels that it was a roadster with similar lines to this car around the trunk area.
this pic is of my grandmother and her sister taken at the family farm where the frame is.

[/ QUOTE ] My 26 Dodge has the circle in the center of the firewall with two lines radiating to each side. It seemd there are a LOT more 1920s Dodges surviving than Chevvies. Tomslik, didnt the chevvies have a big indentation?

[tomslik]

the twi cowls i have don't but they were 4 cyl vehicles.
1 is a 27 chevy 1 ton truck and the other is/was a roadster/touring cowl.

[lilbill]

so you rekon it's a 20s dodge? heres a better pic of the firewall.

my guess is useless!!!!!!!!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

From the dash, I'd have to say late twenties/early thirties GM. My 30 Buick has a similar Dash. Not the gages, the part above them that is fastened with those funky bolts and spacers.
