Identify this car? Difficulty level: Expert

First of all, sorry for the crappy pic. I took it this afternoon before I attempted to remove the pedals. I would have taken some better shots and even retrieved the pedals except I stepped on what might have been the roof at one time and ended up discovering a huge hornet's nest the hard way. I lost count of the stings after 15 or so. Ouch. Needless to say, I will be going back for those pedals when we've had a few frosts.

So, on to the pic. Looks like the car was peeled with a giant paring knife in the shape of a bulldozer. This dash shot is about the only thing that I could take a picture of that shows it was a car.

It's a Nike.

I need the picture this way to see what's going on

 

That doesn't help me at all, but thanks for reorienting it, Squirrel!

And it's a Chuck Taylor!

 

Ice cream truck

 

I can't even tell what the hell I am looking at there. Is the dash at the top in the rotated picture ?

Don

 

Definitely not a Nike! Converse.. Looks to be about 2009?

 

Man, those are CHUCKS... EVERYONE knows those are CHUCKS !!!

 

I'm guessing we're looking at the inside of a firewall/cowl section. And from the color it might be military.

 

1950 Ford F1 looks close to me.. But there's no windshield garnish molding.

 

Also, the OP dash has a curve in the bottom of the dashboard whereas the F1 is straight across.

 

The dash insert reminds me of a 46 -48 Oldsmobile. But it could possibly be mopar. Definitely 41- 48 vintage though.

 

Hidden door hinge, and the shape of the windshield, parking brake handle etc. all look like a 40s vehicle.. I can't tell if it's a truck or a car. Windshield looks kind of short height to be a truck though.

 

I had that same thought. Olds came to mind.

 

Looks like it has column shift too.

 

Man - thanks for all the head scratchin'.
The parking brake handle looks 46-48 Ford-ish or Murcuryish. But the dash kinda looks like a 47-48 Chrysler...

 

dash looks kind of flat against the windshield to be post war.

 

53 Chevy car?

 

Never mind I was looking at it funny, aren't we all? It's not a 46-8 ford as suggested looking at the parking brake. They don't look like that and where the pedals come out of the floor is wrong. On this they are coming out of the flat part of the floor not the angled part that meets the firewall. Though it does appear to have a removable metal toe board so that's gotta help us get somewhere.

 

looks like mid '50's International dash

 

53 Chevy car? ... no amateurs please.

parking brake has a late 30's GM look about it.

 

You'll have to forgive my quick 53 reply. With the column obstructing the view the cluster looked similar before I noticed that the dash is flat. Or what we can see of it. Things so bent up its hard to even put in perspective what your even looking at.

Didn't happen to get more then one aweful photo did ya?

 

Looks military to me.

 

Maybe a Willys of some sort?

 

Has a 40s--50s style heater.

Shaft of brake and clutch pedal appear curved.

 

I was able to identify the shoe and the skeleton of a steering wheel. Does somebody that has an idea wanna circle and label things?

 

I'd say 46-48 Olds.

 

You mean like this?

 

Well. That one looks pretty close to me! Anyone know if the bottom of the dashboard sweeps down and then up under the trim like in the OP?

 

Yes, thanks.
