Hi, This has nothing to do with Durant.......a friend of mine is looking for a Chryco tire sold by Dodge and Plymouth dealers in Canada, and probably anything else Chryco. Any help would be appreciated!
Seems to be lots of hits under search. Ebay has Chryco stuff as well. Don't think he will be lucky for tires based on MSN search or Google which is better. Be like looking for parts for our DMAC cars. Fluke if you find one.
Here's part of one site
http://www.allpar.com/mopar/canadian.html
The term "Chryco" was used by Chrysler of Canada for its parts department from the 1930s into the 1970s. The more the Canadian market was integrated with the American, the more the name "Mopar" was used in Canada. At the same time, the "Autopar" name disappeared. It was used by Chrysler of Canada for its line of parts for non-Chrysler dealers, much like Prestolite, Champion, and the like. Chrysler offered everthing from ignition parts, hoses, brake parts to tires under the "Autopar" name.
Regarding tires, he is only looking for one good looking tire for his display. He has a Chryco tire stand, and the advertising insert for the center of the tire. I agree it will be difficult to find......no one advertises a "collector tire". But thought maybe one of you guys up North might know of one.
