The 55er Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 This just looks like a tired old car that needs a lot of cosmetic and interior work to look presentable with all its dents, dings, pitted chrome and the interior needing replacement. As a buyer I feel like I'm underwater $$$ already just reading the ad. The heater duct under the hood that attaches to the firewall isn't original either. IMO the car would look better without the outside sunvisor. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillOutThere Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 1952 Chryslers, including this car are "Korean War chrome" cars and when they have not been replated somewhere in their history, this is a truly major problem because the few NOS spares were used up long ago. Quite obvious in the pictures that many pieces of chrom have been painted over with perhaps Rust0Leum silver. Of particular note, the front and rear fender side trim on these cars are NOT stainless steel. These are pot metal castings. Add the painted grille, headlight doors, taillamp doors, grille, bumper guards and other incidentals and at today's chrome prices you could be quickly looking at $10,000 just for plating those mentioned. And the car needs a LOT more than that to make it a nice presentable hobby car. Hard pass on this one for me. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
