Yes, the joke was that they were a combination transportation and mosquito abatement.

Not as expensive as this car! These are nice cars, capable in modern traffic. Back in the 70's a ride pooled with a guy who had one. Very roomy inside.

Was "Like new" when originally purchased from the dealer! I always wonder when they say "ran when parked". Seems obvious unless it was towed.

Sold: $307,000.

These are a pre-war design. I don't know how the diesel pump tolerates sitting for long periods. I know the similar gas version doesn't like it at all! I had a friend many years ago who put this engine in a Model A. It has a near identical hp rating and even sounded similar. https://albuquerque.craigslist.org/cto/d/albuquerque-1952-mercedes-benz-170-ds/7596197537.html Very Rare 1952 Mercedes-Benz 170 DS Germany World War Two post war vehicle.

Looks like a very nice car. I'm unclear on it's location...is it still on the West Coast, or is the $750 in the price what was paid to get it East?

$69,500 Part of the ad says it's an Imperial. It's not, but it is a very impressive car.

Not mine, I just happened to see the ad and thought it should be posted. https://roswell.craigslist.org/cto/d/artesia-1926-chrysler-engine-maybe/7598085467.html =This Engine has been inside for the last 45 years it is not seized%2C it is missing distributor and starter but it is free come pick it up email 8f9db01bc22b3517b30eaee6e7df8346@sale.craigslist.org

I had to replace the 6 volt battery in the '25 Chey last year. I was surprised that the local Napa auto parts store had the exact one in stock. Apparently there is still a lot of older farm equipment that use them. $80 as I remember.

Lots of good here, too bad about the body damage. More pics in ad.... https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/cto/d/san-francisco-beautiful-1950-chrysler/7601918859.html I am selling a beautiful, rare, mostly original, 1950 Chrysler Imperial. I'm the second owner and have had the car for 26 years. The engine, a flathead straight 8, was completely rebuilt at 35k miles and now only has 78k. The Presto-Matic automatic transmission works great, 5 Speed. At the time I had the engine rebuilt, the car was also completely rewired. Everything works, including the power windows, the AM tube radio, the clock, the heater, and all the lights. I also added lap seat belts, 2 in front and 2 in the back. This car has been in for a final inspection and repairs. It has a new battery, new brakes, and fully serviced. This car been kept in a garage for 26 years and driven somewhat regularly. It's in excellent running condition, with no future issues. The paint is still the original color with some minor damage on the driver door and a couple of small oxidation marks, which is a natural patina for a 73 year old car. The chrome is in excellent condition, with minor dents on two small panel pieces, yet it is all there. This car was never in an accident. No dents in the body, and no rust. The seats have been recovered in the same wool mohair. The headliner and quilted doors are still original. There are factory inspection stamps on the firewall and factory OK inspection stickers. Chrysler hubcaps and tires are in great condition with a spare in the back. The details are classic and stunning! Huge bakelite steering wheel, back seat decorative ash tray, butlers finish dashboard, power windows that run off the battery, and more. I take it out to drive regularly, yet only put about 2k miles a year on the car at most. I have a battery tender to keep it charged. Still the 6V battery. This Imperial has always been well maintained, and driven carefully. This extraordinary Chrysler was featured in the San Francisco Chronicle My Ride bio in 2016. This beauty, Agnes, has been a pure joy to own and ride! Looking for a home that will continue to enjoy this beautiful ride. 395ef11f79d536e2b9ea10e94f811126@sale.craigslist.org

A sad fact everywhere. I search Craigslist with the filter that the car has to be prior to 1952. I bet less than 10% are still stock.

I wonder if J C Whitney still sells that spray on upholstery dye? I remember using some about 1979. It actually looked pretty nice but I did discover it could be a problem if you wear white pants

I didn't realize it was meant to attach to the differential. That's a pretty big chunk of metal you are hanging back there and would have an adverse effect if the road wasn't smooth. Might put extra load on the universals as well since they would see more angle when the axle moves up and down.

Looks like fun and seems priced about right.

Wonderful British contradictory name: Standard Special. Which is it? Others are correct that actual history will make a huge difference, but it is a very pretty car. Cars of this type (with period provenance) have a big following in the UK. If you are ever over there, take in a VSCC event, they get an amazing turnout of cars like this.

Maybe a little high on the price but looks like a nice driver.

I've never seen one either, which makes me skeptical. I can imagine that it would be helpful in a Muscle Car with short gears, I'd wonder if it or its mountings could handle the torque. As far as the Cobra, that's a definite NO. The drive shaft is only a few inches longer than this gizmo. Might as well claim it's a Duesenberg accessory.
