Default Old Pontiac??

I saw this car on a trailor between columbus & newark, oh. Last wednesday afternoon. Anyone on here know this car? I had to get a shot of the radiator cap. Wish i would have taken a full side shot.

Thumbs up

Definitely a '29 or '30 with the "thin" Radiator cap base.
The Radiator shell should also be chrome.
Looks to have bigger/newer tires as well.

'28 had a similar Cap, with a taller base. (2nd Pic)

I love the Indian heads on the top of the fender. Wonder if that lights up.

No, those are solid. The one with the Copper Face isn't how it left the factory, but it looks really good that way.

IIRC the Lucite inserts began in '50. Not all were illuminated; that was an option

Found this at a local flea market the week before last, but I didn’t buy it. If I remember right, it was $175.
