Marbeton, I have found both a speedo and speedo casing for the speedometer cable. The cable casing is very nice, clean and flexible, the speedo looks good and turns both the odometer and  speed drives. The cable itself is not there. This mounts on the bottom of the speedo housing with a single fastener. If this helps let me know. Rob

Hi again Rob,

 

could you send me a length of a speedo casing for the speedometer cable?

I dont have it and for replication i need diameters.

 

Thank in advance.

Also, two ( L & R) tail lights?

I think, the tail lights were completition later, when he had to be on both sides. In our country, certainly.

The front vent on the side of the hood looks so close to the front edge that it makes me wonder if the whole hood wasn't shortened.

 

It looks like the hood of the Buick 1933, has 5 holes, but certainly not from Plymouth. You're right in that it is probably shortened from six-cylinder or eight-cylinder engines. The whole body is probably from another car and a lot redone. The serial number was in the box with the other parts, and maybe not even belong to this body. It feels like a two-door sedan body type with cutaway roof. But whats type??

Sorry I don't see one single piece on that car that looks remotely like a Plymouth.

 

Plymouth U motors did not have a water pump but relied on a thermo siphon cooling system.

Thank you, I agree with you about the engine. The body is still a mystery though.

Looks more like a convertible sedan or phaeton rather than a convertible coupe to me. But the windshield seems atypical of an open car and is slanted more than I'd expect for a car of that era. Could the cowl be from one car and the body from another? Hood is definitely not Plymouth.

Hi,

thanks for your help. I also think the body is somewhat strange. I have no information about Plymouth making body convertible sedans. It's either, as you say, a body from a different car or it could be made on demand. The only think that's odd is that we found a Plymouth data tag among the parts.

Best regards

Hi Rob,

thanks for your message. It would help me a lot. I am definitely interested. Could you let me know how much you want for it and how much would shipping be to the Czech Republic?

Did you happen to remember who you sold your Chrysler (the one I have now) to?

Best regards

Hi Marbeton,

 Some time ago I think you asked for information on your distributor. There is one listed for sale on ebay buy it now for $50. If you are interested look under Chrysler 1926-1933 delco remy distributor.

Also, for your speedo parts, the AC company made for many different cars using basically the same working parts.

I seem to think the 1926-1928 Chevrolets used the same mechanism. I did have a very rough one lying around, but cant find it. If it turns up I will let you know.

Best regards

Viv.

Hi Viv,

thank you for the information. My problem with the distributor has already been solved. Now I'm only looking for a distributor rotor. My distributor is the 634-A type and on eBay they offer the 638-C. Do you know what the difference between these two is?

What you wrote about the speedometer AC is important for me, I'll try to get the parts from a different speedometer.

Thank you

Best regards

Hi,

they are photos from the second car, probably a convertible coupe. Or what body style is it? Does anybody know it or can anybody help me?

Was the U30 type engine with or without a water pump? If the engine number is Uxxxx, does it have to have a water pump? But my engine is without a water pump. Is it possible?

[Plymouth whats the type?]

Hi,

can you help me determine the type and year of production of two plymouth cars? The first one is a sedan with number 1514793 and engine number U211747. The engine is without a water pump. The second has number 1527832, is without an engine and it's probably a convertible coupe without a rumble seat. Did anyhing like that exist?

Thank you for your help

Marbeton , I do not believe the bodies are Budd as there is wuite a bit of wood in them. My Dad and I used to own this car, I have some paperwork for you if you wish to contact me.

hattiesgarage@comcast.net

Hi vintchry, thank you for your offer. Of course I am interested. I also think that Budd made only metal bodies and not wooden. I believe my Touring body was made either by Chrysler or Fisher. I am very interested in the paperwork you mentioned. What exactly is it?

To be a bit more specific, the Model 58 is a 1926 and may have different parts than the 1925 models. The Model 50 is a 1927 and the Model 52 is a 1928.

Hi keiser31, thank you for the information. Are you sure that Budd Mfg. Co. of Philadelphia made also the open cars (Touring) for Chrysler 58? Do you have any documents about it?

Best regards

Hi ,

 My 1928 Chrysler 52 and a 27 model 50 I restored had this same drive for the distributor.

 The shaft with the gear on it is driven by the tang engaging with the camshaft. There should be a small collar pined to the tang side to stop the gear and shaft from moving, you may have to shim the gear to get the mesh between the distributor gear and this gear shaft.

 I think you have a reproduction casting, but the side facing the radiator should be counterbored to take a welsh plug  that has to be tight so that the housing can hold oil to lubricate the gears. You have a third smaller hole facing the radiator, I don't know about the 1925 model but neither of the model 50 or 52 that I have built had this hole, but it is possible the earlier car may have had either a grease fitting or an oiler fitting at this point. Hope this helps.

 Sorry unable to load any pictures as I no longer own these cars.

Best regards

Viv.

 

Hi Viv, thans for your help. I also think that the third small slot will be to lubricate the gears and the big one is only to cover the camshaft gear. I´d say the casting isn´t reproduction as it has a type number on it, although it´s not easy to read. It´s a pity you don´t have any photos.

Hi,

I need your advice. On my 1925 Chrysler 58, four cylinder is missing some component in the drive to the distributor. I think it's a cover. The instruction book - manual is drawing something, but I do not know what it is. Can someone please send me a picture of what is missing there? Somehow I'd already done it, or if anyone has, I'd bought it. Several photographs of current condition attached.

Thank You
