Leif in Calif Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) A car with very similar mechanical specification (but a Roadster) finished 3rd at Le Mans in 1928! https://bend.craigslist.org/cto/d/redmond-1928-chrysler-model-72-restored/7411504370.html Edited December 22, 2021 by Leif in Calif (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Here is the text of the ad--and the all-important contact information--for later reference: "This model was a step up from their standard base model Chrysler, offering a longer wheelbase, larger 6cyl. motor, larger headlamps, and more luxurious seating room in back similar to formal sedans. It has been correctly restored, and is ready for competitive shows. May or may not be a 95+% point winner in a concourse circuit. The excellent two-tone paint was a Chrysler attention getter. The correct wood spoke wheels are amazing. They are painted too. It has a luxury vinyl top; beautifully engraved Chrysler dash. Small details inside (switches, grab ropes accessories) are preserved. Down to the bias ply tires, nuts/bolts/wood-spoke wheels/alum. caps/6 volt system, this vehicle will entertain. I have a clean Oregon title in hand. It has been stored for 8 years, so it needs a refreshing of the brakes, fuel, miscellaneous, to put on the road again if one desires to drive and experience it more. It should not disappoint with a little care. $16,900 - you would be hard pressed beating this price if you had to go out and restore one of the same quality. Call John to apply to see, 541-923-7386."

58L-Y8 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Huh, I thought this Chrysler looked familiar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif in Calif Posted December 23, 2021 Author Share Posted December 23, 2021 Well, that's quite interesting. Seems like a very nice car for reasonable money, but I guess this shows the lack of interest in 20's sedans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all it needs is a re-commissioning it might be a good deal, but buying a car, especially a sedan, that hasn't run in 8 years is a 50% discount in my book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Let me know when it gets to $27,000 as I'd like to buy it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
