There are many different sizes of these pullers so you must be certain what you are looking for and what is being sold to you. I found one at Hershey last year for my 28 Model 72, better if you could examine and measure what you are buying yourself. Many of the ones I see on ebay are being offered by people who do not know the exact size of the puller. In the photo above I prefer the puller with the locking bolt on the side. It insures a tight fit even if the threads are worn. You cannot pull the rear hubs on your Chrysler without one of these pullers.

wanted 1956 Chrysler Windsor 2 door body side moldings
leomara replied to durospeed's topic in Chrysler Products - General
HA! c49er, no one makes anything for old Chryslers, it's pretty much a Ford and Chevrolet world out there for reproduction parts. -
I had to comment on what alsancle said above. Yes! I restored a 1930 Model A coupe about 23 years ago and am recently tackling a 1928 Chrysler roadster. The cost of any type of physical restoration work has become astronomical. We have lost all our service related workers to retirement and the younger generation seems to have little interest in those types of jobs. Having mechanical, body and upholstery work done by anyone other than yourself has become a luxury of the wealthy. This disturbs me because I've been in this since the late 1960's. it is small wonder why many younger people cannot even consider pursuing this great hobby.

Matt, how you did what regarding welting?
-
I'm about to welt the frame on my 1928 Chrysler Model 72 roadster and having done this before on a Model A coupe I've got some questions. First I can now buy welt that is with or without an adhesive backing. Sounds good because keeping it in place while trying to sandwich it between the frame and parts to be mounted always was difficult. Second once in place I've always had problems making holes in it so that mounting bolts could easily pass through. I'm certain there will be many suggestions so thank you in advance.

Don't really know what is motivating this narrative, you would think Pennzoil would want to sell oil not curtail it. However, on a non-automotive but oil related topic last year I bought a new pressure washer with a Briggs & Stratton gas engine and their narrative was that I would never have to change the oil, just add more as needed. It all sounds rather bizarre and I don't get it.

I should have been more specific in my comment. Sure, all cars eventually have their headlights moved into the front fenders, I just do not care for the style when applied to 1920s - early 1930s cars. On another note I believe that Pierce coupe would make a fine restoration candidate. It's quite an automobile.

I'm working on a 1928 Chrysler Model 72 roadster and I was fortunate to find a decent used radiator which only required a minor repair. The radiator technician who did the cleaning and repair warned me not to use anything to flush the radiator other than water and no pressure. This may be because of the honeycomb design or just because the radiator was 95 years old. He is well versed in his profession.

To each his own, I never cared for the appearance of the fender-mounted headlights on the Pierce Arrow automobile. Was that feature ever copied by any other manufacturer?

Windshield parts model72 and 75
leomara replied to BlueDevil's topic in Chrysler Automobiles and Parts - Buy/Sell
I found a pair of windshield wing nuts on Ebay that fit my Model 72. One difference is my wing nuts do not have the threaded shank, they have internal threads and the threaded shank is part of the stanchion assembly. The convex washer would be a good find, do you have the dimensions? Looked online for convex washers and there are many, just need the approximate size and a chrome plating. -
NO PRESSURE in this radiator!

Mothballs Are Combustible/Flammable (Naphthalene) Now What?
leomara replied to leomara's topic in General Discussion
Yes Rocketraider I've been driving the vehicle with the mothballs in place with no incidents. Problem Solved: This product and it's reviews indicates it works using oils to produce an odor that mice and other vermin do not like. Wanqueen 4 Pack Rodent Repellent for Car Engines -
I've been using mothballs for years to successfully keep vermin out of my engine compartment on a vehicle parked outside. I kept them in small plastic containers with holes mounted on top of both inside fender wells under the hood. Now I've come to know they are combustible according to what is printed on the box. Substitutions???

Difficult crud, if accessable, a wire wheel does wonders.

Hi Bloo, yes my Chrysler has shocks, well actually Hassler wound strap shocks, not very effective I'm told.

Evil bay is unfortunately what has evolved from the once sacred flea market and I must confess I participate in the sacrilege. It's become a real excrement show with specific searches bringing up so many unmatching hits. And when we are talking about car parts many of the sellers have no idea what they are even selling. I would love to see more items posted for sale on these forums (AACA).

chrysler supplied tools for 1929 75s
leomara replied to tcslr's topic in Chrysler Products - General
Interesting jack. Can we get some more photos please? -
This topic is very interesting because my 1928 Chrysler Model 72 roadster's owners manual specifically says not to lubricate the spring leaves at all. Apparently all that movement is allocated to the rubber ends on the springs themselves encased in the clam shells mounted to the frame. Puzzling indeed?

Does anyone have one of these that could be used to cast reproductions?
