1940 Chrysler Windsor
Matthias
Roehl, Roedinghausen,
Germany
I purchased this
1940 Chrysler C25 Windsor at Hershey show in 2003 from a private person
who sold the car on behalf of an old lady from Rahway, PA. She was
first owner, the mileage was 35.000 miles on the
clock. The body and mechanics on the car was in very,
very good shape, although the interior was rotten and the mice had
build nests inside. I disassembled the major parts
like doors, fenders, hood and trunk door for restoration. All new old
style safety glass was done. The body got a new paint, but very near to
original tone in silk gray. RAL tone 7044 matches
perfectly. No frame off restoration was necessary,
all is extremely straight and no rust was on this car. Only some dents
and very much faded and chalked paint. Right now I am assembling
the interior. That has been renewed in dark blue and I hope to finish
the car for the "big" Germany Chrysler meeting in Datteln, Germany in
August 2006. |
1962 Chrysler Newport
Convertible
David Wainright, UK
Red/red interior, fully optioned.
It
has always been a dream of mine growing up in Australia since I was
about 8 years old to own something from 1957 - 1963, American and
without a roof. After to moving to NY in 2001 I tracked this down. One
owner, bought new, a demo run out in Jan. 1963 from Denver Chrysler,
although I had to go to Aspen as that is where the son had moved. I
took 2 weeks off work and me and wife drove it home to NYC. When I
moved to the UK last year, it of course came too. It's awesome, I tell
you, what could be better than owning a great slice of Chrysler
history?

1972 Dodge Monaco Brougham
Matthias Roehl, Roedinghausen,
Germany
I
purchased this 1972 Dodge Monaco Brougham at Hershey show in 2001 from
a dealer who was not specialized in old cars. He sold the car on behalf
of an old lady from Elverston, PA. She was first owner, the mileage was
52.000 miles on the clock. Everything on the car is in original and
very good shape. I exported the car to Germany. When it arrived in
Bremerhaven port, I could start the engine right away and drove it 200
miles home. The car is in excellent shape, nothing major needed to be
repaired or rebuild until today. I enjoy visiting car shows and
enthusiasts meetings throughout Germany very much, the car is a really
eye catcher due to its perfect and original condition.

1933
Dodge DP Deluxe Sedan
John
Krein
Apalachin,
NY
The
"deluxe" designation signifies the dual external horns, the dual
sidemount spare wheels, the second windshield wiper, and the second
tail light. The trunk (and trunk rack) were also optional. Mine also
has a 1933 Philco radio (car came wired for it) and a Trico
vacuum-operated defroster fan. The fan and the radio head mount on the
steering column, while the main radio box was connected to the head via
control cables, and mounted under the dash on the firewall. This
car configuration and these options are the same as the car my father
owned when I was a small child, except his car had wooden wheels.
It
is now
about 99.9% restored, and driven about 1000 miles a year, with 51,600
miles on the odometer. It cruises comfortably at 55 mph. A great joy to
own and drive! |

1957 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer 2 door
Hardtop
Tony Boatman,
Boise, Idaho
Meet Bertha, my 1957 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer two-door hardtop.
She was born in Detroit, sold new in San Francisco in January of 1957,
spent most of her life in rust-free Northern California, and now
resides in Boise, Idaho.
She was special ordered with plenty of options, including power
steering, brakes, windows and seat; pushbutton radio; rear window
defogger; and torqueflite pushbutton transmission. She is powered
by a 325 ci V-8 Hemi engine, still has plenty of oomph for a lady
her age, and has a little over 101,000 miles on her odometer. |

sedan
Eldon
Frisk

series was built after Nov.1 1932 and introduced Jan 1, 1932 according
to the literature I have. My car is basically unrestored and can be
driven.

1949
Dodge Wayfarer Roadster
Ross and Annie Horton, Whidbey Island, WA
The 1949 Dodge roadster I obtained
from a Lady In Oregon who was the 2nd and 4th owner. It ran well
enough to drive home (about 300 mi.) I spent the Winter of 1997
refreshing it and It has been a consisted prize winner. The 1949 Dodge Wayfarer roadster was a true roadster as it
has no side windows. It uses side curtains.
The roadster was part of the Wayfarer line and was built on 115"
wheelbase. The Meadowbrook and Coronet lines were on 123 1/2"
W.B. You could also order this body with roll up windows for $35
more. The car listed at $1727 which was about $100 less than Ford
or Chevy. rag tops.

The 1949 Suburban is Annie's grocery
getter. I located this one in Indiana May of 2004. Took it
for a test drive and again drove it home. 2400 mi. this time and
no problems. This car has had a paint job, rechromed bumpers and
the front seat cushions re done the rest is as I bought it plus a
little soap and water.
The
1949 Plymouth Suburban was the first all steel station wagon from
Chrysler Corp. It was part of the Deluxe line which was
built on a 111" wheelbase. The Special Deluxe line was on a
118 1/2" W.B. The Suburban listed for $1840.
