That's actually a '33 grill.

AND a 1928-29 body.

Looks like an early customizer got creative.

So there were customizers before George Barris?

It also has the original very common version of racing slicks! I had lots of them in my day.

The rest of the at least the two other cars it took to build FrankenRoadster . . .

If you look close, It used to be a coupe, look at doors and winshield.

Ah, that's pretty harsh. I think it's well done.

I don't think the body was ever a coupe. The doors, cowl posts, and windshield look pretty 1928-29 Model A to me.

Quaint

Other sight said it was from back in 1935, They hauled one of their Bell Auto Parts midgets out to the mid-west to race and try to market more of them. Stopped by the Indy 500 to check out the Miller-Ford race cars on their way back to Bell, CA.

Looks like a real 29 roadster body and windshield to me. Notice what looks like windshield wing nut and screws on windshield post base at cowl. I'd drive it!

oldsman41 · 12-09-2018, 02:18 PM

I kinda like the grille on it.

TJ · 12-09-2018, 02:56 PM

It's definitely an A roadster

rich b · 12-09-2018, 03:40 PM

Four grown men in an A roadster pulling a track car on a trailer from Bell, CA to Indy and back; must have been quite a trip.

Hope they don't get yelled at for modifying that "A"> ;-)
