At 86,000 miles: rebuilt motor, rebuilt alternator, new radiator, new springs, new front end, new top, new Legendary front buckets with new back panels, new carpet, new windshield washer reservoir, new electric antenna, updated sound system, new Edelbrock OE-style carburetor. This was my tour car and I put 25,000 highway miles on the car since the upgrades.
Cruise control works.
Problems: some rust, to wit the pan under the accelerator pedal and some on the pan on the passenger rear floor and a little in the trunk floor, and a little over the wheel well on the right rear quarter. The fuel gauge sending unit needs a ground. I always had to fiddle with the passenger rear quarter window to get it to go down.

Leo, I'm on the road right now but when I get back I'll look for those step plates. I know the bumper (front) is there.

I have a front bumper for a Model 72

It first struck me as looking a lot like a 226 Continental six cylinder. I wonder if if the Chrysler was any inspiration for the Continental design?
Skelton, Zeder and Breer were the engineer brains on the Chrysler sixes.

I'd like to know the year and the make of this car. It was in a thread somewhere on the net where the poster was asking about correct Chrysler engine colors. This one is a particularly beautiful example of a six cylinder flat head with the correct Avocado engine block and a Red Head high performance head. Kind of reminds me of the Christmas!
The car is a 1928 Chrysler Deluxe Sport Roadster. The car is in my care and Hattie's Garage (Rob Burchill) in Maryland did the pretty work. Hart Machine of Cecil, Ohio did the engine. The car was my dad's high school car in 1930. The fire wall should be body color but it's my tour car and it had been painted over black at some point and I kept it that way. And I agree that it's a most enjoyable restoration. I like the car most with the hood open.

Wouldn't the engine block be green? (Like the 1929 75)
I actually thought all the early Chryslers had green engines.
'72' and Imperial avocado. '52' and '62' black.

Satin black for the frame, radiator, headlight bar and tail light bracket. Fenders are black ($10 extra for body color). Engine block is black with a silver or red head.
The body colors had standard colors depending on the different Model and body styles.
Engine color avocado.

The drivers seat was hinged in the back and 'floated' up and down on springs. The passenger seat was hard to the deck. Speaking of my '72' Deluxe Sport Roadster.

Avocado with the Red Head. Matched it to original parts.

Harry,
What ever happened to Bill Zerega's 1928 Model 72 roadster. Does his son still have it? Earl Beauchamp

What do you want for the whole thing?

I'd like the engine and rear fenders

What was wrong with that CG Chrysler Imperial for it to go for $55K?

Anyone from the subject area driving to Hershey and has space to carry a side-shift, early transmission?

In the 'head on' picture, there's an engine on the right side of the frame. What is it, if I may ask?

Walt Federline sold out his stock and is wondering if there is an interest in making more. One of the guys made all new linkages for his 1910 REO and he told me it was a piece of cake making all the cotter pin holes.

What do you want for it?
