[1936 Chrysler Airstream Convertible Sedan Value/Rarity?]

Hi Guys

i purchased a very nice 1936 Chrysler airstream convertible sedan about 4 years ago, ( from the USA) i paid $60k usa dollars and then did work on the brakes, water pump, fuel pump, rebuilt the gear box and many other small things.

My car has just completed a 3000  mile rally without any problems.

I also own a 1936 4 door twin side mount sedan right hand drive; and a 1936 C8 convertible coupe

they only made about 497  4 door convertible sedans ( 6 cylinder) and only 240 straight 8 convertible coupes

All three cars have factory overdrive, one has the factory radio, two have the deluxe steering wheel

cars with overdrive have the speedo with 3 sets of numbers, and the hand brake on the rear wheels

Why Tom?

This is how people with the unknown get educated. Look at the 20 + plus years being into Mopar and they still learn something new. You be surprised how many people said that I didn't know what I was talking about with e brake not rear axle installed until the 60s. WALA!

Hi

i own two 1936 Chrysler C6 airstreams

Only the Chrysler and desoto had the hand brake on the rear wheels IF THEY HAD AN OVERDRIVE the Chrylser also had a different speedo same face as the airflow but gold in colour.

The 1936 Chrysler C6 & C7 if they had overdrive had rear wheel brakes, this was a heavy overdrive which was called the first type - one peice

the 1937 and later had a two piece type over drive which had the hand brake on the back of the gear box, my understanding is that all later overdrives had the hand brake on the gearbox, and that only the 1936 with the heavier overdrive had the hand brake on the rear wheels.

They also had special rear wheel cylinders as they are mounted upside down - to miss the hand brake linkage.

i hope this helps

[1936 supercharged graham engine rebuild.]

Is there a shop in the Michigan area that is experienced at rebuilding Graham engines, 1936 supercharged model 110?

I used to own a supercharged Graham and found that continental fork hoists motors are a good supply of parts for the Graham motor as they are basically a continental motor

I have a 1936 Chrylser Airstream and yes the tail light does have a chrome spider web cover. Do you have any spare differential parts, mainly crown wheel and pinion.

Thanks Ray from New Zealand
