I got a call one morning from a car friend of mine when I was at work (1979). He said he was selling his cars and buying a boat. (Big mistake!) I had a couple of hours to get over to his place and make a deal on his 34 Dodge Conv Coupe that I had asked about a few times. If I didn't want it their were some hot-rodders coming over in the afternoon! Told the boss I was sick and left immediately for Deep Cover, just outside of Vancouver. It was stuffed under his carport on the side of a steep driveway. Needless to say I bought it and asked my wife for forgiveness afterword. That went better than I had anticipated. I had to get a crew of 4-5 guys to help and borrowed a trailer but the rescue went well. It was a great time and I still have many good memories about that adventure. I quickly found a correct 34 engine, trans and radiator and had it on the road looking like that for many years. It's at the back of my shop now still waiting for its turn. Ken

The crankcase is aluminum and the cylinders are cast iron. That was very typical in those days. Mitchell never had an 8 cyl engine that early. Maybe in the 20's?? You can see that my engine doesn't have removable cylinder heads. Again this was very typical back then . If the engine you know about has a removable cylinder head then it's probably 1915 or newer.

My 14 Mitchell 6-60 has a Rayfield on it from the factory. Seems to be a good carb. Ken

It was purchased at auction maybe 3 years ago by a fellow from West Van. It's in a restoration shop locally.

This same car is now in West Vancouver, Canada and is undergoing a full restoration.

Watch for a number of emails. You'll enjoy driving the Chrysler. It's very advanced compared to other 1931 lower end cars. Ken

This is what you're looking for I have it on my computer that I can send you. It's 79 pages long and is quite comprehensive. I refer to it all the time for my car Ken

In the spring I was lucky enough to acquire a 1914 Mitchell 6-60 6 pass. torpedo. It's front and center in my shop now. So what do you get someone who has a car like this? Well I was surprised and pleased to open a large box Christmas day and find a Mitchell dealer sign to hang on the shop wall. My son made this on his CNC. It's made of oak and is 39 inches long by 1 1/2 inches thick. He copied a pic of the sign he found on-line. I guess I going to need one similar for my 14 Premier. My birthday's in March!! Ken

I'm needing to get my wood wheels rebuilt for my 14 Mitchell. In the past I have had great wheel work done by Stutzman's. I've been trying to reach him now for 3 weeks and all I get is a busy signal. I know the procedure is to leave a message and Noah will return the call but I can't even get to that stage. I've been phoning 1-330-897-1391, the number on his business card. Has anybody heard if they are having difficulties or perhaps they've changed their phone #? Ken

I think my 31 Chrysler looks pretty good with the whites. So does the 31 Studebaker in the background Ken

I agree with you that the 2 cars you think are Mitchells are in fact that. They could be 1913, 1914, or 1915. They look very similar to the 14 6-60 sitting in my garage. Ken

That 40 Plymouth gets my vote!! Beautiful and unusual. Ken

This is very interesting to me as I have a 1912 Oakland and live in Surrey BC. I've had my car since the late 1970's and it's been restored since 1987. I wonder when Bob painted his picture? It's possible he saw my car somewhere and used it for a model. As far as I know there were no other 12 Oaklands in the province or possibly even in Canada until about 7 years ago when another was bought out of California. That car is in Maple Ridge today. Here are a couple of pictures of my Oakland Ken

The engine is almost identical to my 1912 Oakland engine which was made by Northway. I believe Coles used Northway engines for some of the years. Ken

I went through some old rosters I have for the Vintage Car Club of Canada and I believe I found out who owned your car in the 1990's. The car was in Abbotsford BC then and that owner passed away in 2017. If you want his name and address from that time send me an email thru the forum. Good luck with your car. Ken

What does the decal on the right window say? It looks very much like our Vintage Car Club of Canada one but I can't quite read it. Ken

I can't help on the oiler however my 14 Mitchell has the same Remy coil on it which is correct for my car.

I've run the original water pump on my 34 Coupe for the last 20 years and I've never had a problem with the engine overheating. Ken

Here's a picture of the tail light stand with license plate holder I need Ken

The 34 Dodge came with a vacuum operated clutch. That's the unit you're looking at. I don't think it was terribly successful and a lot have been removed over the years. I have this unit for my 34 but it's not installed. My Dad used to work on these in the day and he didn't have much good to say about them! Ken

Yes the 34 Dodges and Plymouths still had free wheeling and the knob is unmarked.
