Seeking a 39 Chrysler Hayes coupe to photograph & measure to produce 1:43 handbult model. The manufacturer is the leader in this field and is licensed by DaimlerChrysler.

The Chrysler Museum has a 1939 Dodge Hayes coupe. Is that close enough? I would think they would be basically the same.

Thanks West, I was aware of the Dodge and probably that could be used but the Chrysler was unique.

Greetings,
Hayes made about 1000 coupe bodies for Chrysler Corp. in 1939, divvied up in 6 series: Imperial 8 & New Yorker (125" WB), Royal 6 and Royal Windsor 6 (119" WB); DeSoto Custom (122.5" WB); Dodge Luxury Liner Deluxe (117" WB).
Here's a suggestion. Since the bodies are all the same, measure the Dodge body in the museum, and find a '39 Chrysler coupe for the front clip and rear fenders. The extra wheelbase length is from the cowl forward. As I recall, the trunklid has a distinctive ridge right down the middle and through the split backlight.
Also, I know I've seen a feature on the '39 Imperial 8 Club Coupe in the last 5-6 years, maybe in CARS & PARTS. It was a cream color and I remember coveting it for its extreme rarity.
Can't wait to see the model!
Tom Gibson

I found this website on Google. This fellow has restored a 39 Imperial coupe, probably with the Hayes body. Could be he might share the dimensions...... 39 Chrysler Coupe
