As far as value goes, "not much" in the shape its in. Rear ends are plentiful, the frame is pretty roached, the wheels look like they are rusted bad, torque tube and driveshafts are plentiful also. Brakes might be the only thing that would be worth anything at all and they look to be 6" mechanical, and everyone is looking for the 9" hydralic. Where are you located Red Frog?

Are the wheels 12"? Crosley frame.

Crosley 1946-52

More work on the Mark III. Was a busy week at the shop so not much time to do side jobs but did get some filler on the bad areas and then another coat of sealer primer. Hopefully now a good sanding and it will be ready for color. Maybe...

Work continues on my niece's Mark III. Was finally able to get some epoxy primer from the auto parts. This Covid-19 sure has everything messed up. I wanted light gray but they didn't get any in. Got a coat on and then put some Allmetal filler on it. Hopefully by the end of the week I will have this side in pretty good shape. Last Friday, dad and I went to Carlisle for Spring Carlisle. It was very busy and lots of people. It really upsets me to see all these people riding mobility carts, mopeds, motorbikes, golf carts etc. Now don't get me wrong, I don't mind those that are physically disabled riding them, but there are a lot of people using them to get around that should be walking! Yes, there is a lot of area to cover and without them you might not be able to cover the whole swap meet, but how much do you see as you fly by on your cart. And the drivers of these carts seem to think they have the right of way. I don't know how many times I was sideswiped by a cart while walking on Friday. And the other thing that bugged me was the wagons and such for hauling parts, kids, food etc. The carts get bigger and wider and longer every year. This year I even saw a double trailer wagon, (a wagon attached to another wagon that was at least 10' long) They pull these thing around and I think they forget they are wider than they are and I got hit by by several of them and there parts that are hanging out over the edges of the wagons and carts. Something needs to be done before someone gets hurt by the carts and wagons. There was too many people in the walkways to have all these carts and wagons. Ok, off my soapbox! 😂

Still have one at my shop, not in use anymore but still hanging on the wall.

Matt, that magic marker doesn't look like hardwood! Lol. Looking sharp, keep up the good work.

Vandergrift Museum in Vandergrift PA. has a 1925 Ahrens Fox fire truck in the museum. Painted muck colored green. Belonged to the Vandergrift fire department. Steering the thing takes two men and a boy!!!

Looks like his vin fits in that range???

He has the manual.

Looking good! One part at a time. Can't wait to see it in the Lincoln again.

Lacquer thinner will break it down, it takes time though. Ask me how I know!

Look just below where the horn is mounted on the block, there is a machined area on the side of the block( just below the head) and there should be a number there. This is a 1948 Chrysler engine. If you look just ahead of the black oil fill tube you can see the number.

OP car has "Cruiser Skirts" on it. There are also differences in the door trim lengths on the hardtop and Skyliner. Look at where the two pieces of trim come together below the door handle, on the Skyliner the single trim is longer on the door going rearward than the hardtop by maybe 2-3". The door key lock is incorporated in the trim on the Skyliner and separate on the hardtop.

Yep, looks like a match for that.

Hood trim looks like 1960 DeSoto. Headlight trim looks to be from a canted headlight system, but it is not 61-63 DeSoto or 58-60 Lincoln from what I can see. Are there casting numbers on the back of them?

It definitely is a retractable. Split in roof and long deck lid.

Looks like a Chrysler 6 cylinder engine, used for many years in many variations and sizes.

Still using a Ammco Brake lathe in my shop just like that one. Wish I had the unidentified attachment for mine! It gets less and less usage every year with the throw away rotors of today's cars.

Looks the same as the one in the 1948 Chrysler Windsor.

I have stopped working on it to get my niece's Mark ready for her to enjoy this summer. The people that own the Chrysler are in no hurry.

With the weather warming up, I got back on the bodywork on my niece's Mark III. Two bad areas almost done with metal work. One more to go on this side and then on to the other side.

Checked on length, it is 24". This was the original one on the car.

I think it was 24"
