Open car old racer What is it? built in 1950

this is a old racer built by my uncle in 1950, trying to figure out what this cowl is

 

Lets see more!!! Could possibly be early Buick

 

Could also be early 20's Chevrolet, looking at the imprint of the windshield stanchions. If the dash is still in it, a pic would help nail it!

 

'28 Chevy.

 

I got the Speedwagon last summer from a older guy in Skagit county, he knew the history of the car and had wanted to restore it , well I got it from him and here it is, I would like to know what all the parts are from, the cowl and doors Im not sure on , they dont look ford, Dad says the frame is a willys, if so what year? theres a tag on the frame I took a image of,the rear looks like a narrowed car hood, not sure on the make? the dash has a hudson guage but it looks like that was carved to fit as the engine was a hudson, the car was built in 1950

 

Man I am not really sure what it after looking at all the pictures.

Hope someone knows the answer or maybe there are a few other sections of other old cars that have been added.

Thats definetly a Willys model 77 chassis 1933-36. Cool project, good luck.

That looks like a cool old race car,you going to restore it and do you have any pics. from the "50s" of it, looks like a fun project

 

the back looks lik a cut up chev hood, maybe 48 truck

Priceless history and heritage it would deserve to be in a museum when finished.

ran when parked.

 

It would great to restore to former glory. then race it again in the nostalgia class

 

Thanks for the pics. they where pretty cool, that would be fun to restore and tool around in have fun and good luck

 

got a pic? the ones I saw have body lines

 

NOT '28 Chevy- might be 26 or earlier.

 

According to the frame tag , it is a 1936 Willys 77 model . The dash looks like an Oldsmobile . The 3 windsheild stantion hold down bolts , and cowl light hole , also looks like an Oldsmobile . About mid 1920,s .The slightly recessed firewall and the way the felt strip holes for the hood to lay on are also a clue . Hope this give you some ideas .

Very cool project , with history ! Have fun with it !

 

My appologies for the typo. At first glance the cowl looked to be from a 1925 Chevy. However, i have to agree with the comment above.

Cool little piece you have. All the best.

 

also that firewall has been cut out and a flat sheet is bolted in

 

No FEAR.. I noticed the Green paint and the Number 13.. This was when the drivers were real men.. No fire suits/ no hans device/no roll cage just a rear roll bar./No fire suspression devices and very few rules..
