The image shows a flathead 6-cylinder engine from the Chrysler Corporation, built in about 1953.

FWIW

Is this vehicle in the USA?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #18 on:** June 06, 2013, 08:23:45 AM »

The Chrysler connection was established earlier.

This installation was completed before 1953, and used within the US.
