My dad has some yard art. He is moving and wondering what he has. The main question is about the body, but if you can id the doors that is a bonus. This is a mix match so don't let things confuse you. (Even the front window it is not correct.)

The rear section of the body seems to be 26-27 2dr Model T Ford. The cowl section is also probably 26-27 Model t Ford. The doors are off some big autos, two different autos or models. The fenders are Model T Ford mid-1020. The wheels are Model T Ford. The frame is probably from a big truck.

Actually, the body is a four door. I believe all is from one car. Are the windows really T? Here is the dash (it looks like one is added to bottom with Model A switch.)

I was thinking Model A, but then the flip up gas tank cover looks like T.

Looks like a conglomeration. None of it appears to be Model A. Doors don't match each other and neither appear to match the body. Fenders do look Model T, but frame is neither. Way too heavy and has semi-elliptical springs on both front corners.

This looks like this is at an old auto graveyard or belongs to somebody who has lot of miscellaneous old auto and truck parts and one day, decided to put together a conglomeration of all these various parts, basically laying them, hanging them, leaning them or wiring them in place to where it resembles an old vintage car but nothing that was ever manufactured before. There is no engine. Jim Patrick

The right front door might be 29/29 A coupe door. The rear door does not look like it fits to the rear body section as the hinges don't seem to match.
Heard Johnny Cash once owned a car like that :-)

It's a Dodge!

I found this link: http://www.autogallery.org.ru/m/dd1922.htm

Now I am almost sure the body is a mid '20s Dodge sedan.

Thanks for your input!

The front door is definitely 28/29 coupe or sedan Model A. The windshield frame is Model A roadster or later cabriolet which had chrome frames. The roadster frame is round tube and the cabriolet is flat tube.

Fenders with electric bucket lights and wheels are for a T. Body is non-T and probably non-Ford, as the rear seat window is too long and low. Doors are not for this body as the door hinges and body moulding do not match up with those of the body. Also, the body moulding on the front door is wider than the others. The chassis and radiator is from a big truck or a big non-Ford luxury town car with the radiator too high for the cowl and the hood is for looks only to cover the fact that there is no engine. This is most likely a mix of a half dozen, or more, cars, slapped together by a bored owner of some vintage old car parts. Jim Patrick
