You need to tell us what diameter hubcap you need. There were 10" and 11" caps.

Definitely NOT a Roadmaster. It is a Super.

Sorry but If you are in need of other stuff let me know
There is a member on here called CarbKing - look him up. Maybe he can help you

As newlyweds we always did everything together and that included getting involved in the old car hobby.
(Way) back then, because we were just starting out, there was a tendency to "ask permission" to buy a car.
I think that was done only to keep the peace - otherwise you'd sleep on the couch.
Now, many, many years later sleeping on the couch doesn't seem so bad. As a matter of fact it is quite comfortable. The mutual interest in the hobby has waned and now I am into it myself. My kids aren't even interested in the car hobby - only "how much are they worth?"
My point is if I want to go buy a car, as long as I can afford it and have a place to keep it (not hide it !!!), then I will go and buy it.
The one thing I MIGHT do beforehand is ask her opinion about the car - condition, etc - because we all know that us old car guys see
things through rose colored glasses when looking at cars.
As a matter of fact, the last 4 cars I bought she did not know of or see them until I got them home. Guess what. She thought they were all cool cars, too.
The only question I was asked is "Where are you going to put them?" I told her not to worry about it and that was that.

Sounds like master cylinder is at fault. The fluid needs to "flow" back into the master cylinder in order to release the wheel cylinders.
Also, check the rubber flex lines going to the wheel cylinders. See if they are new,too.

I bought a trunk floor pan from them for my 1950 Packard Woody but I have not yet opened the box to check it out.

Throw out bearing?

1st thing - what size tires are on the present rims?
2nd thing - I need you to measure the center hole of the rim(s). The larger rims will measure around 4".
The smaller rims - which I have - will measure approx 2 3/4". If your hubs are the 4" then my rims will not work on your car.
I do have 5 rims - all with tires on them which will need to be removed.
If the rims I have will work I can get one boxed and let you know the shipping costs.
I am still looking for the other parts, too.

Can you measure the rims without the tires on them - across the rim edge to edge.
Some of the rims were 5 1/2 and there were wider ones for the larger tires on the later cars. I believe they were 6 1/2.
I have rims from the Royal parts car. They came with the 10" hubcaps.
Let me know.

I will take a look and see if I have that piece.
Give me a few days.
Thanks, Joe

If you still have parts from your royal I am now in need of the inner heater flap that connects to one of the levers under the dash. Obviously not the cowl lever. My metal is ok but the rubber seal is shot. Is this part good in yours and how's much with shipping to 33009? It comes out with 4 screws and 1 cotter pin. Please let me know. Thanx much.
Hi Steelbreeze,
Do you have a picture of what you are looking for?
Thanks, Joe

As Keiser31 suggested check the ground.
Also, some of the old floats in the tanks were made of cork and because they are so old
the seal coating on them will break down and allow the cork float to absorb some gas.
This will result in the float not "floating" but sinking.
Even if the float is not cork I have seen where the seam on the float will develop a leak and the
result is the same - the float will fill with gas and not "float".
As far as where the sending unit is I will venture to guess, as I am not sure, that
there may be an access panel in the trunk floor. I know older Mopars had them there.
If there is such an access remove the screws and the panel and you should see the
sending unit on the top of the tank.

I have been able to buy many old cars by leaving a note on the windshield with my name and #.
I left a note on a car 5 years ago and was recently contacted - they wanted to sell it.
Maybe they won't sell it now but maybe later they change their mind

Where can I get one of those?
You can probably get that pink purse in just about any store.........
I'm sure that's what you were asking about, right?

Any good grill parts? I need right and left top whiskers and the middle and lower center horizontal bars. Possibly the 2 harmonica sections but mine aren't terrible. Thanx
Sorry but the grill parts on the car were in really bad shape.
If you need anything else I still have a lot of parts.
Thanks for asking.

Well, I took out the radiator bracket, took off the lower pulley, put a 1 7/8" socket on the big nut, and with very little effort, I turned the engine over two times! Praise the Lord! I am hoping now that I don't have to rebuild the engine.
Joe, we have a cottage in an old Methodist camp meeting west of Wilkes-Barre. Come spring, I might like to take a trip to Stroudsburg and meet you, and see your town and country!
Chip
Chip,
You are welcome to pay me a visit.
Just give me a heads up or send me (in a PM) your # and we can discuss it when the time comes.

I got the license plate light today from Auburnseeker. I want to thank him for selling it to me as that was the last missing part I needed to complete the car.
I have not been able to do anything to the car lately - work is getting in the way.
But maybe soon I will be able to get to it.

I am going through the same issue with a stuck motor on my 47 T & C sedan.
If you remove the radiator bracket (I can't think of what else to call it (brain fa_t) - it's what the radiator is bolted to then you can get the socket and a breaker bar on the crank pulley nut.
also, you should get a shop manual for the car. They are readily available.
It would be best to post those pictures of what you need.
I have the dash knobs. They should be for going from memory:
Panel lights
Headlights
Heater
Defroster
Temp
BTW I like your car. It looks really solid.
I am in Stroudsburg, Pa.
Too bad I wasn't closer to you to help out in person.

Thanks, Rusty and Joe. Your information is helpful. I was trying yesterday to removed the blower assembly on the drivers side. I was hoping to find on the internet a YouTube to help, but could not find much. Do you have any hints what I have to do to get the assemblies out? Do I have to take the kick panels out? I have all the screws and bolts out that are obvious, but I think there is a hard-to-reach bolt on the top, way up under the dash. Do I take the radio out first to make things easier? Thank you in advance for further help, and I hope I am not a pain!
By the way, Joe, I am missing the end part of the passenger side window crank. Might you have one?
God bless, Chip
Are you talking about the "flipper" end of the window crank handle?
Not so sure I want to get rid of any because they are extremely difficult to come by. The handles do come up on Ebay once in a while.
But if you are in a pinch I may consider it.
Let me know if you need anything else
-
One other thing, I have a bunch of parts from a few parts cars so let me know what you need. Maybe I (or someone else) can help you out.

I have just acquired a 1948 Chrysler New Yorker Club Coupe a couple of days before Thanksgiving. I am currently trying to resurrect it (not restore it, because if is in good original condition). It was stored inside, but has not been registered, inspected or even started for over 44 years! -- since 1972! I have removed the radiator for cleaning and repair, also all the hoses. But I can't seem to figure out how to get to the heater core. I don't even know where it is on the car! There are duel blowers with vents built into the side panels in front of the doors. Also, there is a control in the engine compartment (flow, I think) operated by a wire to a knob inside. But it is made of pot metal and totally shot, even falling apart! Is there anything I can use in its place?
I am currently waiting for a good rust buster to loosen up things before I try to even turn the engine over a bit by hand. I filled the cylinders with a half and half mixture of automatic transmission fluid and acetone. I am hoping the engine is not even stuck in the first place!
Where can I get parts for this beautiful old car? I want to keep it as original as possible, but make it a good, dependable driver.
By the way, the previous owner's name is Daisy, who is now in her 80's. I told her I would name the car after her. My wife said to name it "Miss Daisy" and then I could be "Driving Miss Daisy"! But seeing "Miss Daisy" (the car) is dead, I will be "Resurrecting Miss Daisy" first -- with a little help from my friends! By the way, I am a Baptist minister, but I haven't resurrected anyone lately! I just know someOne who can!!!
The "heater cores" are enclosed in the blower assemblies. You would have to remove the heaters and separate the housing to get at the heater core.

Looks like you bought a really nice solid car. Congratulations and keep us posted on your progress!
I will keep up on my progress - as slow as it may be.
Thanks to all for the compliments about the car. It is needy but not that bad.
Hopefully I can get it up and running in the spring. I did drain the old gas out of the tank.

I do not have the cowl mirrors or the stainless piece.
Sorry.
