Reynard Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Boy, these old mopars keep coming out of the woodwork (barn). Many seem (to me) to be priced beyond what someone would reasonably spend, considering the cost of just getting them running, much less cosmetic or full restoration.

Twisted Shifter Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Probably rougher than it appears in the photos, but the price is going in the right direction. I think it's a well designed car with good proportions. Hope someone sees fit to rescue it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAKerry Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 If it were closer I would be game at $5k. It looks like the top had been cut off or in the process of having it done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a sell Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 The area where you thought the top is being cut off is where the seam from the top sheet metal meets the body. It should be covered by a 3/4" wide aluminum trim strip which is missing. If you look at the photo of the interior just below the rear photo you can see where the side strip ends and the rear strip should start on the left hand side. We had a '28 model 72 golf club coupe for some years and everything on it was similar. '28 was the last year Fisher made bodies for Chrysler. A little more research could tell if this is a Fisher body, or a Hayes body. Our 72 was a Fisher body so similar to a '28 Buick. I had to do quite a git of research on the '28 Chrysler line to get the car in a safe more functional state. The '52s came with either 2 wheel rear mechanical brakes or 4 wheel contracting Lockheed hydraulic brakes. In the engine picture you can just see the reservoir mounted on the firewall so it looks to have hydraulic brakes. That special reservoir is absolutely critical to this style of brakes. In 1929 everything Chrysler made was changed including the brakes. The 52 line became Plymouth, the 62 line became DeSoto, and the 72 stayed the Chrysler marque. Many of the DeSoto bodies, Dodge bodies, and others, were made by Budd which were all steel. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew about the Chrysler 52 morphing into Plymouth but wonder how WPC shuffled the deck to deal a DeSoto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a couple of days I will be listing a Model 52 coupe for a friend. Nice car, price to be determined, but reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
