blue p15

Wow!! That will be absolutely stunning when it is finished! Keep us up to date on your progress. And include lots of pictures!!

Wow! Thar's a lot of information, Rich!! I sent you an email.

Does anybody have a picture of original wiper switches for a 1936 P2. Mine are totally non-existent, so I don't even know what they are supposed to look like! Of course, if you happen to have a couple of them in your extra parts box, be sure to let me know! Many thanks, guys!!

Man, that looks terrific!! Very impressive!!

Does anyone have access to a color chart that shows pinstripe colors for 1936 P2?

Great looking car! And I love hearing the stories that old cars have to tell.

I'm curious. Could you back the car on to the dolly and secure the front wheels so they don't steer? I saw a tow truck driver take off is belt and strap it around the steering wheel and the door post. He towed the car several miles that way without incident. That would eliminate the need to remove the driveshaft.

Oh, the joys of vacuum wipers! Most 12volt wipers that I have seen cannot be used with the original radio because of clearance issues. You might be able to find a 6volt motor from an early 50s Mopar that would work. If your wires are in good shape, the 6volt wiring will be heavier than a 12volt replacement harness. My personal opinion is that modern plastic coated wiring looks out of place on these cars. A good cloth covered wiring harness is going to be more expensive than a 12olt replacement, but I think it would be worth the extra cost in the end. Just my two cents worth!! Enjoy your great car!!

Thanks, Sniper. I checked the link and it is still 12 volt.

I would like to keep the 6 volt. From what I understand, even if you change to 12 volt, you cannot use the Newport setup if you have the original radio.

My P15 has vacuum. I would like to find a good electric setup that will bolt in without major modifications, and I thought maybe the Chrysler motor would do that.

Will the 6volt 2 speed electric wiper motor from a 46-48 Chrysler bolt into a P15 sedan?

We wish you the best in whatever you do, but you can still stick around here and share some of that sage advise you have gathered over the years!

I have had two dimmer switches from NAPA literally fall apart during he installation process! Are there any good ones out there?
