50desotocoupe Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 Right on! Congratulations. She looks great! Post more pictures when you can! Quote
casper50 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 looks nice. I love that body style as you can see. Quote
Tim Keith Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 The fender skirts are cool. I have two P15 business coupes but really like the D24 Quote

JDaniel64 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 That's one smooth lookin' automobile! Enjoy! Quote
sig Posted April 26, 2014 Report Posted April 26, 2014 I know what that feels like (apart from the starting her up bit!) congratulations and enjoy Quote
Uncle-Pekka Posted April 26, 2014 Report Posted April 26, 2014 Congratulations Mattias! Great looking coupe! Wide white walls, Fulton visor, skirts and great looking stance - what more would you possibly want? Are the fender skirts steel? Quote
Mattias78 Posted April 26, 2014 Author Report Posted April 26, 2014 Thanks Pekka! Yes! The skirts are steel! Quote
Uncle-Pekka Posted April 26, 2014 Report Posted April 26, 2014 Toppen! Steel skirts are the way to go (I know the other side of the coin: Cheap me I bought fiberglass skirts by BigJim, they're nonsense) I also noticed your car has straight grille and rocker board mouldings. The rocker brightware is dented on most of these cars. Just keep on coming more photo's we all will enjoy them. 3W business coupes are sweet looking cars. Quote
BigDaddyO Posted April 26, 2014 Report Posted April 26, 2014 Cool! Looks great. Get a fender cover. Quote
Mattias78 Posted April 26, 2014 Author Report Posted April 26, 2014 I will get some fender covers;) Pekka: will post more pics asap! Quote
Mattias78 Posted April 26, 2014 Author Report Posted April 26, 2014 The rocker board mouldings are actually in really nice shape! Quote
kented Posted April 26, 2014 Report Posted April 26, 2014 Awesome! Wish my hood opened like that, cool feature for sure Quote
Mattias78 Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Posted April 27, 2014 And some more! In these pictures you can see the damage to the foor!Hope it won`t be so hard to fix! Quote
Uncle-Pekka Posted April 27, 2014 Report Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) Here are some more pics She's a beauty! I love the patina inside & out. Where from you found the car? (Which state she came from?) Edited April 27, 2014 by Uncle-Pekka Quote
Mattias78 Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Posted April 27, 2014 From California! San José. I love the patina as well! Don't think i'm going to do to much to it! A unrelated guestion! Do you know any place in scandinavia i can get parts? Quote
Uncle-Pekka Posted April 27, 2014 Report Posted April 27, 2014 Hi Mattias, About the parts sources - Unfortunately I do not know any good suppliers in Scandinavia. It does not mean there could not be any, but at least they are not known (by myself). I've got all the special parts from Andy Bernbaum's and generic parts from RockAuto. (Well, I even bought set of tires from the States when I had a chance to have them shipped in with my buddy's car.) This very forum, however, is invaluable source of information and advice in case you run in trouble fixing the car - Thus you've already found the best place! Br., Pekka Quote
falconvan Posted April 27, 2014 Report Posted April 27, 2014 Very nice! Did Chrysler export a lot of cars to Europe in the 40s and 50s? Seems like I've seen a lot of pictures of nice survivors over there. Quote
Mattias78 Posted April 28, 2014 Author Report Posted April 28, 2014 I don't think the imports of american cars were that great back in 40s! This one is from California! I imported it my self! We have a big american car culture in Sweden! So there have many survivors "stolen" from you guys! Quote
D25C_Swe Posted May 9, 2014 Report Posted May 9, 2014 Very nice Mattias! I have got some parts from Kjells veteranbildelar in Kumla. Give him a call and ask about what you need. I have also ordered parts from Rock Auto without any trouble. Check Ebay as well. /Fredrik Quote
