keiser31 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Looks to be a 1929 Model 65. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narve N Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) Second Keiser here, it must be a Series 65.Francisco you have a good looking car in a nice color combination. May I recommend you start looking for some larger bowl-shaped headlights as those on the car sticks out like sore thumbs? The originals are not expensive if you can find them. here are photos of 3 more, one Maroon advertised in Argentina back in 06, a Grey/Green German registration and the one that I have been fiddling with since 1979....

Narve N Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I would reckon that $300 should more than enough to obtain a pair of decent although not concourse headlights of the correct type. They proper ones were made by C.M.Hall of the Depressed Beam design, and in my scrapbook I found the following note: Depressed Beam Headlight Lens w/opening 831/32”, total glass diameter 9 5/8” or 9 39/64” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest fcaffa Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Could someone explain me please the difference between a Chrysler 65 and a 66 (1929). Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) Could someone explain me please the difference between a Chrysler 65 and a 66 (1929). ThanksThere are two major differences that pop into my mind. 1-the 65 was the model for 1929 and had 65 horsepower. 2-the 66 was a 1930 and had 75 horsepower, I believe. There were other differences. Both were the lower end models in the lineup of Chryslers. Edited March 15, 2013 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest danajohnson Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 The 1930 66 has a taller radiator and grill shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narve N Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 There is very little to the evidence of being any difference visually between a Ser65 and a Ser 66, beisdes the obvious "66" text on the headlight bar for the latter. Apparently 66 would have a 3-spoke steering wheel while the 65 was 4-spoke, and a few early 66 did have pennon-style hood louvers and some late cars had the larger engine out of a Ser70. And since headlites have been a theme on this thread, they are same size although different but very few people could tell (I have both varieties). Twin sidemounts was optional on both 65 and 66.

Narve N Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Your engine is the correct type (Series P). With regards to statistics on the car - engine etc, a lot can be obtained through google. However there is incorrect information to be found too... best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fcaffa Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 With engine and serial numbers can be determined the body type and model (65/66)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narve N Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Francisco,the engine number you provided (P) is unique to a Series 65, whilst your serial-number does not say me anything. Several other features do however also indicate that your car is indeed a Series 65, fender-mounted spare wheels was an option for both the Ser 65 and 66. No need to worry what car you have, however does it run? Here is one of my three Series 65s (have been collecting these cars since 1977) which should be identical to your car for most of its features including wheels and front bumper (both 1 of 3 optional).

Guest fcaffa Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Totally agree with the: only really important is it the car runs and does it well.I bought it recently and I have no experience in Chryslers. I think we should make some changes to bring it in conditions similar to those of manufactures.From what I've seen I think you should at least change the color of the fenders and trim. From what I've seen pictures of other 65 gives me the impression that the headlights are not the original model.Did you see the car pictures? What do you think?From already thank you very much for your help! ... and so sorry for my English!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tip Top Engineering Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 sorry to revive such an old thread. Also, was the 66 model a shackpin chassis, whereas the 65 was rubber blocks? I am seeking a 66 car. Rolling chassis would be perfect, bodywork not essential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
