Commentaires du vendeur sur 1928' Chrysler Series 72
My 1928 Chrysler Model 72 is
offered for sale due to my age, not the age of my car! Within four months, I’ll begin my 85th
year of life, and cannot any longer continue to preserve and maintain this
remarkable car.
This Chrysler was a body-off
restoration done before I bought it eleven years ago. It has been driven very little except in a
couple of parades and showings. It has always been covered in my garage, and
never been exposed to either rain or inclement weather by me. It has a clear Wyoming title, and
registration until recently which I discontinued due to non road use.
I started the car a few days
ago and it runs perfectly, as it should, due to the care and maintenance it has
received these past eleven years! This 1928
Chrysler received an outstanding body-off restoration several years ago, and I
have maintained its preservation since.
This car is a stunning and rare example of a beautiful original Model 72,1928
Chrysler.
Now a description of the
car: One modification has been made to
the original car which is under the hood.
The original engine mechanical fuel pump has been replaced by a modern electric
fuel pump and fuel filter. This change
has vastly improved starting the car, but it could easily be removed to make
the car absolutely original. In my
opinion this would be a mistake since the car starts perfectly with the
electric pump and fuel filter installed.
This is the only visible modification to this original 1928 Chrysler.
However, much additional
mechanical work has been done on the car.
The most expensive change ($1,800) was a new modern radiator core
installed by a classic car
specialist using the original radiator housing with a new replica front radiator
screen. New radiator hoses and the
original water pump were also serviced, resulting in the cooling system running
cooler. The gear box was overhauled
which repaired its leak, and the car
inspected for any other problems.
There were two issues when I
bought the car, one which has been repaired and the other one still remains. The no-pressure cooling system does not have installed
a collection reservoir for its overflow coolant, and without a cooling system reservoir
after shut down, the coolant will sometimes backflow onto the ground through the
radiator’s overflow line. Therefore, it’s essential to always check the
radiator coolant level before driving the car.
This above issue is what led
to the other problem before I bought the car.
A low coolant level in the radiator caused a small overheating crack in
the engine water block. A local machine
shop helped me repair the leak ten years ago which has never been an issue
thereafter because I always checked the radiator coolant level before driving
the car!
My included pictures will
reflect the features and outstanding condition of my car, but a couple
observations may also be helpful. The
rear trunk is almost certainly original, but I have never been able to have
that professionally confirmed. Likewise,
the headlights are original, but the chrome on them may have been an
aftermarket feature. The interior is a
classic grey felt material which was standard issue back in 1928 and the
replacement material is in excellent condition.

Anderson, and I live in Sheridan Wyoming, 82801. My car has always been kept garaged at my
home.
