Yes I still have the 1936 Chrysler of the avatar picture. It is a 3 position Drophead Coupe body, finished in aluminum. The body was made & designed by the " Carlton Carriage Ltd " in Great Britain. I´m just finishing it, after a five years nut and bolt restoration. The attached picture is from a week ago. The avatar picture was taken just before starting the restoration. We are still working in the soft top, and also needs fitted the rear luggage grill in the back, and other small details. Before the end of the year, I hope to drive it again. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 That's a beauty alright! Does 3 position refer to the number of seats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlton Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 3 position is the soft top style, because it can be: Fully close Half open, ( only the roof on top of the front seats rolls and is open, while the back is close ) Fully open, with all the roof open.

JohnD1956 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I hadn't thought of that possibility. Gotta tuck that one away for the future. Thanks for the information! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
