leomara Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 OK, no laughing because I'm new to AACA and looking for information about Chryslers. My dad was a big Chrysler fan. I'm well versed in the Model A Ford having restored a 1930 coupe from the ground up. Now I want to tackle something larger and more challenging. I really like the Model 75 roadster and not being familiar with Chrysler cars from the late 1920's I would like someone to comment on the availability of this car in unrestored condition and parts availability.

keiser31 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) Get a hold of Bob Scafani here on the forum or maybe he will chime in. I believe he may have something for you. Edited August 8, 2013 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Nobody's laughing. Chrysler made some of the most technically up to date cars of the twenties and yours is one of the best. Their names reflected their top speed, the 75 model would do 75MPH, very fast for the twenties. Second only to the Imperial 80, Chrysler's top model.Incidentally in 1928 Chrysler advertised the Imperial 80 as America's most powerful car at 112HP. The more powerful Duesenberg and V16 Cadillac did not debut until 1929. Your roadster would have been one of the hotter performing cars of the time.

28 Chrysler Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 There are a lot of parts for this car but nothing like number of parts for the Fords.Chrysler sold over 6,000 of theses Roadsters and maybe 42,000 Model 75s of all body styles for 1929.The Model 75 and 77 share many parts.(1929/30) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
