Up for another vintage ID?
- Thread starter Attila Bethlenfalvy
- Start date
Back alley homicide scene? Looks like they are loading the victim into a Plymouth..
Looks like another set of stretcher poles on the upper deck. I agree with Paul, looks like the coroner.

it's a service car the 30's stuff to me is a mystery but lets just call it a 34 flexable on a buick chassis.
Yep. I posted thinking that nailing the exact service car would be difficult given limited view. 
Friend ID'd this as a 1937 Ford Sedan Delivery.

The lack of a right side taillight and the hubcaps signify Ford to me. The fact that its got a flower or utility tray above the floor level leads me to believe that this is a long-wheelbase service car and probably a Siebert-Ford of about 1935 vintage. I see nothing that would indicate that this could be a Flxible. The wreath emblem on the side panel was a casting used by quite a few professional car makers of the era.
Mostly guessing here, but I'd second that. Flxible did use that wreath a lot, but so did a lot of other coachbuilders. And if you look at the distance between the top of the rear fender and the beltline, it;'s narrow, like a standard sedan delivery. Compare that to other coaches of that vintage, and you'll see that space is often twice the height. The beaver tail back slope also looks to be stock Ford, and a '35 or '36.
As reference, here is the '36 Siebert again:

I am just curiou, are you sure it is the same coach? One has a chrome wreath in the quarter window and the other does not.
Bill, 'reference' as in comparison to b/w above. 'Again' as in I have posted this '36 Siebert Ford from the Virginia Museum of Transportation before.

Sorry, my mistake. I should have been more careful.
