There is an old junker in a field. It is pieces only there is the front end with big chrome headlights, few other big pieces. There is only a plate on it with the year and other numbers that don't say specifically say model etc. The most significant number on the plate other than the year with is 1956 and it is green is 173C
Curious as I know things like the headlights, bumper and other chrome items are worth something to someone but need to identify make and model in order to put on internet.
I appreciate any help you can give me I can get all the numbers off the plate if you think this would help to identify it.

Something like this?

Posting a picture if possible,would help us a lot.

How do I reply to the answers I get I am new to this. If can let me know if this is proper way to reply to an answer and if it takes care of all answers. Thank you both I will get pictures not thinking. Regarding Nohelp4u the bumper looks something like it but will do as Mazak said and get pic tomorrow

We got your reply. You are doing it right
Go to your profile page and you should be able to figure everything out from there.
Yes pics would help possibly.

Thanks for quick reply went to profile page but still not sure. When I reply did you get an email telling you this. Did both of you know that I replied or just yourself.
I just want to be able to reply to all answers e.g. if I get more than one as I did this time to be sure that all people who bothered to help me know that I read their answer. You know what I mean I appreciate the help not that good at these type of things.
So just to be sure how did know I replied and did both of you get my reply if just you how would I reply to each message. Thank you again and I will definitely get pics tomorrow.

The posts that are current that you post or respond to should show up on your profile page
Or you can get to them in the your questions or answers on the left of the profile page

I didn't check my emails but they should be there.

I don't know if it is still legible or not but I am sure you already knew this, but if you look on the inside of your door where it closes at, there is a sticker with the manufacuring information.

It should say the date on there.
If it is any of the first 7 months of the year it is that currently that year. If it is the eight month or more than it will be the next year.

For example, if a car said it was made August of 2000. The car is actually a 2001, and will be that way.

If it was made in March of 2000, then the car is still a 2000.

Does that make any since?

I hope this helps. If you need more information, let me know and I will be glad to help.
