Help identifying a car wreck

[Mini Me]

I think that's a pretty close resemblance given what is left of the original vehicle. Rick H.

I think you may be right, this is as close as we’re likely going to get. I’ll label it “probably a Ford” — thanks all, and especially Graham

I found another photo:

Though I kind of doubt this will help much with making a more positive ID

it’s definitely a wrecked car... and could be a.. well anything?

Just for the pot, I don't think it's the one in Graham's picture.

The head lights on the wreck are what these days are called 'Frog Eye' and sit on the wreck's wing as opposed to flaired in with it, as is shown on Graham's submitted photo.

Dom above has the best answer!

The "dip" in the front bumper is reminiscent of I think '34, '35, '36 Fords if not mistaken it could be one of those.

I was thinking the same thing. When I posted the picture I compared it to the one Graeme posted to see if it could be that, and I noticed the difference in headlights immediately as well.

You may be onto something there … When I Google images of those, I see some with those “frog eye” headlamps as well as the right shape of wings (fenders), such as this one:

Can't say anything about the first pic, but this last one is definitely a 1937 FUBAR....Case closed!!!!!!!!!

[Tim Marlow]

Something like this one then Rick, though not in stainless steel.....1936 Ford two door Bootback.....

Oh I don't know ..... straighten a couple of panels and a smidgen of T-Cut should bring it up OK.

[Mini Me]

Yes, close enough in my opinion.

Looks very different in that photo, but it does look like a Ford Y type, made in Europe in the 30's in a few variations.

[Graeme C.]

Or a Ford Eifel like this in Wehrmacht use.

No running boards on the Ford Eiffel. Look closely at the firewall on the wreck, it looks very similar to your depicted Ford. Rick H.

The rear panel behind the suicide door on the upside down shot looks larger than that on the Y type.....
