On closer inspection, it's not a touring or Phaeton because the door of a

For me, that was clue that it couldn't be the model Casper linked to in
his post.
I only posted the link for visual reference to a (any) Durant as
hubops mentioned it.
FWIW, after looking at the back of a few Chevys (got a friend in a car
club with a few Chevys, Fords, etc), can't say I see a resemblance.
I'm not as into cars as some and anyway I prefer British ones.
Looks like Mother Earth is taking all those parts back in the photos.
There is only ONE YEAR of Chevy yhat resembles that body - and it
resembles it very closely. That year is 1932. NOT 1931, and NOT 1933.
Totally different animals. 1932 was a 1 year only "baby Cadillac"

I'd say this matches it to a "T"
Looking at what you posted here I'd love to have the body, with a
chassis tag for registration and channel the body by setting it over a
frame and chop the top to about an 8" window, put a Tbird rear seat
(cocktail lounge style) from a late middle 60's in the rear, nice
buckets up front, a built 4 bolt main Chevy 350 with a Paxton blower
with side drafts on it, plus the usual goodies with laughing gas for
special occasions. Done up in chrome with a deep lacquer black cherry
paint job. Make a nice Sunday family drive car,
or Friday and
Saturday evening car for cruising and hanging out at a good burger
place.
Even a decent rat rod would be good when your too busy with other
stuff.

That one is a deluxe, not a standard. Deluxe is a "6 wheeler" while
the standard only has one spare, on the rear.
It is also a 4 door - so you can see the one referenced by the OP
definitely is NOT a 4 door anything.
Here is another 2 door - not as rough as the one referenced --

Note the "feature lines" at the beltline. and around the bottom of
the "tub" - and the gastank cover.
In all my years working on and playing with old cars I have not seen
ANY other vehicle that so closely matches the "tub" referenced by the
OP. It IS rather unique, when you get right down to it.
