    Rear power regulators

    Due to the size of the rear doors, which E-bodies never had, I'm suspecting only C-body vehicles within a particular model year range. As in '65-'68, '69-'73', etc. Just speculating . . . CBODY67

    Want to refoam my 68 newport convertible bucket seats

    Couple of thoughts -- -- The seat covers might look great, but with their age, the fabric backing might be dry-rotted, which might cause problems in taking them off and then re-stretching them on installation. -- Seems like YearONE or Legendary used to sell foam seat buns for '65 Fury...

    Brighten white vinyl boot

    The "grunge" may well be because of the PEARL in the white trim code deteriorating and agig. NO cleaner will remove that that I've found. One of the things Chrysler did back then to make their interiors "sparkle" next to a similar Ford or GM interior was to put a pearl tint on the vinyl and...

    Cause of rust on internal chromework round windshield and door frames ?

    The A-pillar items would be chromed, for sure. I was suggesting the upper roof rail trim ONLY would be the brushed stainless material, as it was not in anybody's plain line of sight, usually unnoticed and unseen. Hence, a less-intense finishing process. CBODY67

    Cause of rust on internal chromework round windshield and door frames ?

    Back when I was going to lots of indoor car shows and seeing some really good customizations, I also noticed the differences in "show chrome" and "normal chrome", plus OEM chrome. Some of the better chrome shops had cut-away pieces of things they'd done, when compared to other shops and OEM...

    Cause of rust on internal chromework round windshield and door frames ?

    Sorry to hear of the health issues and glad things are looking better! The "plug the holes" fix is good and can last a good while. I did similar on a '68 Buick I have that was leaking into the rh frt floorboard, from a cowl rust hole. Incognito and done. The paint inside the car is more of a...

    Rim blow steering wheel

    My '70 DH43 came with the tilt wheel and included Rim Blow wheel. As yours probably is, the "switch" was rock solid when I bought the car in 1975. Horn didn't work, so I put in a new horn relay, then it worked with a very hard squeeze in the right place. But when the ambient temp got past 80...

    Cause of rust on internal chromework round windshield and door frames ?

    One somewhat misconception is that all chrome plating is created equal. In some respects it is, in other respect, it's not. The "bumper chrome" is harder and shinier, for example, that then interior brightwork, which has a more satin finish, by comparison. There are also different "shades" of...

    Question about '68 Monaco/Polara AM radio PN 2649965

    The "assembly plant installed" radios ARE/were available. They are the ones listed in the REGULAR parts book. They come in a box with just the radio in it as all of the "attaching hardware" is already in the car. I ordered all of the parts for my 1970 Monaco to get a factory AM/FM MultiPlex...

    Question about '68 Monaco/Polara AM radio PN 2649965

    Reason? The OEM replacement radios ONLY came with the radio in the box. As it was replacing a radio that was already there, in the car. The OEM accessory radios were for installation where a radio had not been previously installed. So it would come with, most probably, the necessary support...

    Question about '68 Monaco/Polara AM radio PN 2649965

    "Wonder Bar" was probably one of the first things to decrease driver distractions, back then. Had to physically reach to the tuning knob to change the station on non-pushbutton radios. With WB, just hit the other "dimmer switch" and things happened. Hopefully. Some of the earlier Ford search...

    Question about '68 Monaco/Polara AM radio PN 2649965

    Agreed, it's a little-known fact that Chrysler search-tune radios were built by Delco Radio for Chrysler to Chrysler's specs. The Delco "Wonder Bar" radio was supposed to be a "wonder" of mechanical excellence, as others "wondered" if the radio would find a station it liked when the "search"...

    Question about '68 Monaco/Polara AM radio PN 2649965

    Here's ONE thing, you are seeking to find a Canadian Chrysler part number in a USA Chrysler parts book. A "ChryCo" part in a "Mopar" parts book. In many cases in other OEMs, Canadian numbers MIGHT be the same, but usually were not, for whatever reason. The "Accessory Parts" catalog can be...

    Question about '68 Monaco/Polara AM radio PN 2649965

    NOT "ChryCo", but the "Custom Radio" designation. Being that this is a Chrysler Corp part, it would not be like any of the current aftermarket-style radios, but would fit the dash as if it came that way from the factory instead. This could be a "factory aftermarket" radio, not unlike various...

    Question about '68 Monaco/Polara AM radio PN 2649965

    If a seller will not open the box for inspection or display of what's in it, that's their choice. It's also my or somebody else's choice as to buy it and take our chances. Well before Dale Earnhart's wreck, I bought one of the diecast versions of that car, which was bright silver metallic. I...

    Question about '68 Monaco/Polara AM radio PN 2649965

    Have you checked that "Chryco" part number in the normal Chrysler parts book? Reason I ask that is that with the "Custom Radio" on the box, it probably came through the "Factory Accessories" chain as something that came through the normal Chrysler Parts chain would not have that designation...

    Suspected bad ground - call for suggestions

    The turn signal indicator "glow" is from a "backfeed" in the circuit caused by a wire(s) that have lost their connection. As in a flaky wiring connection, bad bulb socket, or flaky bulbs. Looking at what is going on OUTSIDE the passenger compartment (as in watching what is going on from...
