Leif in Calif Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 This was offered for sale late last year and no takers. These Chrysler products have a lot to recommend them, but they just don't have the interest or support to command "model A money". https://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/d/colfax-1929-desoto/7519804078.html Total older super low mile restoration, runs and drives excellent, very nice paint not perfect, zero rust. Lowballers don’t bother. If it’s still listed it’s still for sale. email: b0707594fa6c377d8c52aa837347423b@sale.craigslist.org 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 6 cylinder version of mine and in nicer condition. Unfortunately with things the way they are I'm thinking his price might be a stretch. Too bad as they are nice driving cars for that time period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63RedBrier Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I'm sure the color will hurt a potential sale... Is the current color even close to original? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryLime Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 The sagging door handles is more annoying than the color . At least it isn't black ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Perkins / Mn Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I like this car. Sagging door handles are an easy fix. I would bet that the paint color would be a lot darker in person. I had a Model A painted Ford maroon and when I took pictures of it especially with a flash it sure had a cherry purple look to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F&J Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 It's not even a 1929, which would be a model K. it is a 1930 CK. 29 had the thin radiator shell when viewed from the side. 30 went to this wider shell, then back to thin in 1931. 29 had cowl lights, mounted on the cowl chrome band, 30 went to fender lights instead. 29 did not have the 90 degree angle brackets at the bottom front of cowl, as seen with hood opened. 29 taillight was mounted on the fender, 30 has that upright stalk bracket mounted down low. It must have the wrong radiator hiding behind the expanded mesh metal and the layer of house screen behind that mesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I'm not disagreeing with you and I'm no expert. My 30 has the wide radiator shell, tail light (now two) mounted on the fender, and cowl lamps. It also has the angle brackets at the bottom of the cowl but I don't think they extend that far away from the cowl. Mine is a CF8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
