Default What car was this?
I went up the paddock today and dug this old chassis out of the scrub. Just for fun can anyone identify the car it was part of How long has it been since slide on grease nipples were used?

I think it might be a Chev Grasshopper.
It's not a Ford as it has not completely rusted away...

It is an Australian built 1924 tourer using imported parts and local coachbuilding.

Museum photo of car, I thought the uneque spring arangement would give it away.
I'm cleening up the property so it will probably go in the scrap pile unless you bring a trailer and take it.
