New Old guy ID help again

Once again I need help IDing a piece. Can anybody tell me the year and model of this front. Thanks. GCWRED

 

it looks like a 28 29 ford foor door sedan cowl

 

Thanks for the info. GCWRED

 

Not 28-29.............maybe 30-31..too wide for 28-29 not even sure if a Ford

 

From New Old Guy,
The cowl is 3'-10" wide, 2'-5 1/2" tall, 1'-3 1/2" long, if this helps. Here are two closer pictures of the firewall also.

 

If you notice the belt line trim curving up and in front of lower windahield...Not a Ford
(Look close at center photo)

 

It's not a Model A cowl for sure.

 

Looks like a Model A Briggs or Murray cowl to me. They used a standard '28-29 fuel tank mounted from below the cowl rather than on top.

I agree with BenD (check out the link). A friend of mine has a '29 Cabriolet with same cowl. You're lucky to have the matching hood. They're pretty hard to come by.

 

From New Old Guy,
You guys are pretty good considering you are just looking at a piece of a car and pictures. Going back to BenD's link it does look like a 28-29 Briggs or Murry. Thanks for your help. GCWRED

 

It looks like the 29/30 chev. cowl i have in the shop

 

As far as I know. ONLY the Model A Fords had cowl-mounted gas tanks SO that cowl is a 28-29 Fordor/Cabriolet cowl. It is missing the gas tank and the "spacer" section of the firewall but does have the distinctive Model A lower firewall profile.

 

Anybody who says it isn't a 28-9 Ford fordor (or cabriolet) is dead wrong.

 

It can't be 28-29 ford the lip back at the edge next to the door is not there it has to be 30-31 ford, Mr.Alchemy you are the one that is DEAD wrong. PLus whoever said not ford who else has a gravity gas tank in the cowl but FORD.

 

Sorry Mr. Loburban, but you should study your Fords before you spout. How much money you wanna lay on this bet?

 

Look at these.

Man you guys need to study up on your fords... everyone's an expert all of a sudden and haven't even done the research!

29 Ford fordor 60C blindback...

 

Its a briggs are murry body. A murry I think ahd a round spot on the right lower cowl where a mercury head was.

 

Really old post but to educate the new to Ford people this is what a 1928-29 Ford Fordor/Cabriolet cowl looks like. That is a stock 28-29 gas tank under the one piece stamping. Bob

 

interesting topic...I have the exact same cowl and was wondering what year....I thought 31' but now I know...
only trouble with mine is it has had the window frame section chopped off and has no firewall...

plan on making it into a roadster...got a fibreglass back section of a 28 a and will make the rest.
