Day trip into the Sierra's

Post by jsturtlebuggy »

A few days ago went up into the Sierra's to excape the heat of the valley.  Went on the road to Ice House.   Many dirt trail to follow. There is still snow way up there.

Joseph,
I was trying to figure out what kind of car that is...
The front fenders have a Studebaker look.
Is it a small convertible?
The holes in the left front fender remind me of a Buick.
It looks like a tank rolled over it.

Ed,

I was thinking a GM make too. It had four port holes in each front fender. No emblems I could find.

I thing the Rock Krawlers use it for testing their tires.

You could tell it had big rounded fenders, but it being so smashed roof line, windows, and doors where to far gone for me to tell what kind of car it is.

I am sure someone that knew American cars if they saw it up close could say what it is.

Those fender holes were a Buick trademark, four holes on a Roadmaster, three holes on the cheaper models.
