Chrome for my Pierce and nickel for my 72 came today. 

 

Chrome on left Nickel on right

Nice work but should the 72 parts be chrome. all parts on my 1928 ///72 are chrome

or did different years have chrome/or nickle

 

[Tracing Chrysler 72 History]

I thought i would have one last shot at getting information on where my 1928 chrysler 72 conv coupe came from

its right hand drive speedometer in km

my guess is montevideo  in uruguay where cars were right hand drive and speedo in km

i am basing  this on the word on the windscreen being montevideo

could anybody confirm if the wording on screen is montevideo

Thank you in advance for any help

I am undecided as to fitting whitewalls to my 1931 lasalle 
I have whitewalls on my 1928 Chrysler 72 but I am not keen on them with the color of my car  

if they were the same size as the Lasalle I would probably swap them round

your thoughts good or bad are welcome

Very cool but basically a heavy aluminum over wood body frame on a fairly heavy (for type of car) frame without the power to move it along.  I love the look but the TR cars were just so much more agile.

A lot of hardy souls here, but driving in an open car in the rain when it's COLD outside is asking for a winter case of a Head Cold, which I don't want.

I still think this is a fair weather car.

Nice Car whatever the weather
