Indiana1931Chrysler Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 I'm trying to figure out what model I have. My dad bought in 1980 and never touched it. It does not have original motor is all I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsmoke Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 A "Johnnie Cash" car (check out his song about making a car out of many makes) as near as I can tell, although mostly MOPAR circa 1930/31. Radiator shell appears to be 1931 Chrysler CM6, front fenders likely Dodge and coupe body has Chrysler and other Mopar appearance. Split windshield began in 1932 for Chryslers. Dash I don't recognize but appears correct for body. I'm sure K31 will tell you what every part came off!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Wetherbee Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Looking at the pedal and shifter configuration I highly doubt it has a period engine, so the engine put into the vintage hot-rod could be anything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 (edited) Looks to be a 1932 Chrysler CI6 (one of 2,913 built) with 1955/56 Dodge instruments and a 1958 Ford steering wheel. Possibly 1968 MoPar magnum wheels. Maybe 1940 Willys taillights. Yes, the op says it does not have the original engine in it.

keiser31 Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 (edited) Headlamps are incorrect for the car in question. A serial number on the passenger side door jamb will narrow the year of production down. Edited May 3 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsmoke Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 I think K31 has it pretty much pinned down. fairly rare and desirable car, and should be a good candidate for a return to original factory specs, be a shame to see it hot-rodded, especially to the folks here on AACA.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
