nearchoclatetown Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I know of three '27 coupes in the DBC, my close neighbor haveing one of those. I can send pictures of his for detail if you need. I'm not sure I would call it rare, but it would be a very desireable car, especially being the third owner. What condition is yours in? The window regulator will probably have to be taken apart, sounds like a bad gear. You may be able to answer some questionss about the others. Does it have some extra holes in the rear apron below the gas tank, about 3/8 inches in diameter? The others have them, no one knows why. Do you have the tool kit? Can you post pictures? '27's are unique, especially the engine. If you look in the '06 Hershey pics on AACA you will see the grey '27 from Texas. My neighbor's blue '27 is in this year's pics.

nearchoclatetown Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 OK, if you go to the top of this page to "community" you will find the photo gallery. Go to "Hershey '07", not the flea market. You can see two pics of my neighbor's '27 peacock blue and black coupe on page 20 and 25. My dark blue and black '24 is one page 25. I can get you any detail pics you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest elmo39 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Your window problem sounds more like a broken or weak regulator spring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
