Question
Hi,
)
I came across this old frame in an old=growth tree line, while deer hunting. I am not sure what it is from and no family members could recall who might have placed it there. Do you know what I am looking at? There is a label on the frame that says Fisher and the picture of a carriage.
Thank you,
Glenn
It is no doubt a body part from a GM car in the late twenties to early thirties. The logo that you describe is the Fisher Body logo and they built the bodies for GM cars until GM bought them out.The photo is too small to give any better answer than that. If you want to e mail me a photo that I can blow up perhaps we can identify it a little better. sears.brad@gmail.com. Remember that early cars used heavy metal.

| Comment | Brad. Thank you so much for your help. I will be home again at Christmas and I will take some added photos at that time. I suspect more of the vehicle is buried in the tree line, which I will investigate further when the snow melts! Thanks again, Glenn Frisch | ||
