Tempest Storm Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Sorry.. this is also posted in Maxwell forum..We have this little truck.. We know it is a Maxwell Chrysler from Canada. These pictures where taken insitu before we hauled the body out of there. I have dated the truck to pre 1928 but would like to narrow it down..

nzcarnerd Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 That looks like a Fedco number so is no earlier than 1926. Chrysler Canada started in 1925. I have a Canadian 1929 Plymouth with a Fedco number that doesn't fit into the code for the US ones - using WPCHRYSLER as numbers. Your code then is ?11024. Maybe the Canadian ones used a different first digit code? Hope we hear from a Canadian Chrysler expert. Maybe your truck is a cut down Chrysler 4. Depends on the wheelbase - 109" will be a 1925-6 model 58, 103" will be a 1927 model 50. That is assuming there is any chassis there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest elmo39 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 1925 was the last year of maxwell production Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I don't know whether this vehicle is a Maxwell or a Chrysler. My information is that the 1926 model year was the first to use the fedco system of numbers. I don't know enough of the corporate history to know when the Canadian company changed its name from Maxwell. Some research to do maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest f-aschwanden Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 According the Chrysler Master Parts List 1934, it is a 1925 Chrysler 58 (four cylinder). Canadian Built serial numbers are BW-100-P to BW-452-R between 1925 ans 1926. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Good to see some one has a list of numbers. If the first car built was number BW100P (?11002) then this car is the 23rd off the line. This would make it built sometime in late 1925? Do you have the serial number range for 1929 Canadian Plymouth? Mine is GC337Y. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest f-aschwanden Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 According The Serial Number Book for U.S. Cars 1900-1975 (printed 1994) is the Plymouth a Model Q. The cars made in Windsor Canada from June 1928 to 1929 have the numbers G0000P to GP582E.You will find additional informations regarding the Fedco-System and US serial-numbers on the Imperial web-pages under http://imperialclub.com/Articles/Fedco/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest f-aschwanden Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Sorry, I was to fast (and wrong). It's a Plymouth Model U, started in Windsor January 1929 with serial-number GP583W and ended with GC499L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
