DC8Guy Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 I recently purchased a great 1930 DC8 from a man I have known for years. I am interested in tracking down info such as where are all the numbers on the car for the DBC club signup (serial # ?). I will have some pics up soon. The man I bought it from had to part with the car and I am very glad he allowed me to purchase it. It is my intention to get to know all I can about it so I can properly care for and enjoy it. Look forward to hearing from anyone with info and insights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbbob Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 DC8Guy-- Welcome to the Club and the Forum. I am a 1920's four-cylinder aficionado, so I can't help with your questions about your "modern" vehicle, but I am confident that others in the Club and Forum will be able to address your concerns. The DBC magazine and many Club members will probably be a good resource for you. Please be patient: These cars transport us to an earlier century, when life was slower, the world was less complicated, and (in my opinion) cars were more interesting. These old Dodge Brothers are worth spending the time, trouble, and money necessary to keep them running and original. Best of luck! Congratulations on your "new" car, and best of luck in bringing it back to life. dbbob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_DodgerDave Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Welcome you will find the DBC forum full of info on your DC8. If you can give body style and vin# found on a plate located on the toe board, it may also be found on the frame just below theright front fender in back of the rear shackle mount for the rightfront leaf spring, you may also find it on the right front door hinge pillarpost. (Fedco) start with E001wc through E191HY. (conventional) start 4500001 through 4501083. dodgerdave <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Welcome to the DB club.I have a 32 8 cyl 4 door sedan that's been in the family since 1960. i consider it a Survivor in that the interior is original, intact and decent. i rebuilt the original engine about 10 years ago. Car was repainted once in late 50's. We use it every summer.if i can help answer any questions, give me a shout. mike mccagh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Welcome to DC-8'sI have 2.5 dc-8's myself. The serial # you need is located on the dash on the oval. It is at times very hard to make out. But with this you can get the build record from chrysler. You can contact me via email and I can help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
