Quite a few things wrong.
• Split seat
• Powerhouse generator
• Don't know where the term "hardtop" comes in, there's no top in it at all.
• Twin bugle horns
• Don't know about floor rust, weren't floor boards made out of wood?
• Probably more

It looks like somebody's attempt at a 3 window coupe.Just what would those roof quarters come off from? Sedan parts grafted on?Are they even A at all?Probably wouldn't look so ugly if the landau irons were removed.

Is that grap bar an old accessory? I already have a hole in my dash at the lower mount. That would actually be kind of nice to have a grab bar similar to that to help my wife in.

Looks like it has the generator wire conduit also. That should not have been there in 1930 if I remember correctly. Rod

The oval speedometer was used until June of 1930, and could be in a vehicle assembled as much as 2 months after introduction of the round speedometer.

lol....thanks 160B...I thought they only had ovals until 1929 then switched to the round ones...every time I'm on here I learn something new ;-)

What's with the front bumper 90 degrees off (horizontal)??? Twin teacup taillights, left AND right spare wells... As said, too much weird stuff.

Not an expert:rolleyes: but my expert opinion is that's a sedan roof...or part of one...weird.

M2CW, the fact that there is a Canadian license plate and seems like a different kind of a vin, make any difference?

Here's what's wrong...that interior takes me back to Mammasan's off base whore house

Re: What"s wrong here
 

I think that it is a pretty good attempt at a three window Coupe. Now, did the person just unite the best parts of three bodies to get a viable "A" or is this the long lost Edsel Ford Sport Three Window Coupe?
