Can you guys tell me if this is a Model T? Or what it might be?

No Ford had a cowel vent before 1933. Plymouth Pontiac no enough left for ID

Drag it home.

redmodelt · 07-29-2016, 10:37 AM

While I am waiting for photo to down load. There were cowl vents on the 1924/25 closed cars (coupe, tudor and fordor). For 1926/27 only the fordor had the cowl vent the coupe and tudor had the gas tank under the cowl. I would have to check but I think the later closed TT (ton truck) had cowl vents also. Some of the early fordor Model A's had vents in the side of the cowl.
I could not down load the photos. Could you post them here?

Not Model T. T's did not have that large of a cowl or the bright trim band. The rounded rear roof is also not Model T.

Looks like a Pontiac, about 1930 - 31. Not much there.

Thank you for replying. I was hoping to find a desert Model T - an old romantic idea of mine.

Dude,

That's kind of the idea, but I am not sure if it's worth it. I was hoping it was a Model T, so I could live out an old fantasy of mine by rebuilding one I found in the desert.

I would love to post them here, if you could teach me I'll do it. Thank you for replying.

Thank you for replying. I was hoping it was a "T," but alas, I'll stumble across one sometime out here.

Thank you for your help. I was looking at a 1931 Pontiac after reading your response, it sure looks similar.

rileyracing · 08-05-2016, 01:29 PM

I'm thinking Model A...

rileyracing · 08-05-2016, 01:30 PM

Or maybe 32 Chevy looking at the cowl...

rileyracing · 08-05-2016, 01:31 PM

A T would look like this...

1948 sedan · 08-18-2016, 12:45 AM

26-27 Ford had a cowl vent,,,,,

RUNNERBUN · 08-27-2016, 12:46 AM

Most definately not a FORD car. Looks like about 1929/30 but can't say what make.

yachtsmanbill · 09-07-2016, 09:11 AM

Theres a spare sidemount well in the passenger side fender. ws

Randy in ca · 09-12-2016, 01:45 AM

Dash looks a lot like 1928-29 Hudson.

WRA · 09-12-2016, 05:27 AM

Hudson looks to be the most plausible. Not a Ford, regardless there is a value once you get an ID.

WestCoast · 09-12-2016, 09:12 PM

Dodge?
