Here’s one of my “Whatzits”. Do you know what it is? Obviously it is the remains of some sort of car or truck. Can anybody identify that body, the parts, etc.?
I can see the little car from these pictures in the tow tractor above
The American Austin Car Co., was formed in 1930 to manufacture under licence, the English Austin Seven, though with U.S.-style bodywork. Its 4-cyl. engine displaced 45.6 cu.ins. and produced 13 hp. It sold for $445 out the door of the Butler, Pa., plant, and had a 75-in. wheelbase and a track of 40 ins. Advance orders for the sub-compact supposedly totalled 180.000 cars, but first-year production was only a dismally low 8500 units, the best year the company would have.
