Sorry, further investigation says it was a Continental, who bought the company after WWII.
How about some Chrysler flathead 6 sped parts, though? Not the Plymouth/Dodge 6 that was known in my parts as "the engine with the lead crank" because they were soft.
R. More internet crap.......all of those 'soft' cranks were forged and some of the best pieces made by any of the manufacturers. I'm betting that a disgruntled shiverlay sort needed to make his-self feel better about his old dip-n-throw...

Broke at the rear main journal. Kevin.

Soft bends, not breaks.
Probably from an over rev situation. Long stroke cranks do not like to be over rev'd.
Heck, I've seen 318 cranks break at the center journal, no one says they are soft.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.
