  1. @beemergb FWIW, this posting shows it sold back then: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/chrysler-straight-eight-324-cu-in.1082653/ posting is for a model C23 with the 323ci 8, which would be distinct from a CD, if that matters to you.
  2. It’s a 1931-1932 Plymouth model PA not PB.
  3. Production numbers on the preceding A400 (may be more authoritative source) : https://www.mcecars.com/vehicles/715/1931-ford-model-a400#
  4. Here’s the imperial website for 1933, in case your interested: https://www.web.imperialclub.info/Yr/1933/index.htm
  5. In 1948 the 8 cylinder engine and hydramatic transmission were such a popular combination that some cars that were slated to have the automatic with a six cylinder were changed on the assembly line. There’s a somewhat crude secondary plate under the main one indicating that. The Pontiac club ran an interesting article about it a few years back.
  6. FWIW: The front sheet metal (e.g. nose, hood, hood sides) appear to be 1939 Chrysler.
  7. In case you’ve not found it yet, the imperial club has owners manuals, service bulletins, etc. for your car available free for viewing: https://www.web.imperialclub.info/Yr/1939/index.htm
  8. Here it is: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/d/emeryville-1951-plymouth-cranbrook/7666800184.html
  9. I saw this on Facebook Market Place. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/812860643610548
  10. @Hemi Joel in case you’re still looking… You migh check this (May / May not be usable) online auction out of Winnemucca, NV https://beta.govdeals.com/asset/147/21935 there’s also an old post here, in case you didn’t see / follow up (does not state sold):
  11. Anyone making a purchase would want to clarify ownership, as the ad states “I bought it for my ==> ex <== back in 97, it was in his name and he passed away.”
  12. Thank you for posting. I think this is the same car from the prior sale:
  13. https://themarmonclub.com/wp-content/pdf/marmons-for-sale.pdf
  14. @Leif in Calif A fair assessment. Multi-make car clubs can help to bridge the gap sans parts. However, when your Marmon 70 has a specialized oil distribution tube that can’t be found, general club wisdom prevails. Similar for a Durant 60, I would think. Maybe there’s an active nickel era HCCA, golden era, AACA or similar club around.
  15. Durant Club for those who may be interested: https://durantmotors.shop
  16. My suspicion is that the 1951 buyer would have been satisfied: https://www.mopardiy.com/the-history-of-chryslers-original-hemi-engine/
  17. 1950 Presto-Matic, from the manual: https://www.web.imperialclub.info/Yr/1950/50Owners/Page13.htm
  18. Hopefully you’ve found a radiator cap by now. American Arrow Corp. used to reproduce (a very similar) one in stainless. It may still be available, see this thread for a potential contact:
  19. Here’s the Craigslist ad text, note the addition : 1956 CHRYSLER WINDSOR-- CONVERTIBLE-- AUTO--V8--331 MOTOR-- NICE PAINT AND INTERIOR-- NO RUST--RUNS GREAT-- OWNED SINCE THE 90S--ALL ORIGINAL-- TOP NOT WORKING-- MUST SEE IN PERSON--IN ALHAMBRA-- $39,999-- NO TRADES-- CASH ONLY-- SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY-- HABLO ESPANOL-- THANKS--
  20. In 1939 New Yorkers and Saratogas had special interiors and some minor exterior trim differences that the Imperial did not.
