auburnseeker Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 My 36 C7. About 6 years ago just before I sold it and one taken a couple years earlier when I just finished wood graining the dash. Drove very nice. I also rebuilt the engine, brakes, put new tires on it, blasted and repainted the wheels, wet sanded out the paint, removed and cleaned the interior and put a new stainless steel exhaust on it among a bunch of other things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the pattern is wrong, but I wanted a tiger-ed mahogany finish. It was a pain to do as it has such a curl to that top rail to wrap around when you roll it with the inked up roller and blend all together. The rest of the moldings were very easy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Chryslers are such good pre war mid size cars........often overlooked. They are a great value, and the guys who have them absolutely love them. They have great road manners and keep up well in modern traffic. Joe’s car makes me want to run out and buy one. AJ has been driving one lately and I think he has more miles on it than he ever got on his “car with a star”. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Though similar I had a 36 Plymouth coupe years ago, that found it's way back to my area about the time I had my 36 Chrysler and I got to go for a ride in it. My 36 Chrysler just seemed like a much nicer car all the way around than that Plymouth. You could see why they cost more when new but seemed like you got alot of value for the cost.

35cz8 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Joe, That is a really beautiful car. I would love to find some really nice hub caps for the 1935 with the number 8 in the center. They are rather hard to find. I have seen a lot of caps with just the Chrysler script but not many with the 8. I think they might have been for the DeLuxe model CZ8 but not sure. I have the parts book so will have to see if the part number is different than the CZ8. Let me know if you find a batch of NOS ones at a good price LOL. I really am enjoying this new sub for the Airstream, I feel welcome here and we can all share our experiences about our Airstreams. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperJonas Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Everyone, Here are some pictures of the '35 CZ I took last weekend; the first two are when I took it to Starbucks in town, it generated a lot of interest, even as I could tell no one knew what it was...(to be fair, it only has two very small "Chrysler" badges on the front & rear). This was the first real trip we took in the car to date. There is a long and fairly steep hill going back up to my house and I was quite impressed, the 8 took it in 3rd gear all the way!

SuperJonas Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Here is a picture taken that evening; thought it would be neat to experience some night-time driving...pretty cool even if it was tantamount to holding 2 candles up in front of the car....I can see why so many converted these to sealed beam lights later on and even 12v. Someday, I will investigate in making the lamps a bit brighter, cleaning grounds, redoing the reflectors et cetera, but will always retain the original look and 6v system. Apologize for me in the picture, the focus is the car, not myself!! Greg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperJonas Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 And lastly for now, I saw some comments regarding the CZ hubcaps earlier in the thread; I removed mine when as I went through some brake and rear axle maintenance several weeks back. Took the opportunity to clean and polish them. Turned out they shine really nicely. The black paint on the "8" appears to be factory, all 4 have them and make each look really unique.

keiser31 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 My buddy Russ Parker used to own this one and a 1936 Chrysler convertible sedan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 I have seen the images of Russ' gold convertible on the Internet. Stunning car. Rats... I just realized that my shift knob is not correct after looking at Russ' car. One more thing to add to the list. Ugh. LOL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLynskey Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 A matching pair of 36's seen at a show in Iowa 26 years ago. Look closely at the coupe and you'll see a very interesting antenna on the roof. It is almost the entire length of the roof with two circles and several horizontal bars.
