    I think it might be a 1920s Dodge. They had that loaf of bread looking trunk lid.

    What are you going to do with it? I'm a Mopar guy and would love to see it brought back. I bet without a cowl it might be a bit hard.

    Make a nice tag-a-long trailer for a T-Bucket or T coupe.
    Probably difficult to find the rest of the parts to bring back, but not impossible.
    Great search crew!!!

    It's probably a 1920 because the 1925 doors are too long.

    I was thinking the same thing. Does anyone make a cowl section? Hand fabricate something.

    I think T's are more plentiful...that back half is no doubt kinda rare and Hey it's still got the trunklid...gotta have that ground up motivation as it would be a challenge for sure.

    Might be the remnants of a pick up conversion or the rest may be sitting nearby. Either way, it's a pretty neat find!

    I'm thinking the rest of it was converted into a doodlebug.

    In New York State our state parks have a carry in, carry out policy. Seeing as some thoughtless person forgot to carry out their garbage, you being the responsible nice guy you are should take it out for them so they don't get in trouble with the law. Just saying...

  24. To the right of the tree ..... forward of the cab .... is that a fender remnant ?

    Texas has no historic designation on car parts in a park. It's all "trash". Go get it. Use our official, do not litter slogan, if they getcha'. Maybe it will help. o_O

    Dodges were made of much thicker metal than Fords, so high survival rate. OPs looks like1921-25. I have a cowl

    And the build begins! That is why I love the HAMB. Someone always has the parts.

    maybe the old dodges were popular to convert into trucks and doodle bugs because they were reliable and cheap.
