1949Chrysler

Thanks very much for the reply. So I currently have it taped in the general area. Regards, Brian

Wiring Harness from the Trunk area: Back up Lights, Brake Lights and Gas Tank Sending Unit. How does this wiring assembly route? Does it rest upon the "floor" under the carpet? Along the Drive Shaft Tunnel? In my photo I have it taped down and questioning my route. Any suggestions? --Brian

I’m looking through this thread and now realize I need the “cap” part in photo 2 & 3 and the spring. Anybody have parts available?

Life has gotten in the way.............. After 8 years I am soon to install new Windshield Glass and new Gasket in my 1949 Town and Country. (Disassembly was 8 years ago) I am seeking knowledge of how to do this. I reviewed the Chrysler Master Tech-1951 Volume 4-4 Windshield Service. Is this accurate? Does anybody have some guidance they would like to share? I am assuming: (using soapy water and spray bottle) Shiny Trim pieces into the Gasket both sides Glass into the Gasket both sides Install "tug" rope terminating at the bottom Lift and locate entire "assembly" over the pinch weld opening of the windshield frame opening. Soapy Lube the entire area Set the bottom along the entire lower edge Start the rope tug from the bottom to one of the sides ensuring there is somebody on the outside pushing the glass. Work up to the Center top then start the other side. Am I thinking correctly? How much beer is needed for this? Regards, Brian

OMG! Rusty .......thanks very much....I owe you a beer!!

Anybody have the paint numbers for the Ensign Blue used in 1949? Ditzler? PPG?

Saw another like your photo last year down in Los Angeles, Ca. Was really beat and rusted. Considered it for parts, but couldn’t find anything that was straight.

Thanks, felt like I was getting dizzy turning my head.

Thanks Bob. I wasn’t sure if there was a special Chrysler number. I will try to match what I have. I hope all is well with you

I am now tackling the convertible top for my 1949 Town and Country. I would like to know what the paint color is for the convertible frame. Currently it is a light Tan color? Is there a standard paint call out? Part Number? Brian

Blinkers don't work at all. When I acquired the car they weren't working. Replaced the lights and the flasher, still nothing! Figured it was best to check the steering column Brian

Any information on how to pull the Steering column apart to repair/inspect my blinker assembl?. Fuse is good, blinker itself is new, but no action.

Thought I would ping you and hope your move has gone well. Settled in? Thought I would to find out about the hood ornament for the hood. Found it?
