Death Dodger Posted September 3, 2011 Report Posted September 3, 2011 This is at Crescent U-Pull-It in Morrisville, PA. It's just off Tyburn Rd and Route 13. Sheet metal is decent, motor is there (minus head), trans and differental are there. Floors are shot, wheels are gone. I don't know how long it will be there for. Their prices are very good so it would be worth the trip if you need the parts... Quote
Death Dodger Posted September 3, 2011 Author Report Posted September 3, 2011 PS. I have no affiliation with this junk yard, just trying to help out the community. I was there looking for a donor gas tank for my 1940. On the trunk lid there was the distinct outline of "Dodge". Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted September 3, 2011 Report Posted September 3, 2011 it looks more like a chrysler to me. Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted September 4, 2011 Report Posted September 4, 2011 Looks like a 1951-2 Windsor or Saratoga. Quote
B-Watson Posted September 5, 2011 Report Posted September 5, 2011 (edited) Serial number 70095093 is for a Detroit-built 1951 Chrysler Windsor (C51-1), 251-cid six. In that era, American serial numbers started with "1" for Detroit-built Plymouths. "2" for the other Plymouth plants, "3" for Detroit-built Dodges, "4" for California-built Dodges, "5" for Detroit-built DeSotos, "6" for LA DeSotos and Chryslers, "7" for Detroit-built Chryslers and "8" for Dodge, DeSoto and Fargo trucks. All Canadian-built Chryco cars and trucks started with a "9". Although not too obvious in the photo, the rear window is a wraparound rear window, only used on Chryslers. Dodge and DeSoto models used a one-piece unit slightly larger than used in 1950. Edited September 5, 2011 by B-Watson Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Posted September 5, 2011 Apparently it's name is Murphy. Another hint about being a Chrysler is that ridge at the bottom of the left front fender where a piece of stainless trim is located. 1951 Chrysler Saratoga Quote
JerseyHarold Posted September 10, 2011 Report Posted September 10, 2011 (edited) I went to this yard today (still looking for a green Lumina door...) and saw the Chrysler. All six cylinders were full of water because of the recent storms. No brake drums and the interior is trashed. It was a nice car once.... They had another car that I don't think deserves to be there. It's a 4-door '61 Buick Special with a V6 and three on the tree. Looked complete except for the radiator. It must have been in a garage for about 20 years because the last inspection was 1992. Definitely a restorable car. Edited September 11, 2011 by JerseyHarold Quote
