chrysler1941 Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Has anybody seen such a battery? Perhaps a photo? What color was the bright part? Lettering? What was written on the top side? What color were the filler plugs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classiccarjack Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 You have my attention! I know where to find the 12 VDC & the decorated cover that slides over 12 VDC batteries to fake the funk so to speak. But I never have seen a 6 VDC version. I would like to know if this product exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgeb4ya Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) I have seen MoPar fake battery covers... .fit 6 and 12 volt. I have never seen the OE battery or any thing that looks close and as cool as the original equipment battery as shown above.

chrysler1941 Posted April 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Guys I know you’re all trying to be helpful, and it’s appreciated, but I’m not in a need of a battery. I only want this model that came with the car. I need a more detailed photo to fabricate one around a stock battery. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrysler1941 Posted April 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) So my battery finally gave up last year and now I can get back after some 4 year with the OEM battery fabrication. Bought an Exide EU140-6 which is available here and has flat sides. Made arrangements with friends, one is a carpenter and another who owns a vinyl wrap sticker company. They both think I'm insane but I already knew that. ? Carpenter will produce ribbed wavy moldings(probably wrong word) and glue them to battery side. He'll also make the 2 pieces behind logos. Vinyl guy will wrap it, carefully pressing it into contours. Thanks to desoto1939 I worked on the layout and this is what I came up with. This took some time to do. Also I'm not sure of the yellow color. I wonder it it's an artist drawing. Is this yellow used elsewhere with MoPar? Any ideas?

greg g Posted April 18, 2021 Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 (edited) The dealership I worked for in the 60s had a Mopar battery Merchandiser standing in front of the parts counter. They had Mopar labeled 6 v group 1 similar to the ones above but they had red stripe on the yellow portions. The 12volt had the forward look design on them. This was in the mid 60s. My dads 54 Meadowbrook had the Mopar logoed battery in it. It also had a Mopar labeled jiffy jet windshield washer set up. The one with the foot pump and the plastic bag that looked like an IV bag. https://www.ebay.com/itm/ORIGINAL-MOPAR-JIFFY-JET-WINDSHIELD-WASHER-FLUID-BAG/184531632728?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=184531632728&targetid=1068323852870&device=t&mktype=pla&googleloc=9005095&campaignid=11615792065&mkgroupid=114626994193&rlsatarget=pla-1068323852870&abcId=9300456&merchantid=101491398&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpYbgjo-I8AIVB4TICh0p-AGUEAQYCCABEgLjNvD_BwE&pageci=f901d15a-6e56-489d-b121-bedbbba5c295&redirect=mobile Edited April 18, 2021 by greg g 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
