The Walter P. Chrysler Museum

Revisited January 6, 2008.

Mr. Chrysler turned down college to become a machinist and was enthralled by the automobile. He was a mechanical marvel and worked for several auto companies, developing new automobile components and refining assembly operations. In 1911, he took a 50% pay cut to go to work for Buick Motor Car Company and William C. Durant. He left due to a dispute 9 years later and set out to form his own company. By 1928, Chrysler Corporation was the third largest automaker in the United States.

My father had a Dodge sedan delivery in the 30's. It had a back seat that could be taken in or out. The back had long glass windows and black panels that coulde be snapped in when the seat was out and used for deliveries. tThis was in Princeton Indiana and was used as a car and delivery vehicle.

In 1944 I purchased a 1934 Plymouth delux coupe... for fifty dollars..had chrome headlights and the vent doors on each side of the cowl were also chromed.. it had a knob in the center of the panel that had wording thereon, that as I recall spelled out "cruise" or something to that effect. That was the only car that I ever made money on... I sold it .. probably in late '44 or early '45 .. for sixty-five dollars. Sure wish that I had it back now.... Bob

Dear Sirs, I have recently restored my 1932 Dodge Brothers 1/2 ton pickup. I have owned the truck for 45 years. I`m told that it is very rare because it has the square cab with wood inside ,not the all steel cab. I belong to the Dodge Brothers Club and they think that itwas made for only a few months and then the company made the steel cab with rounded corners. It also has two spare tires,one in each fender well and chrome headlights. I havn`t had any luck researching my truck. The information seems to skip over 1932. The serial number is 8005307 and it came off the assembly line on Jan.27,1932. I would appricate any information you could give me on my truck. If you want a picture, please let me know. Thanks, Ron Gilbert 223 Winter St. Claremont,N.H. 03743 Tel.603 477 7780

No offense meant, but isn't the 1954 Chrysler New Yorker Convertible a "Deluxe", not a "special". I owned one back in 1958.
