'33/4 Potters trunk info wanted
Hello Ford Barn. I recently acquired most of a Potters trunk and related parts for a '33 or '34 sedan. I have the main body, lid, bumper bracket extensions / spare tire mount, and a filler panel (but I believe it is not original). Main body needs some attention, but it is solid - has had some repair work done to it in the past. No floor, hinges or latches.
Are the missing pieces somewhat obtainable? I haven't decided if I'm going to run it or not. If I decide to pass it along, what is a reasonable asking price range / value? Yes, I know condition is everything. I'm just weighing my options at this point. As for my intentions, the car will not be a 1,000-point restoration, so the filler panel not being "correct" doesn't bother me. Last edited by Road Trip; 02-19-2024 at 08:35 AM. |

Years ago I remember seeing them for sale around $750 on up or so.Hardware is unique to the Potters trunks.36 Fords Adaptable, I doubt it.

Any idea what the trunk and related parts might be worth?

IF it helps, I passed on a trunk "only" with bottom filler piece (missing hardware, this past Thanksgiving) for $200obo. The likelihood of finding the hardware and all that was missing is too much of a roll of the dice and time than I wanted to invest!!!

Here's some pic's of what all I have. It needs some love for sure, but it's surely worth saving. Still not sure if I want to run it; it is unique and adds character though.

I passed on everything you got MINUS the sparetire carrier and spreader bracket. At $200 I might have been more willing to invest and sit on it IF that was part of the deal BUT still, finding the locks and hinges....without those WHAT do you really have???
