Any idea what this is?
This has been sitting in this field I ride my bicycle by for quite a while now. Every so often a for sale sign goes up on it.

Vintage tin.
That cowl is worth something to someone, s'long as it's not been hacked too bad.

Looks like about $.20/lb, if you sort it first.

Fabbed snowplow.
Those look like 'Diamond T' truck wheels on the back, from the 40's and 50's. Last edited by tcar; 07-13-2016 at 07:56 AM.. |

Very cool. The mechanism to lift the snow plow/grader attachment/blade is simple, yet ingenious.

It's a Doodlebug. In the '30s Chevy dealers used to hand out instructions on how to make one from a Chevy truck. Interestingly, I've seen dozens of Model A and Model T Doodlebugs, a few Dodges, a Whippet, and NO Chevys even though Chevy was promoting them. An old guy in a nearby town got his license taken away for too many DUIs. He made a Doodlebug to drive to the liquor store.
