I think something other than a Ford. Maybe a Chev or Plymouth. A good quiz!

I drive by it every day on my way to work did not know what it was. Been there for years with all the others.

 

[makemc]

looks like a 41 chevy

 

[Tudortomnz]

Yes, looks to be a '41 chev

 

[Lawson Cox]

Zephyr?

 

[Gumpy]

looks like a GM product with an altered firewall....

Well I looked at the early 40s GM coupes - they have a slanted B pillar. Looking at the picture provided and from the angle it's taken it appears that B pillar is nearly vertical.

I'm gonna venture that it's a '41/'42 Ford or Merc. Note the pics below - B pillars on them are nearly-straight upright?

'46-'48 Chevrolet

It looks like a 41/42 to 48 Ford or maybe Merc 5-window coupe type body (don't know for sure on the Merc). With no doors it makes it harder to tell. If someone did any chopping on the top it would make it even harder to tell but it looks fairly stock.

heck,i am curious about the truck....a friend of mine is into those early gmc semis and big coe's...haha

Raceron1120 is correct about the ''b'' post being SLANTED on '41 to '48 Chevys and other GM's.
Also, the back of the hood on '40's Chevys runs allmost straight up and down, where it lines up
with the side cowl, and even though the picture isn't very clear, you can see that the side
of the cowl points forward to a 'v' shape like'41-'48 Fords and Mercs.

He has 5 of the trucks.

Looks just like the body I currently have off of my '47 business coupe. Or, as Ford called it..."5 Window Coupe"
Not as many of these left as they were mostly street rodded years ago. I'll be posting some pics of my build when I get time. This body would be the same for any Ford business coupe '42-'48. Mercury did not make a coupe like this as it does not have a back seat. Mercury coupes of this era were only made from the club coupe body which has a back seat. Most folks refer to these as short door or long door coupes.

I disagree,it's not GM or Mopar.I think it might be a Studebaker.

 

[oldskool]

my money is on a 41-48 ford/merc the short door business coupe like mine,the oval back windshield is the clincher

It's NOT a Stude, as they had "vent doors" in the side of the cowl, and they
Didn't have the "v" pointing forward in the cowl side, as the picture shows.
