  1. On the 1960-1962 Chrysler, to remove the signal switch first remove the chrome signal knob on the end of the lever ( unless its already broken off) then remove the chrome bezel around the push buttons ( 4 Philips Screws holding it on). Then you will see the turn signal switch is held in under the push buttons by two small studs with hex nuts on the ends facing you. Undo the nuts, put them in a baggie. Then you must reach up under the dash board and get your hand onto the signal switch from behind and pull it backwards and then down and out, under the dash board. The wiring from it is about 6 inches long with a connector on it that has to be unplugged from the other end. These switches regularly come up on Ebay, I have a 60 Chrysler myself that needs the switch replaced, and have a new one ready to go, just have to find the time to do it. If you don't have an Ebay Account, you may be able to get one from John Fowlie, at Big-M Automotive in Williams CA. Big M Automotive He has a wrecking yard full of 50s and early 60s cars with a huge amount of Chrysler Products . I would also recommend you join the Forward Look Discussion Forum, http://www.forwardlook.net/forums which is specifically for 55-61 Chrysler Products.
  2. This came to me through the WPC Club Email- Ian. If interested do not reply here but contact throug the email link below My 1956 Chrysler Plainsman Station Wagon Idea Car concept is consigned with Mecum auctions for their Monterey sale on Saturday August 14th. This should be of interest to WPC members coming in for the events at Pebble. . Thank you. Ed Jasinski 650-349-7244. ed5000@earthlink.net This station wagon is also the only wagon concept from any American manufacturer through the 50s and 60’ period that is known to exist. Introduced at the 1956 Chicago Auto Show, Corporate Styling Director Virgil M. Exner declared his alluring bronze metallic Plainsman Wagon concept to reflect “the colorful and casual way of life that typifies the nation’s westward movement, and is a bold expression of the suburban trend in American living.” Reddish-brown and white calf-hide upholstery and natural leathers interior. Bright gold colored Texas Longhorn body medallions. Modern padded white fabric top. Power windows and a fully automated tailgate and window. Concealed gas filler inlet, hidden from view within the retracting taillight. New features such as the rear facing “observation car” third seat, fully automated to rise into position or retract again in tandem with motorized stair steps crafted to slide in and out of the bumper. Climate controlled interior. The industry’s first hidden spare tire compartmentalized behind the rear wheel. Corporate executive directed upgrade to 413 C.I. power. Some history: In line with a corporate policy to divest of its Italian-built experimental cars for tax purposes, Chrylser gifted this show car to the President of all the Cuban Banks. But it wasn’t long before Chrysler’s international export manager who resided in Cuba with his family, found it necessary to step in and secure the car from undetermined fate following the sudden death of that bank president. Soon after, the executive and his family escaped with the Plainsman to the States as the situation in Castro’s Cuba became very grim. As the family of the Chrysler corporate executive stationed themselves throughout the world, the Plainsman stayed with them. Even to Australia where it was once converted to right hand drive. The car remained with the executive’s family for all of many years until it was eventually relinquished to a celebrated concept collection in the mid-west. And for just the last few years, preservation of the car has been the responsibility of another like-minded car lover.
  3. I've been talking to this gal by email for a few weeks now and she has finally decided on a price for this car. She has inherited it from her father who purchased it back in the mid sixties. It is an extremely solid 300-G 2 door hardtop with everything there and even the interior is in decent shape. This car could be a turn key driver but could probably use some brake work and fluid changes prior to driving it. She tells me she really can't see any rust and the trunk floor is solid. Having said that this is no guarantee and I would advise anyone interested in it to look at it or have someone local go take a look at it first before making any decisions. The car is located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Below is her ad: For Sale - 1961 Chrysler 300-G, very good original condition, minimal rust. Owned by my late father since ( the year ) . Everything is there and complete, no modifications. It has a decent original interior and can be driven and enjoyed as is or restored. There aren't many original un-restored 300-Gs left that are as good as this one. Cross Ram induction system still there and intact. May need minor work like brakes, fluids, fuel system etc. to get it in driving condition. $32,000.00 USD. For more information and photos.......Natasha Saad , 780-983-1796, 3989 McMullen Green , Edmonton, AB, T6W 1S7, email- tamich13@gmail.com

Equipped with 318 Poly V8, 3-speed pushbutton Torqueflite transmission, power brakes, power steering, original AM radio, remote outside mirror, Satellite dashboard clock, split bench seat interior, dual exhaust. Have owned and maintained since 2001 after purchasing from IL, car was originally from Arizona and is now located in NH. Has only been used in summer months since being brought here in 2001. Very dry car underneath with excellent floorboards and no rust in trunk. Has all of its original stainless trim and exterior chrome in very good condition. Taillight and headlight bezel chrome is excellent, no pitting on exterior Dodge and Phoenix emblems. Originally a Fawn color inside and out, the car was at some point repainted a two-tone tan/beige color with a chocolate brown metallic roof. Original interior was also redone in the past to match outside colors with a brown and white pleated vinyl, including the door panels. Paint is shiny and interior is in great condition including carpet, armrests, and headliner. All glass is clear with no chips or scratches. Used locally for cruise nights and shows, always stands out in a crowd. Needs some minor attention to be perfect: current power steering box has a pinion seal leak and some small blisters are forming on the lower rocker panels in front of the rear wheels. Overall the car is in very good condition for its age and is a solid and presentable driver with no rust issues in the usual problem areas on these cars. Always starts right up and everything works (all lights, directionals, wipers, radio, clock, remote mirror). Rear package shelf has 6x9 speakers for use with under-dash removable FM Stereo cassette, can be easily removed. Would be perfect for a 1960 Dodge enthusiast looking for a nice example of this attractive and hard-to-find body style. Price is $12,500. If you have any questions or would like more specific photos and information, email Dave Walker at dwalker6697@comcast.net97@comcast.net
  7. As above, send the gauges to JC Auto. He rebuilds them. The dash gauges and speedo are by electroluminescent lighting, basically phosphorous coated ceramics with a current running through it, on each gauge to light them up. There are no bulbs. Each gauge also has a wire running to the needle which lights up. Over time those wires which are no thicker than a hair, corrode, weaken and break. JC Auto ( Jeff Carter ) can rebuild them. I've had 2 of these cars with the same dash, formerly a 1962 Chrysler 300 and currently a 1962 Chrysler Saratoga. Jeff has rebuilt a couple of gauges for me. The gauges are fairly easy to remove once you remove the access panel under the steering column held on by 6 philips screws. Each gauge has 2 screws holding it into the dome base. Unplug the wire module, unscrew the mounting screws and gently lower the gauge out. MAKE SURE you disconnect your battery ahead of time.

  20. My Mom bought a brand new 1977 Cordoba. I've owned both a 78 and an 80 myself. They were good cars once you got rid of the electronic lean burn system. There is a dedicated Cordoba Web Site, at http://cordoba.dte.net/ but it hasn't had an update in quite some time.
  21. This car is for sale locally, about 100 miles from me, here on Vancouver Island, Canada. The guy who restored it was in our WPC local region for a while, and I saw this car at one club tour back in the late eighties or early nineties. It's very nice and its a steal at only $6700.00 Canadian, which would be around $5600.00 US. At this price its worth someone shipping it anywhere in North America. Take this link to contact the seller : http://www.usedvictoria.com/classified-ad/7550868
