Good luck on your detective work.
I don't know the car, but a few observations from that picture. Looks like it was taken around 1953/4, certainly not earlier than that. The hood looks like it came from a 1940 Chevrolet. The front bumper has the shape of a rear bumper from something built in the early 50's. The bodywork just inside the rear wheels looks like it could be portions of 1942-48 Ford front fenders mounted backward. The fenders look like typical spare tire cover pieces with some extensions (maybe mudflaps? can't tell from the picture). The hubcaps have a Mopar-ish shape. Obviously a Ford flathead V8.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Bob, thank you for your reply- that might at least help with the restoration.
Yes, I do also guess that it will be quite some detective work to find any informations at all.
I have a few more photos here - they show the car as it was bought a few weeks ago:

Cool!
With that rear end shot it now looks like those fenders would be from a '40 Chev also.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon

The whole vehicle might be some kind of car parts puzzle.....
Guess old "Chief Hocking" might have had some parts lying around !
