What's described in the books ?
Do they seem like generic driving instructions that would apply to any car or are they more specific ?
Is there a table of contents ?
I suppose you looked for a copyright date.

My 2 cents, very interesting stuff though.

Here you go Chet, good luck, may not be in the correct order.

Strange, arent they, what is that other forum, P 124 or sumpthin or other, its been a long time since I visited that site. Maybe someone there would know.

No no year, zilch, if I knew the later cars better I could prob. take a pretty good guess at year and model by the text.

EDIT: OK P 15 forum, forget it though, I cant remember my password, tried requesting it and it will not let me get past the security deal where I type in what its showing me only to still be denied.

'28,'29 and 30U had the ignition lock/switch built into the bottom of the coil. '31 PA had the 1st Chrysler company style coil mounted on and through the firewall with an armored cable going from the dash switch to the rear of the coil. Sorry I don't know my manufacturers.   

Thanks again, I am sure it was N.E

The '29 has a capital 'D' inside a diamond on one side and H700 on the other. The '33 says U122. The 'U' being kind of a Chrysler give away. The '35 Dodge I think is a replacement for a lost key at some time. But you would think the locksmith would replace it with the same 'kind'/'shape' etc? So I assume it is a good copy of the original. I remember all the GMs I've ever had or driven from 1958 on (My Dad's '58 Olds Super 88) had the 'hexagonal' shape to the 'handle' you mention. I remember it being a kind of GM trait.  

Thanks, just to verify, Plymouth did use the N.E coil behind ignition lock assy unit 28/29 maybe 30 correct. I think it was sometime in 30 that they went with the Delco?

I have asked this on the AACA forum and no-one recognizes what year and any details of these small booklets, un-dated. Some of them are Dodge and some Plymouth I have picked up over the years.

I am assuming maybe they were part of the original paperwork that came with the car. None of them have even a hint of a picture, only text. I am guessing 1937 or so but maybe one of you guys could pin-point it better for me

This is an original '29U ignition key. I found 2 other keys from the 30s. One is an original '33 Plymouth door key and the other is an 'original' '35 Dodge truck ignition key. Not sure about the Dodge key's heritage. And I seem to remember my'31 PA had these same size and shape keys. It would appear early Chrysler Corp. keys were round originally?

Thanks, cannot read the key, wont let me enlarge, is it Basco? The 29 I mean

Hey guys, I am hoping that someone here can tell me what was the shape of the ORIGINAL key heads that would have operated your early Plymouth's.

For instance did the ignition originally use a hex shaped key head, maybe the door locks used round and so what did your spare tire locks use or maybe spare tire locks were not issued with your Plymouth's if your cars had side-mounts.

By early Plymouth I am interested mainly 28-30 or so although I would love to hear what any year used right on up until the mid thirties. Thanks

Jason - Plymouths first trucks didn't come until 1937 and lasted through 1941.  There were some sedan deliveries (1935-1941) and an oddball 30 that could be used as a sedan delivery or regular passenger car although it had a door at the rear of the body.  I have all the serial numbers.  If you have a specific question, email me at benji@utma.com

Thank-you Jim, I found an early sales sheet, ( may have been dated 1930 ) and I assumed there were others within the same time frame. 37 is  bit later than what I am focusing on.

That is a very nice paint sample.

I dont think that was a waste of time at all

Not to get off topic but I have some conf. bulletins relating to the thrift if anyone is curious

Ford Model As did not use the same headlights as our 28 and 29 or 30U Plymouths. Fords were stainless steel and I believe Ford was the only car in that era to use stainless in it's headlights,rad shell and cowl band. Ours are chrome plated steel buckets made by Depress Beam. They are bigger and fatter than Fords. Desoto shared the Plymouth Depress Beam headlights in those early years.     

Dodge used stainless is some of its trim such as cowl bands, trunk ornaments ect. at least as early as 29 cars
