Rotten CGs and CLs Sedans are available, I even believe I know someone (in WA) who has a CG chassis. You definitely get a head start with a complete chassis to adapt your engine into.
Thanks for your thoughts but don't think it's an option in my situation

This is all that I have . It is from the master parts list.
Since you are going from all scratch you may want to start with axles with springs and any stock parts then reverse engineer the rest.
Good Luck on this one.
This is excellent 28 I am able to determine the lengths but am lost on the width and depth, I will get there never have done easy.
Thank you

Are you thinking about extending your frame to CL size? Push the body back, extend the hood, etc?
The PE frame is from a restoration that I am working on at the moment.
The CL will be a brand new build from stock steel this is why I am trying to find dimensional drawing, I am the opinion that the frame will be longer, wider and deeper than the PE which in fact is quite different from the PD Coupe I also own.

Currently working on my PE frame, just to indicate that I know what's required.

This is where I'm at

Sort of an open ended question, no? Does your chassis have an engine? Tranny? Rear? Suspension?
All I have is an idea, would never be able to afford the real deal, I have excellent body building skills and being retired only work for myself. Plenty of people replicating the likes of Bugatti's but they don't push the buttons. Appearance wise this must look authentic, I have a complete donor drive train and running gear (non Chrysler) that has been in store for more than 8 yrs now and needs to be used or dumped.
Once I can find detailed dimensional drawings I can draft files to have the frame laser cut ready for fabrication, only way I can undertake this project is to work from the ground up.
Hoping someone can give me a link for drawings.
Thanks

Looking for detailed information on the Frame/Chassis, working on an idea for a Sunday driver without busting the bank, all I know at this stage is 146" W/B
Thanks for your help

Yeah, a bit jealous of you about that lift. My new garage as a bit more vertical clearance than the one at the old house. Not enough for a full height lift though but I could probably use something like the lift shown on this video.
Hi Tod, just picked up on this thread, had been mine I would have found another serviceable unit to keep the car mobile and at my leisure check the original out, plenty of these engines out there, I paid $450 for a running drive train.
Regarding the ramp I picked up an almost identical 2 post,4 yrs low use $900 and not looked back, my PD sat on it 4 months now, removed the wheels and have clear space under. Win Win.

Can you post a photo of the Coupe bench seat.
Thanks Tom

Been away for a while, not enough hrs in the day, glad to see your back on the case.

Need a dimension from the front of the cowl vent to the front of the cowl where it steps down for the hood lacing approx. at the centre line
-
Thanks for the lead, will give Roberts a try.

I'm no expert but it maybe worth posting it on the Marmon page

Just an update, have received this attachment from Chrysler Historical via the seller.
Chrysler had stopped putting the serial number on the frames in 1926. In 1927, the only location for the serial number was on the FEDCO plate, which would have been attached to the instrument panel. It would consist of letters and numbers and been about 6 digits long. I hope this helps.
Time moves on and this car is no longer of interest to me, thanks for all your help.

Unfortunately the seller is unable to find a serial No. on the frame, as I already have a Plymouth with an incorrect serial No. on the title plus being across the pond it would be foolish on an investment basis to pursue this Model 50 . Thank you for your help and should this car be of interest to someone here I am willing to pass your details on. The seller is in IN .

This is the latest, still don't see anything within the crest, unless that's a 7 to the bottom R/H under LLL.
-
Gents, another question while waiting for the info to come through. Where would the frame # be located, also any idea on what the lead time is from Chrysler Historical for build cards (that's is they were available that far back)
Thanks

I did not intend to mean that. The last letter on the FedCo number is simply a 4 per the usual W P C H R Y S L E D coding and is simple part of the sequence numbering.
Just goes to show a little bit of knowledge is a bad thing, I'm lost so will leave you gentleman to solve it once we have all the details. Thanks
-
Never to old to learn, that is a great piece of information, thanks for posting. According to Tod's post the R at the end of the FedCo has a relationship to the first character.

The owner's out on a trip so won't get an answer before the wkend.

Would the engine # be behind the hooter?

Hi,
The 82692A number is most likely the engine serial number stamped on the left side of the engine block, this number would fit in with 1927 Chrysler 50. My 1928 model 52 had a engine number in the 133k range and was built in March 28.
The fedco plates first letter is not readable, but I agree with the logic it is probably starting with an F.
i would say it is a model 50
Best regards Viv.
Hi Viv, interesting input, If this car was first registered in a state that used the engine # as it's serial # that would explain why it is on the title (have a Ply with the same thing but am unable to get a build card for it due to the serial plt. missing)
The car is definitely a model 50

Thanks John, think I will get the owner to lift the hood and check the engine #

Would appreciate it if someone could come up with some dimensions for me.
Many thanks.
