What make of car?????

28A coupe
i was looking at your pics of your car. that thing got really toasty. did the sheet metal warp any on it??? at least you dont have to get it blasted.... i am restoring a 30 tudor right now that was in a shop fire but it didnt burn it was just smoke and steam damage... the paint was untouched getting it blasted soon
 
I don't know at this point as I have not seen it in person yet since the fire. I will know July 2 when I get down to my dad's place where the car is.

I am betting on major warpage and a boatload of metal work to bring it back.

I hear ya,, Good luck with it you'll have your work cut out for you big time..
 
It is more about the money than the work. The car was a fresh restoration when the shop burned down. I don't anticipate much work on the chassis other than a clean up and repaint. The body, on the other hand, is going to take a bit of work.

The fenders sorta look like a T. But, I don't know squat about Model T's.

Way too big to be a "T". Check out the size of that front axle and the headlights. Also, Model T's didn't have parallel front springs, they had a single transverse spring like a Model A. If nobody here can ID it the AACA has a section on their forum specifically for identifying old autos in photographs, so you might want to post it there. Whatever it is, I wouldn't mind it hanging out in my garage for a while.... ;)

I've done a little snooping.. I can't be sure but it kinda looks like it might be a Dile [Reading Pa] or maybe a Belmont [Hudson NY].. Its hard to find pictures with names and years..
 
thanks for your thoughts. I looked at some Mitchell photos but did not see any with the gas tank filler off to the passenger side like in my photo.
We'll see if other have thoughts. The Black Hawk car museum is checking for me also.

I think Patrick l might be on the right track. If you look up a 1915 dile it does appear to have a filler neck in the right location. The mitchell is not at all correct. Good luck on the search. Old car guy in wet Tampa fl
