    1928 Watzit?-solved!

     



    looks like a '27 to '30 model. Unusual fenders, bumpers, and lights.....with a flathead six.

    I know there were hundreds of manufacturers in the late twenties....Anyone know?

    Looks like a Chrysler , or if it's early enough, a Maxwell. Fenders, "cooking pot" headlights, body lines all match. No rad shell makes ID harder.

    Headlights if original might be the best indicator as they are unique. I'd have to look in my old car bible to try to pin it down. Web sites mostly show cars that have been modified with head light buckets from Dietz or King Bee. Could be a Chrysler product, but not Plymouth as they started in '28, but there are dozens of manufacturers who made cars only for 2 to 5 years and then went belly up..

    actually there were many made with similar headlights. The bumper on the front has three bars, making it unusual.

    I don't know because a 27 Parkard has a cowl vent but the pic HOTRODPAINT is showing appears not to have one. That w/the windshield & fenders between the 2 are different....joe

    that pic is why I thought it could be a Wippet. Looks like the same body lines to me, even though the 2nd pic that HOTRODPAINT shows has the roof removed at the top body line....joe
