  1. I could not find where my 1925 Chrysler 58 with bodywork touring had a jack and tools. There were probably curtains under the front seat, but there was another one or two boxes for the jack and tools I couldn't find. Can you advise me, or even send photos or a sketch of where they are and what they look like? Probably coach and sedan will be in the same place.
    I also need to know if there was any cover on the front floor or just wood and lacquered. There was probably a cover at the back floor. Suppose rubber.
    Thank you very much for your help.

  2. Hi maok,
    Thank you so much, this is exactly what I needed. In my starter, I found only the remnants of one spring support, and I didn't know there were to be a total of two pieces. But in addition, I found there remains of one very small spring ( you can see in my pictures),  which is not even in your picture. Do you know if she belongs to something and what she should do there? Do you still have a picture to find out?

    I would like everything as an original from the production and therefore I look for what to be right.

     

    Thank you

  3. Hi Jeff,
    it's great that you have a new Bendix drives. Can you send me his photos and the price including shipping?

    Unfortunately I do not speak English well, so we do not speak the phone. Google translator will help me the most. 😀
    Thanks

  4. Thanks for the description. But I need the DELCO catalog, which also contains the part number of each component. Then I could look for a specific part. Can't anyone send me a scanned part where the starter parts are? It's not at all in the Chrysler master parts list.

     

    Thank you

  5. Hi,

    my starter on my 1925 Chrysler 58 stopped working. For some I knew where it belongs, but the little spring and pad, or what it is, I do not know. do you have any schematic of individual parts for DELCO starter with Bendix so I know where it belongs? Or does anyone have the entire Bendix for sale?
    Thanks for the help

  6. The rear seats are not much visible in the photos. I have verified that the car was in Prague as a taxi and that the rear seats should be. It is possible that after WWII was redesigned for delivery and some time so I rode. I haven't been able to find out yet.

  7. So it is already certain that the car was made for Germany and the engine was adapted to German tax regulations. The door on the back was probably made after WWII, when cars were missing and therefore body were adjusted for the taxi. Probably the rear seats shifted a little forward and behind them was made room for luggage with access through the fifth door. I'm still waiting for a detailed photo of the door to confirm that it's really a later adjustment.

    Marbeton, the vehicle type , such as model 65, is not the horsepower of the vehicle, it is the maximum speed the car was capable of when new. So a model 65 would have been capable of 65MPH.

    Yes type is actually 65 by FEDCO number.
    Interestingly, the German datatag shows the performance in 55 HP (PS) and a volume of 3180 cm3 and is actually supposed to have 195.6 cu.in. (That is 3.205cm3.)
    Also, the performance should be 65 HP (PS). But the most interesting are the fifth door on the back wall. Here I need help if this is done, or it is a later modification from some body shop. Another instrument panel was probably later replaced with a dashboard from Czech Aero or Skoda cars. According to the picture they exactly match them.

    Do you have any photos of the car that you can post for us to view? We DO love photos.

     

    I'm sending a few photos. Interestingly, the dashboard does not match any Chrysler of that time. The wheel is also in the front fender and not on the back of the car. Plus, there's a fifth door. Apparently the car used to be a taxi. Have any such special modifications been made directly at the factory?  Unfortunately, I do not have more photographs yet

  10. The engine number corresponds to the data tag. But it does not match the engine content and engine power. 
    According to historical records, type 65 should have engine content 195.6 cu.i, (3,205 ccm) but the data tag is 3.180 ccm. 
    The performance should also be based on historical records of 65 HP, but the tag data is 55 HP. 
    Here is the difference I do not understand.

    No. Must have been added by the importer, including recommending a specific oil for servicing. I also doubt Chrysler Corp would have slipped a data-tag with incorrect numbers on it. 

    Yes, apparently you are right and the data tag was supplied by the importer

    I seem to recall reading somewhere that Chrysler had an assembly plant in Belgium in the 1920's, but can't remember where I saw the article

    If production in Belgium is, it would have been another FEDCO series like Canada's Windsor. I think the car was imported from Detroit complete and only in Germany I was making German data tag.

    FEDCO chart says it is a 1928 Model 65....first column at the bottom...."LL3...."....

     

     

    Thank you Keiser31, ist very importent for me. You do not know whether they were manufactured in Germany or just imported the USA?

  14. My friend discovered an old Chrysler that has a data tag in German. It is said that it is type 65 from 1928, but it does not match engine performance and content. It is said that it was made in Germany, but I do not know that it would be a production factory in Germany. Photo data tag is from that car. Can someone help me with the determination of the car, when and where it was made and what is the type. It's definitely a six-cylinder.

     

    Thank you

    I think your car is not Type 58 but Type 50. Type 58 had an oil level indicator in the engine made by the float 
    and the hand indicator on the engine block. Type 50 had only a rod inserted in the engine like today's cars.
    The steering wheel type 58 was also fitted with metal bars and long metal levers.
    Wheelbase only for type 58 109 "for other four-cylinder Chrysler only 106"
    You will find your type exactly according to FEDCO

  16. I search for the history of my car. According to FEDCO WC1 ... it was made in September 1925, but I do not know 
    what day. In that month, the 58 types were produced that had FEDCO WC0 - WC9 and WH0 - WH6 assigned. 
    Does not anyone know how many Chrysler four-cylinder cars made monthly? According to that, I could determine the 
    probable day or the week of my car production.
    I've found that my car is the oldest Chrysler in my country. So I'm also interested in whether you know of a 
    four-cylinder Chrysler that would be even older than my car after FEDCO. Chrysler has unfortunately not recorded 
    records in its archives since 1930. Earlier, he does not.
    If anyone knew something,thank you for your information and help.
