    A coworker of mine picked this body up thinking it was a Chevy, but has since been told it's not. Can anyone identify it?

    No idea what it is but it's got some nice lines. I hope he has the doors for it.

    maybe a 31? it looks like the 31 doesn't have that extra body line that's two tone in the above photo.

    It does not have the swoop on the lower cowl , which looks pretty cool.

    Don't know, but I like the yellow bucket seats.

    Best guess is '29 with cut out over tank area, '30,'31 maybe.

    have you found any cars in this era, with the curve at the bottom of the hood side? I haven't.

  15. I was thinking 33 Pontiac the firewall has a slight curve but the body lines are all wrong, it might be a mis-mash of parts, the cowl may not be from the same car as the quarter panels. HRP

    find a picture of something you think it is, using google images search. Then take a close look at it, and see if it's identical. If so, post it, so we can see just how good you are at the game.

    That red bench seat is positioned in just a way that it looks like it was sloppily photo-shopped into the picture, the more I look at it the more it freaks me out.

    I've looked through a lot of pictures and I haven't found anything that matches yet, the biggest clues seem to be the shape of the back of the hood and the shape of the top of the forward part of the door.

    It's gotta be a hi-line car with the curve at the back of the hood -- plus all the shit going on at the top of the cowl.

    How about '28-'29 Dodge Victory 6 Roadster? Looks pretty close.

    I think you are correct. A quick search of the internet yielded these photos

    ^^^^^^^^^^^ You got it! I was looking at 1930-31 era cars, that is a bit advanced looking for 28-29. Bob

    And a restored one with the 6 cyl.

    Shame it's not the Dodge Victory Six coupe (1929). One of the nicest coupes from the era.

    Still, the roadsters are not too shabby...................:)
     
  29. That is one rare body you have found! the Victory 6 was only made for 18 months, and there weren't many roadsters produced! Do you have the doors/windshield?
