I'm a sucker for anything old, and when I see New Departure, General Motors, on something that's steel and wood, I'm sold.
It's big, extremely heavy, and I have no idea what it is or what it's for.
Every google search has led me nowhere.
Name plate:
New Departure General Motors PAE-1 3/16 Bristol, Conn USA
I'm hoping somebody knows before I'm stuck to emailing General motors hoping to get a reply.. :?

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

Its a rig for re straightening a car chassis.

Looks like a homemade lifting device. The pivot point is mounted in two New Departure pillow blocks.
