This 1924 Chrysler is number
8966 of Chrysler's first production run. It was the world’s finest, mass
produced car when it was introduced. It came with 4 wheel hydraulic brakes, a
first in the industry. The 6-cylinder engine was 'pressure' lubricated, also a
first in the industry. That allowed for the higher speeds that the vehicle
could attain!
The engine was thoroughly
rebuilt. It was dis-mantled and 'boiled' out. The 7 main bearings and 6 rod
bearings were all re-poured and machined by an expert in working on old
engines. The crankshaft has been reground and the bearing machined to match.
The 7 mains were line bored to within .002 of an inch. The engine has less than
300 miles on it. The radiator is also new. The old radiator was designed in
such a manner that it could not be 'rodded' out.
It has wood spoke wheels and
aluminum step plates on the running boards. The upholstery is in very good
condition. As seen in the pictures, there are side curtains for the rear
passengers, and a custom car cover. I have the original license plate, the
original purchase order, the original registration application, the original owner’s
manual, and the original lubrication chart.
Owner used the car mainly for
parades and car shows. He has magnetic signs for the side of the car that
states "1924 CHRYSLER TOURING SEDAN", so when it's in a parade,
people can tell what they are seeing! The Chrysler sold originally for $1535.00
in 1924!
