    I'm wondering if anybody can tell me what year and make this body is. The rear fenders are fiberglass and the rest steel. Reminds me of a Austin Bantam but I think it is bigger than one. Any idea's are appreciated.

    The back end looks like a Vicky, but the doors are opening wrong to be a Vicky, Are they not? Is it steel bodied? Looks like the fenders are moulded and the roof looks like a glass job, really looks wavy in the one pic.

    The fenders were fiberglass. There was quite a bit of filler also. Although I don't know about the top being filled. I was puzzled by the body lines around the windows and on the cowl in front of the windshield.

    I'm pretty sure it is a '29 Oldsmobile 4 dr. with the front doors removed and slid together.

    The lines on the cowl look the same, but I'm not 100%

    That's NOT a Bantam guys.... Look at the body lines on the cowl. The windows are TOTALLY different. The windshield header is TOTALLY different.

    Not saying it's what I thought it was.... Just saying it is not a Bantam. If it is, show us pictures of one that looks the same. Nobody has yet.

    Not the end....

    Just look at the bodies.... Not even close.

    You are right. Those points are exactly why I was curious to start this thread. It really has me stumped.

    It looks a lot like a 1931 willys 4 door that has been cut up.
     
  13. Cowl is 28-30 Pontiac with those funky lines on the cowl top. They made Pontiac Victorias 28-29.
