i was told this is a 1931 chrysler imperial. i have searched the web for pics of these and cant find any with a split window. is this a 1931???? is it a chrysler???? any info would be nice and thanks for the help.

 

try posting this question on the main board.. you'll get alot more responses there.. this board is mainly for questions and suggestions regarding the content and usage of the HAMB.. hope it helps.. and whatever it is it's got potential

 

Not sure but it may be a 32 Chrysler. Should have dual cowl vents too. Not sure if it would be an Imperial or just plain Chrysler.

If it is a 32 Chrysler they had cool gauges, grill and numerous other parts.

If the ID tag is still on the right front door hinge post, it will contain the information to answer your questions. However 1931 through 1933 Chryslers do have a split windshield.

 

Best I can do. This is a 32 chrysler imperial cl eight convertible sedan. With a split windshield...John

 

thanks for the help i think its a limo from the pics i found

 

looks alot like mine:

 

Like I said, the serial number would have the answer, post it and I can run it by my book and tell you exactly what it is -

 

here is a 1931 and here is a link... http://www.imperialclub.com/Yr/1931/JerryCapak/index.htm

 

the firewalls look about the same. but id trade you lol

 

will do but its not at my house yet. ill get it to you on monday im going out of town tomorrow

 

It doesn't appear to be a limo, just a 4 door...it looks nearly identical to my '31 Plymouth, except for the windshield area...

 

here is a pic of a 1931 chrysler limo

 

ill get more info when i get home and ill get more pics

 

i looked on the fire wall and didnt see any numbers or anything.

they have them in the jambs??? the doors are screwd together right now just to hold everything in place but if this is true could someone tell me what door it would be on and where to look.

 

P*** FRONT, not on the door, it is on the front door hinge post about 1/3 the way up from the sill. If it's there, you can't miss it, it should be maybe 4" tall by 1.5" wide shiny aluminum.

 

ok ill look tomorrow when i get time.
is this going to be the vin tag??
thanks

 

Yes it is the real VIN. It will say in big letters : SERIAL NUMBER

The missing one that should be on the firewall is only the body sequence number, not the actual VIN.

 

ok well i see the plate but i cant open the doors cuz the rockers are gone so i need to brace the body up so i can get the doors off ill be doing this tomorrow i hope but i think its a limo the very back side windows also roll down

 

\
As far as I know, all mopars of those years had quarter windows that roll down.

 

ok i got the serial number:6558289

hope you can tell me something cool about this car or find out the past owners or maybe even try to get a ***le for it but thanks alot for all your help

 

I know an internet guy who is up on some mopars of that age. He has 31 dodges and knows lots about chryslers also. It may take a while for me to get an answer.

Some early mopars can be deciphered by just the serial number by some other people he knows, but some models can't. The ones that can be traced, they can tell where it was sold new. Don't get excited, because the records for some body styles have been lost.

 

According to these "FEDCO NUMBERING SYSTEM" records:

ok thanks alot for the help write me a email or just post the info on here when you get time to get it from your friend.

 

My book also says 1932 Chrysler CI series, Six, 13,772 4-door sedans produced. Wheelbase 116 inches. Should have oval-shaped instrument board (or hole for it), and dual cowl vents.
