    Throwing this line in the water. (my first post so hopefully this is the correct section) 
    I'm trying to track down a 1932 Dodge Sedan in the greater Portland/vancouver area that was originally purchased by my grandparents in 1932, then fully restored by my parents in 1980, it won 1st place in 1982-1984 at Forest Grove Concours (i've contacted them in parallel to see if they can also help). 

    My parents sold it to a local in 1999 and I'm trying to track it down. I don't have the VIN unfortunately. 
    color: dark burgundy

    any resources or hints that people have to begin triangulation is greatly appreciated. 
    cheers! 

    Does the car have side mount spare tires or rear mount?

    Greetings! We just found an interesting old clock and would like to know more about it. Like how to open it without breaking something. And were these really used in cars?0312241312_Film1.jpg.724a46514ca5d0c158d74878c15ddb7e.jpg

    Yes. Some of them were mounted in the interior, rear view mirrors.

    General Motors, makers of Pontiac, didn't switch to hydraulic brakes until later in the mid 1930s. Wheels could have been changed, but chassis design looks about 1930 also. Chrysler Corporation was the first of the big three to go with hydraulic brakes. Maybe Plymouth?  Does the one hubcap have a name on it?

    Chrysler products had a stamped number on the frame, not riveted tags.

    Hi John

    does this help at all? It's from a Ross Roy Sales Data Book I have. No other multi-colored looks and no mention of colors for the RS Coupe or any other models (unfortunately) .

     

    Also have the other models in different colors though (Phaeton, Coupe, Sedan, Roadster) if any of those would help let me know and I'll send to you in PM.

    @nearchoclatetown still working on scanning this. It's a wealth of information for those 30-33 guys looking for answers (hopefully).

    I also have the brochure and I appreciate your posting them to me. That multi-colored car is a mystery and the guy got all indignant when I acted a bit skeptical about the colors. I have been researching the 1931 Dodges since about 1968 and have never seen those colors on any brochure. The rumble seat coupe looks like it has reflections on it and maybe not so many colors as his car has. Artist renderings are deceptive.

    John, I am sure you've done all the normal stuff, Google name, Roster, OLD rosters, etc. Good looking car! Joe Cozza has one similar in Conn, about the same color but I doubt that is it. There was also a maroon car in Canada. When restored the guy had it painted like the brochure, looked like a Harlacan? VW from the '96 Olympics. He used every color available from the factory, different color fenders and doors. Did a super restoration, we called it the clown car. I'd have to do some research to remember his name. I heard he died about 3 or so years ago, really nice guy. I forget which meet he had it to. Had a beautiful brown '18 touring at upper Mich. and a beautiful '36ish pickup in Texas. 

    I don't think he was in the Dodge Brothers Club when he lived in Michigan.
