Mike,
The wood would have made nice firewood for the winter.

1928 Chrysler Model 70. Thanks to my good friend Jack Laughlin for the tip. I will probably be putting them on ebay.
It was interesting that it cost me $140. to get rid of the wood at the land fill and I got $130. for the steel and copper at the scrap dealer. That's usually the way I make money!
CORDially Mike

There was a 1/4" adaptor plate used complete with locator studs. I liked the chain saw massacre comment. It fit the picture perfectly.

Hi,

Mike, did that Oakland engine just bolt right up tp the L-29 bell housing and/or front-drive unit? Was there an adaper plate involved? How was it accomplished?

Randy asked what engine was in the camper. It is a 1928 Oakland motor. It turns freely but needs a rebuild. The bore is standard 3.250 and it is for sale.

Mike... I took the headlamps off the camper earlier. They are yours if you want them. PM me and I'll send them off to you.

This project is way more work than expected. The trailer was well built with a few surprises. The was a newspaper and an invoice enclosed in the frame. Also the builder signed his work. It is very well built. There are square headed nuts and bolts with angle iron braces at each joint.

Are you planning on keeping the body? It looks as if it were built in sections and then the wood added(?)I am thinking that the body could make a cool 'chase vehicle' or old styled
Food truck.
Now I cannot propose putting this on something as obscure as an L29 chassis,maybe something 'crazy' like a F350 frame(?)

Hi Randy, I haven't given the motor much time yet but the frame serial number is 2926164. I'm sure you will add this serial number to your list of other CUSTOM BODIED L-29 Cords. I believe it was a closed car because some of the interior lights are courtesy lights from a closed L-29.

Yes, I'm afraid we would be the trashiest member of group if we showed up in this.
It is being disassembled currently. Very interesting, well constructed out of masonite and metal. Mike will post pictures as he goes. If it was drivable it might be worth fixing, but there is literally no room for the driver to sit and no desire to save that portion of the purchase. The builder spent a lot of time putting this together.

Mike &amp; Joan,

Congratulations...I think <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=":wink:" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->

I suspect this piece is getting the best home it could hope for, regardless of the outcome.

The very best of luck with it.

Hi,

This has some L-29 stuff under it, but don't I recall that it had a SIX cylinder engine?

Well, Mike, now you have a better place than the doghouse when you're in trouble!
