Today my '48 P15 attained a milepost of sorts.....the first foray away from the shop to the other toy box. Thanks to many hours reading archives of your past posts and the helpful hints offered when I asked, the ol' girl smoothly and effortlessly made the 25-mile round trip on a four-lane highway to the hangar and back. She cruises nicely at 55mph and tracks straight down the highway. The only wiggles are due to returning the waves and thumbs-up from other motorists. There is still work to do (house training for one thing...) but after four months of bumper-to-bumper attention the P15 has awakened from its five-year nap and is now a real road car.

Welcome to the group. Roberts Motor Parts is a good source. They helped me quite a bit with the things I needed. Jeff

Welcome! On the drivers side ( your passenger) of the head, above the generator should be a flat spot with a number stamped into it. You can look it up here: http://www.t137.com/registry/help/otherengines/otherengines.php Parts sources: https://www.vicsdodgegarage.com/index.html https://dcmclassics.com/ Where in in England? I've got a friend near Chichester.

Hopefully some pictures

It was a joy to drive, even at such low speeds. The kids couldn't wait to pile in the cab and go along ?

Got it running and pulled it outside ?

you got that wrong..... Old sailor never die, they smell that way naturally.! glad I was never a sailor...

PS - once I get the body off the engine with all accesories, fluid drive, and frame will be posted for sale. Keep watching and hopefully in a few weeks will be available. Engine is locked up BTW so will need work to get it running...but the engine was running when it was new!

Oh Boy Tim .... Please forgive me for posting this ...... but the 1946-48 Chrysler cars do use a stop light body to trunk lid mounting gasket as shown ... You are failing the Chrysler stop light housing knowledge test !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We will start all over next fall?

Got the lighter and ash tray installed this evening and wired them up. Also wired up the heater switch. what are you guys running your wording for your lighter and lighter light to? I ran both mine to a pole on the ignition switch so when I turn on my ignition my lighter light turns on. Thinking about maybe switching it to the panel light switch.

Location: Very South of Germany A quick prestory to the pictures ... Today I went to the Lake to go for a walk with the dog and taking some pictures of my 1939 PT ... But first a quick jump to the last weekend. Winter suddenly has stopped, rain had washed away the salt from the roads over night. I went to the lake early in the morning. Sun was just before rising up. I could see a yellow orange stripe along the horizon, super clear water, swans slowly waking up. What a panorama !!! From our side of the shore you can see the mountains of the Swiss Alps, if the sky is clear. That morning they where super clear, white shining snow on top. Simply perfect ! Unfortunately I neither had a camera nor my PT with me. So I decided to come back the next weekend ... Today morning , Feb. 23rd, 2019 something between 6.00 and 6.30 a.m. Knowing that there is just one access to the shore and it is strictly forbidden to enter it with a vehicle, I arrived a bit too early. Drove in with a slight bad conscience. Nobody was there. But today, no mountain view, just a grey haze. No swan just some scattered ducks. No orange horizon. Damned. Since I took the risk to get serious trouble, I yet decided to take some quick shots with the camera and quickly sneak away off of the shore. Jumped into the truck, wrooom, rear wheels scrabbled in the sand, ooops. A bit less throttle, but too late. Rear wheels went deeper and deeper .... then a man walked by, he was looking a bit wrathful / surprised. I probably like a caught little boy. But hey, that was a colleague from work !! I quick explained my situation, he just: ohooohhh. Now to make it short. He rushed to his home, came back with his car and a rope. (Still nobody else came to the shore - biiig trouble, if the sheriff or a conservationist would have appeared). Hooked in the rope and towed me out of my awkward situation. Yesss !!! I asked him what he wants to get, but he did refuse ... "hmm, maybe a ride in the PT !?" he said. So yes, I gladly will take him to a tour along the lake !!! So here some adventure pics I shot, although they are certainly not perfect: Was it worth it ? For me YESSS !
