Guest earthworm Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Didn't Chrysler innovate with 4 wheel hydraulic brakes back in '24 ? The PO, back in '28 could have retrofitted simpler , more relieable brakes..Possibily the Chrysler and Plymouth engines are identical...and any engine serial number be discovered ?

Guest De Soto Frank Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 6 cylinder Chryslers had 4-wheel hydraulic brakes.The four-cylinder Chrysler "52" was essentially a warmed-over Maxwell, and most retained 2-wheel mechanical brakes.

DLynskey Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 The 1928 Model 52 had bullet shaped headlights. The drum headlights indicate 1927 or earlier. I believe that would be a Model 50.I bought a 1928 "52" from the original owner who stated that he bought that model specifically because it didn't have 4-wheel brakes. He (and many others) didn't trust brakes on the front wheels. Thought they would make you lose control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
