Hey guys...there is a model A on ebay that says it's a 1930. The body looks to be a 30...but the wheels,front fenders, and radiator shell looks to be 28 or 29. I'm not wanting to buy it, but I was curious if the car is correct, and if it is, does it have something to do with it being a briggs or a murray body. the item # is 120707303156. Thanks for any comments. I've never seen one like it, and just trying to learn something.
 
It's a 1929 155B Briggs Town Sedan. You can see where the cowl lights once were located. Without the cowl lights and rear seat armrest it would be a 165B Standard Fordor. The stripe on the gas tank also defines the "Deluxe" version. Gar Williams
 
Thanks for your responses...it just was the first time I've seen a car with the body lines of a 30, a 29 grillshell, 29 front fenders, and 29 wheels. Also it appears to have a 30 front bumper, and a 29 rear bumpers. And to be honest I just based my observations on my 30 coupe. They must be somewhat rare, or I just have not noticed them before. As I said I was just trying to learn as much as I could.
Thanks for your help.

IF the Vin is the correct number, the motor would have been produced in Nov 1929. Some states had a sell year as the year of the car. So, engine is produced in Nov 29, put in a car in Dec 29 and sold Jan 1930= a 1930 car according to DMV.
 
Thanks again...so you guys don't believe it has anything to do with it being a briggs or a murray body.

The first car has a short circuit in the water pipes

( 2nd pic - hose to both sides of the cooler)

I cant understand?

It looks like someone either had it set up for a heater, hot from the top, return to the lower, or had a thermostat installed and are using this as a bypass, until the thermostat opens, thus relieving pressure from the pump, and preventing cavitation.

The car looks like some kind of updated car, Ariel holes in cowl panel, that has been striped of its goodies......
