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.
Chet
Quote from: Old Man on January 28, 2013, 08:05:28 AMThanks again, I am sure it was N.E
'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.
Quote from: Old Man on January 27, 2013, 04:12:50 PMThanks, 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?
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.
Quote from: Old Man on January 27, 2013, 12:02:30 PMThanks, cannot read the key, wont let me enlarge, is it Basco? The 29 I mean
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?
Quote from: Jim Benjaminson on December 06, 2012, 10:45:13 PMThank-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.
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
Quote from: Old Man on October 15, 2012, 10:23:41 AMDodge used stainless is some of its trim such as cowl bands, trunk ornaments ect. at least as early as 29 cars
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.
