The Ford Barn

Anyone know the make of the truck presented as the "A" of the day on the MAFCA site today? I know of a similar abandoned carcass out in the mountains that might merit another ride to check out.

I'd guess it's a tudor sedan of some make that's been cut down to a truck... sure has similarities to a Ford, but you can see the curved corners of the windshield, the front axle, etc. Maybe an old Lincoln?

Hey Rich I am going to be in Tucson all week next week and I know of an A that has been parked since I was knee high to a grasshopper. I dont know how to get ahold of the owner but im sure Grandpa could figure it out because it is his neighbors. I plan on hopping the fence to look at it sometime while I am there.

Def. not Ford. It has cowl lights in the wrong place, cowl vent doors and the windshield is rounded on the corners.

Looks similar to a 29 Durant. The engine looks like a continental that Durant used.

I'd love to go see it with you if you can go Monday or Tuesday, I'll be in the mountains later in the week. Shoot me a PM and we can exchange phone numbers if you'd like, else have fun and enjoy Tucson. Rich

Harley, I think you win the prize... I googled "1929 Dodge Brothers" and found a fordor sedan with the stainless trim, the cowl vents and the rounded windshield frame. The A of the day looks to be a sedan that was cut to make a truck.
