Reesebarger Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Hey I’m new to this forum and I joined because I have a really old Chrysler car that I am not sure how difficult it is to get parts for and I need help getting parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) Cool car. Looks like a 1926-1928. Scroll down to the Chrysler Products section of the forum for help there. Is the instrument panel there? If so, does it have a rectangular FEDCO plate on the dash? Looks kinda like this....

Reesebarger Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 Has something just like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) Looks like LC591C. That would be a 1928 Model 62 six cylinder coach. Built in September of 1927. 11,154 of that model were built.

keiser31 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 It also looks like someone tried to pry the plate off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reesebarger Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 Maybe but it has been sitting in the same spot for 65 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryB Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 You may also want to join the Walter P Chrysler club too. Should be lots of help there for tracking down parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viv w Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Hi, How much of the car body is actually there? From your pictures, this car should be considered a parts car. It appears that the top half of the body, doors, body wood, spoked wheels and lots of other stuff is missing. While it is possible, with time, to find parts for your car, they could end up costing you a LOT more than the car is worth. If the car is of sentimental value to you, then you may want to persevere with a rebuild, but talking from experience, if I were you, I would look for a donor car to buy for parts, or better still, find a complete car to restore and use this one for parts. I'm not being unkind, or trying to put you off, but think long and hard, before you invest thousands of dollars in parts, and six to eight hundred hours of labour. Have a look at the Chrysler for sale section, there is a 1926 tudor that the guy wants less than 2 grand for it. My 2c worth. all the best Viv. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reesebarger Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 It was a convertible and there was no top half of the body. There is no wood spoke left but I do have the wheels and the body is completely intact and it is off of the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 You must agree that what you have is much more likely to be a topless tudor than a truncated touring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curti Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Does the serial number indicate it was a tudor coach or the lack of folding top hardware at the back of the body ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fedco number is just that - a number. There is no information to be had from it other that a suggestion of an approximate production date. Not like more modern Id plates with all sorts of info on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
