Ian Hayhurst Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Hello, my father and I have been working on his Model 50 roadster and have two sheet metal parts we cannot figure out how to place in the interior. The interior of the car was disassembled when he bought the car several years ago. Please check the pics if you have restored a '20's Chrysler roadster and can identify/orient these pieces. We would greatly appreciate any pics you could send of your Chrysler interiors (front seat and rumble seat, floor). I can provide dimensions of these pieces (pictured on the running board) if that would help. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jquam Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Do you have a clearer more detailed picture...I am restoring a 30 chrysler 70 roadster and these look like floor pans in the rumble seat area,behind the front seat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Hayhurst Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 Thanks for the response--I suspected they fit in the rumble seat floor somehow. I'll try for some better pictures tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Hayhurst Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 Improved picture 1--note nail strip along top, triangular tabs on each end, bulge in middle (to clear differential?). This is the smaller piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Hayhurst Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 Improved picture 2--note nail strip along top edge, nail strip ledges on each end, tapered sides, three larger holes along bottom side (one in middle is visible as red dot, plus one on each end).

jquam Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I don't recognize these pieces...I've included a photo of the rumble seat are of my '30 70 Roadster for your info...doubt if this will help though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Hayhurst Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 Actually, that may help--thanks for the reply. While it's not identical, it looks like there is an angled well for your feet. Also, it's hard to tell, but it looks like you have a piece that would go across the back of the rumble seat, right at the back of the floor. It looks like yours has a couple of larger holes, similar to the holes in our larger piece. I'll see if those positions make sense for the pieces I have. Also, the supports for the front seat were a bit of an outstanding question for us, although we figured it would look pretty much the same as yours.Your 70 will make a great car--more power and better brakes than ours!

jquam Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 You are correct about the angled foot well for the rumble seat passengers...the 2 large holes at the rear of the rumble seat are for the rear spare tire mount support rods that attached to the rear floor of the rumble seatJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
