    Dual cowl vents are unusual, as is a vee-butted windshield on an early thirties body style. I don't know, but I would say it is not a common hot rod body, and might be from a more expensive car of the time.

    I didn't mean it is anything to be worried about. What I meant was that it is unusual and would help to answer your question.

    The vee'd windshield showed up about 35-37, and was unusual on this shape of a body, which is more like a 32-34.

    This is a coupe, but look at the cowl and windshield details; http://www.carolinarodshop.com/curre..._chry_pg1.html

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Looks like a match to me! cowl vents, windshield, character lines in the body......even a mounting hole for the cowl lamps. I'd close the case! :-)
