Yours right hand drive, when I snapped the picture of the dash the first thing I noticed is this car was made ready for export with very few changes.

I concur, '35 Dodge. 

 

Funny. People often say how close newer cars look brand to brand.. for some reason, just about everything U.S. in 1935 shared almost the same nose. For a second I mistook that for a '35 Ford. It looks just like our fire truck

Just a picture I found on google images trying to find that grill and 1935 looked the closest .

Actually the car is almost directly across the highway from our house, in the fall and early spring it blends is with the scenery then during winter covered in snow. If it had not been for the fresh green on the surrounding trees this car would have gone unnoticed for another 50 years.

 

I collect interior door handles and window cranks, so I may revisit this derelict.

We have two species of tics with the grass tic being the most abundant they appear right after the first hot day in the spring like an overflowing pop corn basket. Trillions of the little buggers, I've already been bitten several times this year.

 

To get the close up images of the car put on my rubber boots, when the grass is much taller if you walk the goose step this helps to avoid attaching the critters.

 

Tics seem to enjoy the heat of a garden hose laying on the sun, often you have to check your hands after picking up the spray end.

 

I've considered Guinea Fowl to patrol the yard but they are very noisy birds.

We found two tics on the roadside grass yesterday on our 2 mile jaunt.  Our cats find multiple, daily.  My oldest is pretty good and inspecting the cats and sending the tics to the swimming hole.
