@cjmarzoli
The self shifter came out in 1934, as alluded to here:There are some transitory literature ads for sale right now that explain further details. Maybe others can point to a more definitive source.

Hello , Is the engine sold or if it is , have you got any other parts for the CD 8 ? Hope so thank you
@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. -

And I don't think you mean "Pierce Arrow"!
It’s a 1931-1932 Plymouth model PA not PB.

your 1948 Pontiac, is a Streamliner Eight Deluxe Sedan, the Silver Streak emblem is not part of the car's name, that emblem is the name of the engine, and the long waterfall trim on the hood and trunk lid. Interesting thing is the assembly plant mistakenly stamped the body style code 2609 which is for a Streamliner Six Sedan.
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.

FWIW: The front sheet metal (e.g. nose, hood, hood sides) appear to be 1939 Chrysler.

It was a 1916 model . It was built in Dec of 1915 , so I called it a 1915 and it was titled as a 1915.
Thanks!

ONE TOO MANY ZEROS........ I owned the second oldest Lexington known. It went back to its birthplace ,Connersville Indiana museum. It looks like a nice car though.

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.”

Thank you for posting.
I think this is the same car from the prior sale:

@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.

I also hope someone takes this on, but $10K is a lot for a car that needs everything and has little support in the way of parts or clubs.

1950 - Straight 8
1951 - Hemi V-8
The cars are basically identical. I always wondered . . . .
How many 1950 buyers said "Darn I wish I waited for the new motor!"
How many 1951 buyers said "I sure wish this car had the old reliable flathead!"
Did the new V-8 have any teething problems? Being all new, I would think think there were some issues.
My suspicion is that the 1951 buyer would have been satisfied:
