  1. Here is the earliest engine and serial number car that has survived. 1934 CW engine number is CW-1034, serial number on the body is 7803784. This car is now owned by Bruce Wallin in Chico California. The 1937 Major Bowes CW engine number is CW-1086. Serial number on the body is 7803840. The 1937 CW that has also survived is owned by the Phillippine Government , Manilla. Engine number is CW-1084. Body number is 7803842. My guess the Milton Hershey 1937 CW engine number was CW-1085 and Body number is 7803841 ????
  2. It's not a CW you mentioned. It's a 1936 C-11. Shorter wheelbase than a CW, 2 piece windshield, and less horsepower.
  3. The head is different, the water inlet had to be put on the side of the head instead of the top as on CG/CL. Reason: hood clearance. The CW's had an aluminum head. I don't know what the heads were made of on the CG/CL
  4. Out of the run of Airflow Custom Imperial's CW from 1934-1937, 11 have survived. 3-1934's, 5-1935's, 1-1936's, 2-1937's. Only 3 1937's where produced. Milton Hershey had one but, believed to have gone to the WWII scrap drive. Only the fender skirts survived. How many CW's where made??? All the engines manufactured in 1934. From my list of the 11 survivors, the lowest engine number is: CW1034, the latest number is CW1086. Unknown what number they started with? Maybe CW1000??? Hence maybe 86 engines??? The CW's rode on a 146 1/2 inch wheel base and the great 384.5 C.I. straight 8
  5. 3 of the 1934 CW Custom Imperial's have survived. One is the Century of Progress, Worlds Fair Show Car 8 pass. Limo.
  6. $19,000 with the trunk $22,900 without the trunk
  7. I know prices are crazy these days to restore a pre- WW2 classic car and have it done correctly to the highest standards. Paint, chrome, engine work, upholstery, etc. All have gone up. I know the big boy shops are booked with the billionaires and not afraid to charge them so they can win Pebble, other national events and a trophy. But in the real world, someone willing to pay for great work. What do you guys think per hour??? A real restoration shop with employee's, and not a backyard mechanic Thanks, Jim
  8. Seller Raised the price from $19,000 to $22,900 now ?????
  9. I know the feeling. Your 100% correct on how you feel. They should give you one of the parts they made because of your help. It's the unspoken truth. Jim
  10. What is the material used to recast, or repair a banjo steering wheel these days & the cost to have a professional do it? Thanks, Jim
  11. Thanks again TerryB, I see it is missing the red jewel in the center of the turn signal levers. Also, appears to be missing the 4 mounting stanchions for the lights. I am need of a couple of the glass arrow lenses. A couple of mine are broken. Thanks again, Jim
  12. Does anyone have Literature, Magazine Ad, or Brochure about the "Pines Directo" accessory turn signal arrow lights from the Teens-1920's, maybe early 1930's??? Each light has a tag on it, Pines Directo. I think these were made by the Pines Company, the same company that made all the radiator winter fronts??? Thanks, Jim
  13. Also, 1934-1937 Chrysler Custom Imperial Airflow 8 passenger Sedan's and Limo's had a 146 1/2 " W.B.
  14. Does anyone know if the 1934 LaSalle steering column is the same for the 1935 and 1936 models? I am looking for a steering column for my 34. Thanks, Jim I would also be interested in other parts for the 34 LaSalle
  15. Love the front seat upholstery. Do you think that is original? If so, its the nads
  16. That's what I thought. This looks like the car that use to be in Minnesota owned by a couple car different car collectors in the 1950's-1980's approx. Thanks John. Jim
