Its Mine if I Want It...But What Is It???

If nothing else you have some great lawn art to enhance the neighborhood

 

I'm glad you got it and know what it is! I was thinking a Case Touring car.

 

I like it, kinda looks like the old Monkey Mobile

 

I always loved the roof rake of The Demon!

 

That's a cool find.

 

Ive got a line on a chrysler cowl..im gonna find out about in the a.m....i think you will see then that the roof is fairly low already! Im just having fun with it, i hadnt stopped laughing all afternoon after the body plopped right in place on that chassis!!

 

Damned if that doesn't look about the right size! Somebody Photolower if for him!

 

put that top on a gto and ya got the monkey mobile.............good find

 

Just git it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

It was most likely cut to make a truck in the 40's. With a truck you could get more gas during WW2

 

Oh, you got it. I feel better now.

 

That looks sinister on that frame. Looking forward to seeing more.

 

Dude, go get this and make the complete car!!!!!!....

I was going to say it looks like the munster coach ... i see someone beat me to it ..leave the dual rears ... makes it look real mean ...

 

COOL!!! I rember building the Demon model kit when I was a kid. Awesome find.

 

looks like its going to be an exciting build

Keep us updated on any progress

 

Thanks "todd a" for the link but i think far from stock is the way im planning so far...other than the nose I just cant seem to get this out of my mind!!

That roof line reminds me of this......

 

I gotta say, that's starting to look killer!

 

That looks like this thing that was for sale a while back.

 

'Lil coffin.

 

Funny, 'Lil Coffin...and you got the body from a former Funeral Home!!!

 

Just what kind of neighbors do you have? Notice the sign in the window across the road.

 

GEEEEEZZZ...nothing like scoping out my hood!!
No, but for real, those neighbors are the best, they are nearing their 90s and have been together since their early teens... he is actually in an earlier picture...I have no idea what that sign is from but it is funny as hell...it may be from their annual church fair where they used to sell plants...flowers, perrenials, annuals...not "those" plants

 

funeral came to mind at first glance too

 

Man ,seeing your neighborhood makes me miss Bass River ! Out here in Phoenix there is no neighborhood as cool as back home on Cape Cod! Great find by the way

 

you guys are crazy its a rickshaw!

 

If anyone is still subscribed, I agree this is a Rex Top and quite rare. They were also offered to create closed car models by the Dodge Brothers on their early cars. I'm currently looking at a 1916 Dodge with Rex Winter Top conversion that could be unbolted and the touring cloth top /bows bolted back on in summer.

 

Would Studebaker have used Rex to make the Duplex?
The Duplex window shape, trim lines etc sure seem to match what came home on the trailer.
