29 Dodge Buisness Coupe Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Hello,I own a Dodge 6 Business Coupe (1929). Overe here in Germany, there are only few information about this type of car. Among other things the lid of the trunk is missing. My goal is to create a replacement lid or find an original one.Therefore it would be great if some members of this forum could post a (detailed)picture of an original trunk lid or could give me a hint where I can buy one.There car I bought was topic of a thread in this forum before.I'd be happy about any further information regarding the Dodge 6 Business Coupe.Thanks for your helpThomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1930 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Trunk lids are very difficult to locate here in the states and presumably impossible to find in Germany. Pictures of the original lid are easy enough with a Google search or I can provide some factory photos of the area in question if you would like. Information concerning the car is usually easy enough to come by but for time sake you may want to be more specific in the questions so answers are not given that would be redundant. Post some photos of your car if you are able. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pictures of the original lid are easy enough with a Google search or I can provide some factory photos of the area in question if you would like. I would appreciate it very much if you can post some factory photos. (Especially the underside of the trunk lid including lock, hinges and fortification.)I will post some photos of the car as soon as possible.

keiser31 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) Dave....that is a completely different lid than the one needed. This is the 1929 style.... Edited December 8, 2014 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Scafani Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) it looks like the one BBRROOWWNN has for sale might fit. http://forums.aaca.org/f154/1929-1930-1931-plymouth-desoto-coupe-382462.html Edited December 9, 2014 by Bob Scafani (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore as far as I know Dodge used steal/metal inlets for their trunks and they are quite different at all, Chrysler and Plymouth used wooden inlets. I inspected one once. Though I am very glad for any help.Thank you in advanceThomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29 Dodge Buisness Coupe Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 Hello dwollam,thank you. These pictures are exactly what I am looking for. Are you still in possession of the car and provide some pictures of the trunk lid hinges as seen from the top.Furthermore I am looking for pictures of the roof and I am looking to buy some DA parts that are up for sale.Thank you all again for your valuable help.Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29 Dodge Buisness Coupe Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 Hello, thank you for your information. Through the pictures I was able to get very far. The only thing missing is the upper sheet. Though I have finished it almost. A friend helped me although it is not easy over here in Germany to repair such a wonderful old car. If someone wants to sell parts for these Dodge, I 'm interested.Thank youThomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
