This car seems familiar...I wonder if it was posted here some time ago. (I searched but did not find it)
I saw it here but probably a scam

Pot metal was not only an automotive problem. Any mechanical items that were mass-produced from the mid-1920s to the early 1930s contained pot metal and failure is expected. I run across it radios, clocks, piano actions, statuary, phonographs (especially reproducers), electrical switches and knobs, and elbows and nipples for vacuum lines. Swelling and cracking are obvious but often while looking good it will disintegrate with any usage.
When I was young ( in my mid-60s now) the oldtimers always said the fresh batch of metal they made on Monday made a good product but by the end of the week after constantly being reheated with the sprues and leftover metal being tossed in, you were lucky to get a year.
I hate the stuff but it seems to be part of all my restoration projects.

There used to be a dealer in that area named Tom Watling. I wonder if it's his inventory being liquidated.
Agree, running or not, it's a suspiciously low asking price.
Mr. Watling of Turlock CA, passed away on June 30, 2023. The restoration and enjoyment of old cars was a major interest. He belonged to both the Franklin Automobile Club and the Packards International Motor Car Club.

As much as it sounds like I need a treatment center, my handle goes back to when I started restoring jukeboxes in the 1970s. By the time email became a thing it was natural to use the moniker given to me by others as an address. By then I had 25 fully restored machines from the 30s to the first stereo ones in 1959.
I am down to 5 jukeboxes now but slipped back further in time and have nickelodeons, reproducing piano, and early radio/phonograph players
It wasn't worth changing my first handle.

What's happened to this forum lately? We used to see (recently) lots of offerings under $10k, but now we're looking at more and more cars at $20 to $50k and higher. Maybe fun to see, but way over market for most of us normal people. Nothing wrong with big-buck cars, but if you're looking for a driver (or near-driver) that you can afford to rehabilitate over time, these glowing examples of mechanical perfection are way out of bounds. Drivers of most every make and model are out there and being advertised. There's also lots of junk that can be skipped. Why can't there be at least an even mix of asking prices, low, intermediate,high, and ridiculous?
You have nothing for sale in this post and I find this complaint a little strange.
On this page of 40 listings, 18 are under $10,000. Yes, I have posted listings here that I find interesting or of good value but there is NO way to dictate what cars are available at any given time. I have to note some truly grievously priced listings are posted for amusement or to show hideous restoration practices but that is for fun.
My interest is in prewar vehicles and I do not expect to find complete running vehicles under $10,000. If there were only 1960 or newer vehicles in your price range I would not follow this link.
Be grateful for those who take the time and effort to post a vehicle here and am sorry that there is nothing that suits your interest or price range.
Maybe you should consult with the moderators to add a different category that you are interested in.

Anna Held?
Hard to tell my first guess was Edith Kelly Gould who was married to Jay Gould the Industrialist's son.
But Anna Held seems a better choice.

I grew up with the Buchan kids and their trucks all over Tacoma WA. Only post-war ones though.

Well, without the engine number or view of the speedometer in yours, I am pretty sure it is a CD 8 De Luxe Roadster. The De Luxe had the molding lines on the headlights like yours does and the Imperial. Of course, parts are hard to find now and someone may have put parts together but with 3 different models of the same car in the same year and a half. cars were originally made with parts on hand.

Interesting information! Thanks!
Curiously, no blue body is listed, so perhaps my color was chosen by a past owner or maybe it was optional. I know of at least another Roadster painted in the exact same way, first pic attached, though this one has a blue interior... mine has a dark tan or medium brown, as the second pic shows.
The second 1931 Chrylser shown is an Imperial Eight(note the chrome on the front of the rear fender) and you could probably get any color you want.

Need help deciphering the 2 steering arms (aka pitman arms). Both of these pitman arms (Chrysler refers to them as steering arms) came to me as Chrysler arms (one was on a CD8 Sedan donor car which had been hit hard front left), and I'm trying to determine just what they are. Both sort of fit the spline on the sector shaft for my '31 CD8 steering box, but will not go fully on. The longer, one is 10" and has holes 8" C/C, 1" thick and goes on spline about 11/16" and is stamped F-20176-1-1 (? Jan '31?). The shorter arm (which came on donor car) is 8.5" long and 6.5" CC, 1" thick and also on spline about 11/16" and is stamped F-21422. Neither of these part/casting numbers matches the steering arms listed in the pre 1934 Chrysler parts list. Normally I would expect a pitman arm to go almost fully onto the spline,,i.e. about 7/8"-15/16".
Can someone check other Mopar models parts list, Dodge etc and tell me if these stamping #'s show up? Or does anyone know the specific details for a CD8 steering arm. Chrysler lists the CD8 steering arm as part # 314607. Thanks.
I can only go by what is on mine but there is no stamped number and 6 1/2" between centers on the bolts. That being said I have an original Chrysler Eight De Luxe Parts List but finding the original and correct parts is almost impossible.
