Found This The Other Day

[Ken]

Driving back from the panhandle of Oklahoma, I stumbled across this...

I am thinking mid-30s Ford four door sedan. Anybody got a definite guess. I thought that if I just added a cowl section it would make a neat rod. Plus, the door would already be suicide

My guess would also be an early-30's Ford, but many of the cars of that era are very similar so I'm not sure. I guess you'll know when you have exhumed it. It sure sucks that you never have a shovel when you need it.

Don't know if that car is sunk in the sand, or all the bottom has been rotted away. It does appear to be a Model A of some kind. Don't know if it's good rod material, though.

I think it is the back of a 34 or 35 chevy standard 4 door.

I 'discovered' this on the way out to interview a WW2 vet. His farm was a veritable paradise of old farm trucks. Just a cursory glance around revealed; a 41 chevy pick up, a mid fifties stude pick up, an mid fifties GMC commericial truck and a mid sixties lincoln. As for this car it is in fact sunk or rather the sand has been blown in around it. I don't think that it will be too rotted if I ever exhume the remains. The panhandle receives 18 inches or less of precip a year. Most cars left outside here last forever. What metal I could see was still intact and quite good for the situation. I too thought it was a chevy. It does have a trunk sticking out the back you can barely see it in the pic. Also, most of the wood framing was still there and intact as well. The top insert is still partially there as well... it would definitely need replacing though. I guess I could dig down and see what type of frame is under it. If I ever get motivated enough, it is a 4 hour drive or so to get it.

Its a 1934 Leaverite. Leave 'er right there!! Seriously, it looks like a '30's Bantam coupe. hard to tell from this angle
