old auto part ID

[canes2016]

Been detecting in an area where I’ve found old buggy parts, steps, etc.. Also found an old headlight case along with lots of metal parts to include the piece below, thinking there’s an old auto there as well.
The metal piece shown is about 5-6’ in width, probably 4’ in height. Any thoughts as to what this might be?

Many thanks....

Can we see a view from where your feet are facing?

Maybe the dash & cowl section of an early car. Bars may be windshield mounts. The u shaped piece on the second picture between the two holes on the right would have held the steering column.

I agree This is a Dash and Cowl from an early ride. 1920's

I agree with the two posts above on dash and cowl piece!

Thanks guys. Doing further research based on your input certainly seems to confirm the opinion. Many thanks.
