I found one in a yard I can't find in my books, looks neat and restorable. Late twenties I guess, but I could be wrong, I took two pictures and walked further as you can see there are a few more there. grin
Here\'s one.

Here\'s the second.
Thanks for the help

It almost looks like a Model A... A friend of my grandpa has one that looks like that. Of course, there's more of his present.

I'm more interested in that Green Chevy Station Wagon in the background... grin

If you like sightseeing and have a fast connection have a look here, drop me a note and when I go back I'll take some pictures of the cars/trucks you're interested in. There are too many to count.

It's like a game of "Where's Waldo" but with a green chevy.

By the way, Richard and I have talked to the owner of all those vehicles and he tells us that anything is forsale.

My guess is it's an old touring car someone cut down into a truck. By the shape of the cowl maybe early Dodge?

There's a green '70 Plymouth Suburban wagon and a '59 Rambler wagon back there, plus an '80s Camaro, a '62 Chevy 2-dr sedan, '52 or '53 Ford Crestliner hardtop, and the car in question is parked next to a '74 Plymouth Fury (Blues Brothers, the Monaco is a twin!), but no green Chevy wagon.

I'm with 51 above, I think it's a Dodge Brothers touring car that's been cut into a truck, or someone has cut the back half off for another car.

It definitely is not a Ford because the front springs are conventional, not transverse. That is a very interesting yard.

That blue/green Dodge Ram looks restorable.

OK, it is a Dodge Brothers, somewhere between 1922 and 1928.

The cowl is a Dodge. I have one exactly like it in my back yard. I think mine is a '23. I plan to mate it to the rear of a '23 Chevrolet touring to make a little 2 seater modified. I have 2 very strong Chev. smallblock 400's that will be joined with a coupling to make around 800 H.P. and 900 ft. lbs. torque. Should make lots of tire smoke. This in 4th in line of my car projects, first is my '55 GMC pickup, then the '32 Chevrolet pickup, next the '32 Chevrolet 2 door sedan (all inline powered) then the Dodge-Chev. I guess I'll have to live to 100 or so to get all of them done.
