leomara Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 Hey guys, I'm inundated with responses, please stop....just kidding, have not gotten anything, zip, nothing, but Hershey is coming and I'll be the guy walking around between the sandwich boards harking my quest.

Guest art s Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Hello Leo, You must realize there were only maybe 5000 of them made. With so much wood many were rotten and ended up in the great scrap drive of WW2 Not many left, and the fellows who have them aren't ready to let them go just yet. Good luck on your quest. How about a model 72 coupe and parts sedan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leomara Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 Hey Art, thanks for the candor, all you say is true, however, of the ones that are left "as time goes by" they do become available. Thanks for your offer about the coupe. I have a 1930 Model A Ford coupe and now I want to tackle one of these roadsters. If I keep this thread active maybe something will turn up. Pray for good weather at Hershey. Stay well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restorer32 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Your timing is just a bit off. We sold a solid older non show restoration 1929 75 Roadster about 8 weeks ago, just before you started looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Scafani Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I just brought home a 1930 model 77 convertible. I have only found two others, one in NZ, the other here in the states. I have a four door sedan donor car. Dual side mounts, trunk rack, trunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Did you get that coupe to the right of the Chrysler? Next time you find a car in my area, come and get me. I want to go and help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leomara Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 Well, Hershey came and went and I feel kind of like Linus at Halloween waiting in the pumpkin patch for the Great Pumpkin to bring him something. I'm waiting for a 1929 Chrysler Model 75 to present itself and like Linus I'm disappointed............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pre1939chrysler Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Leo, I don't have a model 75 Roadster . You called me and I gave you 3 names to call. I do, however have a model CJ Roadster in the condition you are looking for. Complete but needs a total restoration. I ALSO CAN SUPPLY Missing parts. if any. No its not a75 bit this roadster rumble seater is even more rare and worth considering. You are the only one I have offered it to but Know Chris will be interested when I offer it to him, Call me 610-863-6955 0r cell 610-462-3631 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leomara Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 pre1939chrysler, thank you for your generous offer. I'm certain that your CJ Roadster is every bit the car you say it is and I'm not prepared to discuss which car either the 1929 model 75 or CJ is the most worthy to have, however, I will say that I'm not looking for a CJ at this time. If you come across a model 75 in the future please contact me again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leomara Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 I had an experience recently. Someone contacted me from Missouri and said they were looking at a 1929 Chrysler Model 75 roadster which was for sale and they wanted me to advise them on it's value. I took the phone number and did some research, then called the person back. No answer, no response. Why would anyone waste someone's time like that? Very strange.

nickelroadster Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 They may have wanted you to jump at the car they were "looking" at. They may have wanted you to quickly send money to hold it or something. Sounds fishy but never be surprised at anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hokrod Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 You can look further afield I live in Australia. Melbourne, Victoria There are a number of chrysler 75 roadsters about here not all for sale ,but they do come up every now and then. I can give u a list of some of the owners here if you like.

leomara Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 Hokrod, thank you for your offer, however I'm going to try and stay in the USA if possible. It's expensive to ship a car from overseas and I know very little about the differences between export and domestic models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30's Mopar Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 There is a guy in Kansas City that may still have one. I thin it had the small door for the rumble seat. Let me try and locate my old business cards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leomara Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 Well here we are over 1 year later and I'm still looking for 1929 model 75 roadster. Have any come out into the light of day lately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leomara Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 Well another year has gone by and I'm still looking for one of these nice automobiles. I know there is one in Hemmings this month, gorgeous car, I knew the owner, we spoke at Hershey several times, however that car is beyond my budget. What is in my budget would be a solid #3 car, unrestored or an older restoration. Please respond if you know of any.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bifda Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Would a Chrysler 77 roadster be of interest? A friend here in the UK has his for sale. His asking price is £50,000 (approx $67,000). If interested I can get pics and more info. Regards Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

513Classics Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I've just bought a 1929 Chrysler. Is this what you're looking for? I'll be picking it up this week. If you're interested give me a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
