Cut down into a truck style as was done to many.
This truck / car was used as a break down wagon .
Has 4 wheel power assist brakes, no reg for many years.
Alloy rim from one head light missing.
What would it be worth?

Not much it does not sound like there is much of the original vehicle left .

I had a 1926 Chrysler 4 tourer in 1959. It cost 25 quid at the time, all original and a good runner. As a bonus - it could drag off the nurses Ford Model A.

Hope this helps! lol

The whole front end is there , plus the back seat squab / lower section .
Just from the back of drivers seat has been closed in , and steel roof .

This is the model , but right hand drive.
And has solid steel wheels not the wooden spokes.

Tell us about the power assist brakes. Surely this is not standard? Just having 4 wheel brakes was a big thing in 1925, let alone power assistance.
Wouldn??

Power brakes were stock standard on this car , driven off the gear box , so at very slow speed you need to allow room to pull up, rods apply the brakes, onto the big drum surface.also as most of the cars at that time , hand brake is on drive shaft so not used while in motion , only as a braking brake.

The Chrysler had 4 wheel hydraulic brakes with bands that went around the outside of the drums. Like the Studebaker, hand brake worked on the drive-shaft at the rear of the gearbox, It also had a lockup gear lever position that engaged reverse and second together.

That was a little bit tongue'n'cheek mate.
He's more into old newer ones. But hey - give him a call.
