White Spyder Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 I found this site while researching a Windsor that I Wasserstein looking to buy and found it very helpful as they are "kissing cousins.". Now I have sealed the deal on the '48 and was wondering if there was a site specific to the Chryslers. Any help would be appreciated. Quote
RobertKB Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 Welcome! This is a great forum and we have several members with '46-'48 Chryslers. Mechanically Chryslers are very similar to Desoto, Dodge, and Plymouth. You will find you will be able to get help with just about any problem. It is well worth your while to stay a member. There is a group dedicated to your car and that is http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/46-48chryslers/ It would be worth your while joining that group but I encourage you to participate on this fourm also. Lots of members here belong to more than just one forum. Quote
1940plymouth Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 Welcome aboard, those late '40's Chryslers are a great looking car. Can you post some photos when you get a chance? Quote
oldodge41 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 Congrats on the purchase. Stick around here, there are folks willing and able to answer just about any questions you may have. Welcome to the forum.......Tim Quote
Gary Manes Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 The other web site is VERY fussy when it comes to the Chryslers. If you suggest modernizing or changing anything they go into a freenzy. Several members became so disgusted with some of the obsessive members they started another web site for which I do not know the name. What I do remember is the name, Edward Pauch, of the the most knowledgeable member who runs the new site. He makes reproduction parts, and sells them on e-bay from time to time. His plastic items are of VERY high quality. He lives in Winnipeg, Canada. Other than this web site, he is the only other person you need to know. So, looks for his items on e-bay. You can contact him if you like, but I do not know his currrent e-mail address. It may be on his e-bay sale pages. Quote
RobertKB Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 You should be able to contact Ed through http://edpauchchryslerparts.blogspot.com/ Quote
BeBop138 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 You should be able to contact Ed through http://edpauchchryslerparts.blogspot.com/ KB---went to his site and used his email and it wont go thru---do you have another route for him or phone number......Thanks.......Lee Quote
RobertKB Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 No I don't as I just googled him and that is what I came up with. Send a PM or email to Rockwood (Fred) as he lives near Ed and knows him. He likely has some contact info for him. Quote

White Spyder Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) Thanks for all the information. I do plan to stay on here, I have found lots of good tips and the more the merrier! I am planning on keeping the car close to original but it will be getting seat belts, disk brakes and ignition improvements at a minimum. Edited April 2, 2011 by White Spyder Quote
greg g Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 You can probably get a lot of information from the Imperial Club website. There do lean toward Imperials, but thee is a lot of Chrylser repai and other iformation there. Quote
theridgely Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 This is an excellent site. The Antique Automobile Club of America also has a very good forum. And the WPC Club has a good list of resources for mopars. I use all of them. Quote

55 Fargo Posted April 3, 2011 Report Posted April 3, 2011 Hi and welcome aboard, hope you enjoy it here, as this isa great web forum dedicated to 40s and 50s Mopars, especially with L Head 6s. Here is a pic of my 47 Chrysler Royal Club Coupe, nothing special, but she's mine...... Quote
White Spyder Posted April 3, 2011 Author Report Posted April 3, 2011 I was able to get a couple of photos. Here is my yet un-named project. Quote
P-12 Tommy Posted April 3, 2011 Report Posted April 3, 2011 Project? I wish mine looked that good. Welcome to the best fathead site on the WWW. Tom Quote
greg g Posted April 3, 2011 Report Posted April 3, 2011 Usually a project has lots of things to do, that looks pretty complete unless of course there is a gapping hole betweent the front fenders or something. Nice lookin Crashler, Where ar you located? Quote
White Spyder Posted April 3, 2011 Author Report Posted April 3, 2011 (edited) Thanks, It is in great shape. Only bad spot is on the body along where the trunk closes. Most of what needs to be done is freshening up. There are few electrical things and the cooling system needs work. From what I have been able to find out here I believe it to be an issue with the water distribution tube. I can't wait to take delivery and start to work. BTW, I am in Central MS.

Al B. Bach Posted April 3, 2011 Report Posted April 3, 2011 That's a great looking Windsor! I have a 53 and have found this site to be invaluable as it has saved me not only time but money as well. Welcome to the forum and remember, we love photos so keep em coming as you work on and enjoy your car. Carl Quote
PatS.... Posted April 3, 2011 Report Posted April 3, 2011 Your Chrysler is a beauty, especially with the "Highlander" interior. Polish it and drive it!!!! Quote
1940plymouth Posted April 3, 2011 Report Posted April 3, 2011 Your Chrysler is a beauty, especially with the "Highlander" interior. Polish it and drive it!!!! As you can tell, I agree with PatS:) Quote
oldodge41 Posted April 4, 2011 Report Posted April 4, 2011 Your Chrysler is a beauty, especially with the "Highlander" interior. Polish it and drive it!!!! When my Dad had his '48 Chrysler coupe he always told me he wished it had a "Highlander" interior. He described it to me and I thought I liked his burgundy color better until I saw this. Now I know what he meant. That is a beautiful combination.................Tim Quote
