Anyone out there know what type of vehicle this is.

Shots were taken in the abandoned town of
Farina.
We passed through there a couple of weeks ago, fantastic
camp spot and easily spent a few hours wandering around the
ruins in the morning. The refurbished underground
bakery was gold! 2 thumbs up to the SA mob who cleaned up the area and provided many historical facts !
cheers,
Evan

Cheers Kev

hiwjh41
going by the pitures in that site 1916=1942 the front gards are very different to the 1929 chev
on the wreck the gards go in an arch to join the running board following the wheel shape
but the chev slopes away from the top center sweeping down like a curved ramp to the running board
dont think it's an oldsmobile as there gards are sloping type as
well
could be a ford
???? cheers

1932 Dodge.
Just asked me old mate at work he was a panel beater.
Anyway google the dodge and check out the distinctive guards think he's right.

Dodge is right it looks like, not a 29 chev or any model chev.
There use'd to be a lot of dodge's about in those days the guards look like dodge MERRY XMAS ALL
