Guest oilpan Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Anyone out there know how I can tell if the 1930 Chrysler Model 70 4 door sedan I have is a Phaeton or a Royal Sedan and where can I find a shop manual for this car? Any help would be appreciated. I've included some photos. A diamond in the rough for sure.Thanks,Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Yours is the sedan. A phaeton is an open top four door car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oilpan Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Thank you. Now you no why I need help. The engine looks to be a flathead six? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 (edited) Thank you. Now you no why I need help. The engine looks to be a flathead six?It should be a flathead six. You will not find a shop manual because there was not one available for the 1930 Chrysler. An "Instruction Book" can be found on ebay once in a while and that will be about it for mechanical information. There are a lot of knowledgeable folks below on the "Chrysler" forum. Email me for more information. Johnkeiser31@charter.net Edited August 30, 2011 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleach Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 You could look out for a Motor's Auto Repair Manual. It's a fairly decent book that covers many makes and models. Depending on the release date, you may find one that covers your year model. I found a few at some garage sales for really cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pre1939chrysler Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Any interest in selling it??610-863-6955 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oilpan Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Not interested in selling right now. I'm just interested in finding out some information on it. Will a 1931 Chrysler shop manual work for a 1930 if the vin number is past P116. I was told that there was a transitional period and if the vin was past that number a 1931 manual would work?

I believe that the basic engine information should be about the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
