1928 Solid brass, nice, winged, original Chrysler radiator cap.

Since this has no feathers on the inside of the wings, "28 Chrysler" identified this as 1928 only.

$125.00 plus postage.

Thank you,

Is there a diamond on the back with a name? That one looks like an aftermarket copy. Originals were pot metal and looked more detailed like this one....with feather details on the inner parts of the wings.

I quit bidding, not long ago, on a used, 1930 Chrysler cap.

I kick myself in the butt, now, for not having a show down with the other bidder.

Really don't need another 30 Chrysler cap but I would love to have a spare for every day use.

My good / new one is in the china cabinet.

!50.00 is a good buy.

The item posted is not for a 1930. The 1930 cap is more like this one....

Yes, there is a diamond on the back. I never noticed it before. I can't read the name.

I am surprised that this is a copy. I have had it for many years and it sure has it's worth of patina.

Thank you,

1928 Chrysler caps did not have feathers on the inside of the wings.

There were 2 sizes the common 2" and the less common 1 7/8" for 1928

1924-27 have the feathers on both sides, 29 / 30 had the low profile wings.

I have nickle plated brass versions of both types of the early caps for my 1926 70 and my 1928 62.

Thank you ! I couldn't see how this cap could be new, with so much patina. I even cleaned it some for the camera.

Mine seems to measure the 2".

Thanks again,

This will fit the 1924 to 1927 models, but only the 1928 models used the caps with no feather detail, on the insides of the wings, like this one.

This is a very good looking original radiator cap.

Thank you,

I may be interested in this item. Is it still available? Just want to double check size on my car. Would you ship to Canada?

Thank you Mike!

Car is in storage. Will try to go by there today and measure the neck on the rad. Do you have any more pics of the cap. Sorry, fairly new to the antique car thing. Just want to make sure I am buying the right thing. The one I have on the car now is pot metal but looks very much like the one you have pictured. Unfortunately it is quite cracked and about ready to break apart. Would the threads on the cap be the same on all of the older Chryslers?

I just measured the threads on mine and they just might be the 1 7/8" size. If you have a 1928 model, it would be the correct cap for you. You would be able to return it to me, if it did not fit. I will guarantee it for you.

Thank you,
