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

Sept 1928 motor number CA51280
no grease fittings on front shackles
side mount brackets home made
upper cab rear quarter panel ?????
31 steering column mount with duct tape for security
wrong horns
wrong generator
rumble seat cushions wrong
deck lid handle wrong
landau arms wrong!!
front seats wrong
bows for top???
body work installing side mount in left fender BAD
I did not see any Robertson screws?

Kind of a mess isn't it!

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

oval speedometer.......?

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.

jw hash · 10-22-2015, 02:46 AM

I with Keith on this one, the doors are off a Murray`s 4 Door

Horns look like '32-'33 Chevy ones.

bdave_mcc · 10-22-2015, 05:14 AM

Not an expert

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?

The serial number on the engine block is Canadian.

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

dean from bozeman · 10-22-2015, 10:11 AM

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?
