1937?? mystery car. What do you think she is?

I bought this car ( See the photos in my album, please) with no papers and no idea what she is. Her frame has been shortened and the headlights were originally ON the fenders, not in them. She was last registered in 1963, according to her license plate. 1937 was found yesterday while she was being sandblasted and 707954 was found on her frame. Any info/ideas would be greatly appreciated.

 

Pictures might help.

 

a picture is worth a thousand words...

Rusty NYer beat me too it.

 

it's a 1937 WTF

 

Her....?
She...?
Well, if nothing else it looks like you've already established the gender.

 

Process of elimination.

It's not a truck...
It's older than 1963...

C'mon we're getting close people we can do this!

 

Oh thats a 1966 trident sunbeam starliner cruiser brogham, xlt 500, gs platform with a ultra rare inviso theft deterent system.

 

I was gonna say that.

 

Can you take some better pics from the side, the suspension, or the frame?

 

Wow did you read his profile. Not here to make friends....No car knowledge to share....Holy sheeep dip.

 

I went to the album. Looks like a home built job probably late 50's vintage. That was fairly common as early british sports cars started hopping the pond. Grille maybe hudson? or ?? Cand ID th front fenders from the pics--same with rear images.

I bought a similar car a few years back we called it the PLYORD. flathead powered 40 ford chassis with dropped front axle. the rest was home built 40's vintage plymouth fenders and section hood, homemade body with chrysler imperial trunk spare and a lift of 50 dodge roof. I'll post pics sometime if I can get them scanned.

irregardless it looks like a fun car.

 

here you go.

Of course she's female. Look at those lines and not a prick in sight.

Wood firewall?

 

Thanks! Afraid my experience w/message boards is slim.

The fenders really look like mid thirties Studebaker.

 

have you got side pics ?

 

HIS profile?? Well, Sugar, if you want to know anything about antique French dolls, I'm your "man."

Step away from the redheaded woman and no one gets burned.

 

Whoa! You're good! The closest we've found is a 1934 Studebaker Dictator...very similar to the grill, anyway.

OK have you got side pics of you?

 

Well after that last post you are probably going to paint it pink,put your spandex on and cruise.Maybe you should load up the dolls,stick you a big engine in that thing and see if the wood firewall does its job.

 

Perhaps some sort of ferrin car, like a BMW? Gary

 

Gents, I have many photos but (being an obedient little girl) I am sticking to my instructions, which were to ask for help based on the grill and front fenders. Thanks for your comments, and sorry about the broken image link. I will learn how to post photos before and if I ever inquire again.

Now see, little ol' me is wrong yet again. There is TOO "one" in sight.

Now you DO have an idea there, but my collectibles are even more rare than yours and I treat them with respect. The second idea has merit. It would be interesting to run a big engine in her, take her for a spin, and see which side of the firewall chars first. Unfortunately, the wood firewall is no more.

That thing looks pretty sweet, you gotta post more pictures

 

Thanks, Gary. It may be my imagination, but I see hints of mid-'30s Delahaye in her lines and grill. No exact matches, but enough of a look to make me wonder if that wasn't the car the "mystery man: behind my mystery car had in mind. In any event, I'm enjoying the search and seeing gorgeous old vehicles I've never heard of before.

Please MsRedda post more- that's a nice looking job. Any knowledge of provenance?

 

Awe, stick around. it looks to me as you'll do all right!

What are your plans for it?

 

Delahaye crosed my mind as well, definitely an influence, accidental or intentional.
