Name the car game

[Flyinbowtie]

As530 said? Lol

My apologies. Didn't scroll back and didn't have my damn cheaters on. You said it first for sure. I think you have the best match so far.
I am trying to get ahold of a guy that was at the show with me when we were looking at the rat rod that did indeed have those rear fenders on it, he may have a pic...but he is a long winded mofo and his line has been busy for an hour.

Looking at some Franklin hoods, I can't find any pics with the 5 set hood louvers. Will be fun to find out wtf it is.

 

[Wheeler]

None the less we all appreciate your participation here on rdp.

It'd be the best chick magnet in all of Parker

I want me some of them thar Parkabilly babes for my own!

I keep refreshing the thread hoping to find out what it is. Can’t believe it’s taking so long.

No sweat but there is a prize involved!
Wheeler it might be a Lanart but I think it’s a Leverite.

 

[coolchange]

Never seen one at Pebble or Amelia. Might be why it is lying in the desert and not scooped up.

It was a nightmare for the mechanics and support guys on our event. It was never going to make a thousand miles.

The one I know gets driven on the regular. But you have to be a special kind of guy to have very unique cars. Ya not sure on what situation a Franklin would be invited unless the marque was air cooled lol.

I recently received an email wanting to purchase it. I"m not sure where or how they got my email but it had to be a neighbor which I only have one withing two miles. I think I'll move it to the south 40 next to the Gran Torino and the Schiada

I'm kinda afraid to move it as it might fall apart. think I'll just take your advice and leave it right there.

I've had many people look at it and say they know until they go home to research it only to find out they were mistaken.

I would hope that some one on the Hokey ass message board will know for certain.

 

[Wheeler]

maybe one of these guys willl know?

I’ll take a random shot with Franklin

… exactly what I was going to say… Had a great uncle …uncle Henry Eland… who had a Franklin… I was probably six or seven the last time I saw him or his Franklin???…early 50’s…

 

[Flying_Lavey]

You’re one of the few on this forum that can remember back that far so who are we to argue

Beat me to it. I was going to suggest he drove it to his first bar trip though. Lol!

Oh you so funny!

 

[Taboma]

I'm gunna use that the next time someone asks what it is.

You certainly can, because if you google 37' Lanart, you'll now find yours plastered all over the internet as proof.

I would of expected you to have worked on one of these at Fennel’s. Whatever it is.

 

[troostr]

I could swear we've done this with this exact car a couple years ago here on RDP. If I were worth a shit on the search bar here I would pull it up. I know we figured out exactly what it was though. I'm almost positive Franklin is correct, 1930-32.

 

[ChiliPepperGarage]

Henway.

 

[Rajobigguy]

1936 Henweigh

 

[coolchange]

Or a ‘35 Duckworth.

 

[Outdrive1]

I bet the car had leaf springs and brakes.

Henway.

2/3 lbs?

 

[coolchange]

Still waiting on 530 to make the tie in…..

I think you’re right. The scallop overlay on the fenders is pretty telling.

Thanks to @Trooster!


The kicker is I think a friend owns one of these cars and has for the past 40 years that I've known him.

Franklin had wood chassis and were air cooled

How about a name the boat game? This should be easy as it's right up your alley.

Ps; you neglected to call me ...again.

 

[NorCalRiverRat]

do those guy's from the hamb have any opinions ? if those guy's don't know, nobody knows...

bottom line it's still a rust bucket.

C’mon man. 530 on the aircraft tie in. Franklin?

Sorry, I work for a living.....

You made me look it up. Interesting history pre-war and especially post-war being bought by the Tucker Car Corporation.

I’m here. Come on over.

No clue on the boat. 24’? Looks very Lavey Craft to me.

 

[TomD]

Early 30's GM

I was close, with all the wood around the doors and windows it had to be a GM. HA!

Is that a 20 foot something Southwind or a Nordic?

 

[Taboma]

1980 Eliminator Pro Am Offshore --- 236 ? I know they had a 25' Offshore, but I think this one is a Pro Am.

Since you so handily nailed the Eliminator I thought I'd give you a shot at this one.

 

[Taboma]

Obvious similarities of the deck, but more of a Howard-esque bow, but I'm inclined to guess Carrera -- but it's a guess.
Regardless, I really like it I like both of them. Did the Pro Am have a pad or was it full vee like this one ?
I seem to recall a discussion some years ago that more than one company had access to the molds over time.

Yes the pro am has a pad.

I haven't figured out how to post a new thread yet and with them grumpy old men of the Hamb I don't want to mess up and put it in the wrong place.

Yes for the past 10 -12 years. just been a long time since I've posted. They really flip out if you post a glass car and will ban your ass immediately. I'm logged in now trying to figure it out.

I went the irv2 see to see what kind of havoc 2Forcefull was causing.

I rode in this boat before and after it was converted to a v drive.

That would be a nice boat if you ever got it finished! Where's the photo of the snake?

I hope to get going on it again soon. I need to retire or a least take 6 moths off and work on my own stuff yet here I am again getting up to do some paper work and plan my day of work. I'd send the boat out to a shop but you know how that turned out when I tried that .

I'm more curious as to what the car is so I can answer questions when asked. I think I found my answer. I"ll just tell them it's a 1932 Henway.

 

[NorCalRiverRat]
