Individual car clubs and their meets as well as flee markets
Of course traveling is often required but the fun of going to new places is enjoyable and walking is good exercise
55 continuous years searching at Hershey is my favorite therapy
I may not always find things but usually make contacts with vendor's, by using example of parts or pictures of my wants.
I look forward to hear of other methods

Morgantown Pa.
I have visited this establishment a few times and been impressed with the physical layout and the helpfulness of the associates there
They take vehicles on consignment.
So depending on your location you may wish to check their operation to see if it is a good match for your needs.

I do not use the old mags for reference, too difficult to reference for my cars. Not many issues with cars I have had in them.
The stair way to MY room over garage was so difficult to traverse with books on every stair that I decided what to do.
So last week I took the last ten years to a boat motor club meeting and passed them out.
So many calls telling me how they liked looking at them.
I still have many many years stashed in my storage barn in 20 or more heavy duty Dole Banana boxes.
The hospital waiting room is my next intended drop off point.
Any one else with ideas I can use in spreading the joy of old Cars and AACA?

sorta looks like a fender bauble from the angle.
weather a grill shell or headlight ring, it may have a semi pointed top to the chrome trim
No idea
-
well it has a 6 cyl cam, so with your number 606Y I have no match.
went thru all 600 numbers looking for suffix Y
found three Y suffix, but no 6 in third place
But I do have a 636Y which is a Studebaker 61928 Dict 6
1929 Dict 6 GE
1929-30 Com 6 GJ
Hollanders Manual
perhaps this gives you "tail to chase"
best wishes

Pedro, The engine number is always on the left side of the engine block, at the front, below the cylinder head.
If you can find the letters and numbers it may help us to identify if I am correct about your engine.
-
Pedro, you have an interesting composite of a rally car.
My comments about your car should not stop you from enjoying it!
I will go by picture with what I think I see:
Picture 1:
Engine looks like a Plymouth/Dodge ( Chrysler family) not a :
Hudson
Carburetor looks like a Holly for Ford for 1957 to 1962
///////////////////////////////
Pict 2
Water out let from cyl head is straight up with a rather flat mounting flange to head. (Older Chrysler style)
Distributor has vacuum advance, if there is a tag on it, what are the numbers?????
Starter has no switch on top, any numbers on starter????
Generator, are there numbers on the tag?????
Steering gear box looks like Gemer, as used on Hud/Essex cars.
Front axle, Hud/Essex type, also springs and part of front spring forging.
Front brake backing plate and drum look like 1929 Essex ( other pict looks like wheel has 6 bolt holes like Essex the Hudson had 7
Neat conversion to hydraulic brakes. ( I personally would to see the parts and method they used)
Bell housing for trans looks like an adapter, Wilcap Company?
(You mentioned the shifting pattern in your first posting. I do not understand your description of the shift pattern .)
//////////////////////
Pict 3 rear view
taillights look like Ford Model A
rear frame looks like Hud/Essex on right rear forging there should be the car serial number stamped into it.
1928 style windshield
Wire wheel, I can not count spokes, but 1929 Essex had 60 spokes, what size tires?
( I do not see a demount able ring on wheel to remove tire.
Rear fenders seem to have a filler panel to move them outboard.
/////////////////////////////////
Pict 4
there seems to be a lot of modifications to the body: upper cowl extended rearward, doors cut down substantially rear of cockpit reduced also.
( note Hudson and Essex used many same parts, but doors were different length from front hinge to rearof door. What does your measure???
/////////////////////////////////
Pict 4
Steering wheel looks strong but I thing not Essex.
emergency brake handle seems way forward under cowl area.
Transmission lever not on a tower like Hud/Essex
////////////////////////////////
Pict 5
Door and body redesigned extensively
Measure length of door from hinges to handle end. This is the primary determination of Hudson or Essex body.
////////////////
Pict 6
Original dash panel seems recessed under redesigned cowl. The shape of the opening for instruments is like 1928 and 1929.
Trans mission lever makes me want to see more of engine and transmission.////////////////////////
Pict 7
Battery box looks good
Transmission lever makes me want to see more to identify it.
//////////////////////////////////

I have them, but a dedicated person can use a long needle nose pliers or a tongue depressor ( like Dr office ) or piece of coat hanger wire.
Just straighten the tee and pull it up.

My old Dykes Manual has the fix:
Use a spare tire, and "Tap or Rap " the end of the motometer on it until the RED fluid is at the base. -
Well, I would think that a working switch is sooooo much better than no switch.
Any driver will learn the order of the light/switch sequence.
On one of my cars, sequence is Off, cowl light, bright head light and dim head light.
The add for the switch had two other manufacturers preferences.
-
Why not buy them all, and modify them to help others
-
Here is one on ebay now for 35 dollars, buy it now NOT MINE
I saw it the other day and then saw your note
a Chrysler product so some mod needed but its there and reasonably priced

Looks like a tag on the starter and a partial tag on the distributor.
That is possibly our beat chance to identify it.
-
Any numbers on distributor tag or starter tag?
Any thing that might be an engine serial number?
Interesting looking motor, Over head valve or valves?
-
1. Bjornv, do you have a starter?
( what is your actual need ? )
2. If in need of a starter, or repair of one then the booklet previously listed as being on Ebay has pictures and parts listing.
( not my book )
3. Personally. I am always collecting information about things I am interested in.

we hope others will chime in to help you identify your neat car.
Initial observation is that of an Essex Sportabout, or also called a Boat Tail body.
the Grill shell certainly resembles a 1928 Essex shell.
Rad Shell is mounted higher with a filler strip added to meet Hood.
The cowl has the hole for the Saddle Cowl lights.
The hood louvers are at an odd angle to the hood hinge line, perhaps metal added.
Front and rear fenders are a different conformation than I am used to, they look very European and the fender light looks "MG like.
Essex Serial Numbers
337845 to 439752 (1st series)
439573 to 499999 (2nd Series)
wheel base 110½ inches.
/
Serial number of 405213 seems to fit into the earlier set of numbers for Series 1.
/
Now it would be much better to have pictures of engine and transmission.
The length of the wheel base from hub cap to hub cap, will be more meaningful.
On right rear frame horn to spring support, there should be a serial number stamped into the forging part.
//////////////////////////
There is too much to note in comparing this picture to what is familiar to me.1.Windshield is a style used in 1928 by several car lines including Essex and Hudson.
2. Bead line on hood and cowl are similar to Essex
3. radiator shell appears similar to 1928. ( 1926 had a peak at top center of shell )
4. the length of the drivers door from front to back
5 Picture of dash
6. additional pictures of body from sides and rear.
7. Are there front wheel brakes?
/////////////
A lot of things come to mind and if car was campaigned in races the body may have been put on another chassis.
I know several people will be looking forward to your responses and additional pictures.

Just reflect on the wonderful amount of information that is provided with the help of so many AACA helpers.
That is what is so good about our AACA people.
I wrestled with the same thoughts, and decided to obtain a 2 Post, 10,000 lb, Challenger. Had it installed by local Rep distributor of the company.
At 79 crawling to adjust arms under car is not bad, the best part is having most any part at the height I want.
Let us know what you decided to do-
