Definitely looks like the car. Even the small details match up.

Grandma looks a bit frisky there Randy

I don't think so. Look at the distance between the top of the fender and the top of the hood.

From I can tell it sure looks to be an early 30s Chevrolet Roadster. Some key recognition features:

- The louvered intake vent on the side of the engine cover
- The Chevy emblem on the center caps
- Notice the design of the frame of the ragtop. Specifically the part located behind your Grand Mother, its kind of unique
- The green one on the right is a 1931 Chevy Roadster in South Africa and most closely resembles the one your Grand Mother is in. The mustard and brown one in your photo looks almost the same as well.
- The brown one on the bottom left is a 1933 Chevy Roadster and the bottom right one is a 1930 Chevy Roadster.

i think that photo is somewhere near the main line outside Philly..
not even sure the year.. 1920's?

RandyD · 07-11-2013, 09:04 AM

the Ford has the spare on the drivers side.. and the chevy doesn't seem to have one at all..

in the one i posted, the spare sits lower and the front bumper is less round on the profile.

surprisingly tough..

here's one - might be it, or within a year or so...

1927 Chevrolet Roadster - Haggle Me

m4a1mustang · 07-11-2013, 09:47 AM

The wireframe wheels make me think it's later than 1927.

m4a1mustang · 07-11-2013, 10:07 AM

Do you know where the photo was taken?

m4a1mustang · 07-11-2013, 10:56 AM

Some notes:

1. Notice the top frame. The older (pre-1930ish) top frames sometimes have that second bar coming off the main one which runs up from the door. Also notice that the canvas wraps back along the frame all the way to the door.

2. Wire frame wheels with very small drum brakes. Often times the drums are much bigger.

3. Rumble seat flips up at the back only. There is no front opening like on some.

4. Is that a manufactuer logo on the spare tire mount? Can't tell.

5. Chrome hinge on the hood. Many cars don't have that chrome accent.

I don't think it's a Ford Model A (pretty sure its not) and I don't think it's a Chevy roadster either. I think it might be something a little more unique, and probably pre 1930 or very early 1930s.

mmmm CSI: Mazoc edition.

MightyBobo · 07-11-2013, 11:43 AM

Send it to Jalopnik with some story about your hot momma running from the cops with moonshine in it or something. And that it needs identifying, of course. lol

ZCarMan · 07-11-2013, 05:07 PM

And here is one more for comparison, again a 1931 Chevy Sport Roadster. 6cyl. with 50HP! Must've been a blast to run in. You could own one in 1931 for $475.00!!

Damn Jon, nice work on CSI: MAZOC edition
