I was thinking '27 Model T, but the cowl top and where the front of the doors meets the cowl are different. Essex body maybe? The wheels and grille shell are Deuce, the motor is a flathead, (yes the center two cyls had siamesed exhaust ports) Aftermarket intake note the two carbs with huge risers.

And yes, the HEMI head conversion for the flathead was the Ardun head setup, not too common, and very pricey if youre lucky enough to find one nowadays.

I'll search around to find more info on the body, sweet pic BTW!!!

hard for me to get details. not directly in contact with my grandpa, going through my dad, and he likes to drink a lot.. lol

the only new info I got out of him is that the engine is from '37, and that they maxed the car out at 130mph
