History Found an old coupe in a ditch, what is it?

I found this old 5w coupe in a farmer's "junk ditch". I am not that good with this era car. Can anyone tell what it is? Can't tell from this picture, but I am pretty sure that the gas tank was in the cowl. Notice the brass (or bronze?) column drop. I have seen you guys rebuild some cars from cars worse than this on the site, Is this thing worth digging up? There was a complete frame sitting right outside the ditch as well, but I can't get that picture to load.

 

Looks like. 1931 ford to me.

'30-'31 A, see the rear inner fenderwell pattern. And the SS cowl band.

 

What it is, that's easy!
You next Hot Rod, if you got the balls and skills.

Get at it, lad!

 

Good for you.

 

Score!

 

Likely a 31 with the dash mounted column bracket, looks like it had a rumble lid. Keep digging, who knows what else could be there!

 

As the other's said, 30-31 Ford.
I imagine the pass side could be quite a bit worse seeing it's buried in the muck...but from the rest that i see in the pic it's worth unearthing and making something of it.
In fact, if i were to stumble on something just like that, i'd have it in my truck asap.....providing the land owner was good with it being removed.

Well worth grabbing whatever you can. If you don't use it someone else will need it.

 

You haven't dug up this treasure yet? HRP

 

Make a nice wall hanging if the rest is gone.

 

grab your shovel
ready set go

 

wow!. dont try to pull it out. dig it!!

 

Darn, it's been robbed of a door. Guess I'll pass.

 

Cool. Even if it is just the left side, it's worth saving.

 

Is this worth digging up?
Hell yeah it is!
Unless he wants a boatload for it.

 

...go get it and post pics of the recovery.thanks

 

Yes, Model A, but what's with the brass column drop? Keep looking thru the pile!

Geez, Corvette Creek, A-Coupe Ditch....what's next?

 

i must have missed it, where/what ditch did you say it was in?

 

do i see the door in the upper right hand of that photo?

 

Getting harder and harder to find. SAVE IT!!!!!!

 

Why cant this crap happen to me.....

 

If the other side is junk just make a mirror image of whats showing.

 

You got it home yet?

 

did it up, it's savable

 

dig 'er up! I've started with worse... and coupe stuff is getting harder to find.

anything like that near here may as well be gold...
