dealeship / 1st owner search

[cacti]

I have a 1938 Chrysler Royal coupe built in Detroit on 12-1-1937 and shipped to Rawlins, WY. The dealer name was illegible on the build record.

Anyone have a idea of the dealership it was shipped to or how I could find out

AND more important, I would like to find 1st owner and start to track my cars history.

any thoughts? It's now a sweet, all mopar street rod, attracts alot of attention. I am not saying it's rare but it is somewhat

unusual. I have only run across one person who has seen one before. I get alot questions.

Look in a City Directory for Rawlins , Wyoming for 1937. A handy and often overlooked reference source. Should be one at the Rawlins Public Library. Should list the Businesses in town. Difficult but doable.

As for the first owner, well, your mission, if you chose to accept it, will be extremely difficult if not impossible.

Are you planning on returning this car to original condition?

You can go to the Chrysler Museum site and buy a build card that will give you the original destination and much more information.
