Tom Burtch Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I've acquired a nice selection of old car parts (mostly NOS) left over from several dealers in Kenya - the newest are from mid 1960's, but most are mid 1930's to early 1950's era. American cars were not popular here and there are few local experts to consult, so I really appreciate help from AACA to identify come of the parts I don't recognize. So far I've been able to identify parts from Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Chevrolet, Buick, Pontiac, Studebaker, Terraplane and Dodge.I believe this is a NOS trunk hinge for a late 1930's Chrysler Corp product. It is about 8 3/8 inches long and has the nested DPCD symbol along with a number 742854 in the underside of the casting. I expect either the number or the shape will be enought to identify it for someone who knows these cars. Hope you can help. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 elmo is correct and they only fit the "humpback" style trunk lid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 37Imp_limo Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Do you still have these hinges. I am need of both right and left but will take the right handed one if that is all you have. I was working on my 1937 Imperial and both hinges snapped off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
