1950 Chrysler Royal Sedan

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Out of a combination of a lifelong automotive passion and an unyielding desire to support the people of his Alabama community, the Generous Collection was born. Mr. Greg Rusk, a successful business leader in the cardboard industry with a big heart for helping families and friends in times of need, would regularly pay overly generous prices to acquire an interesting vehicle. After decades of collecting and supporting local automotive enthusiasts, the Rusk family is ready for these vehicles, each with their own story, to write their next chapter back on the road where they belong.

The Generous Collection returns with Part 2 offering over 250 cars in August, all offered without reserve, after emerging from years of long-term silent storage. From the quiet shadows of the Generous Collection to the sunshine of backroads and highways, enthusiasts now have the opportunity to own a piece of a generous car-collecting legacy.

Built in the hopeful glow of postwar America, this 1950 Chrysler Royal was Chrysler’s entry‑level offering. Available in five models, the Royal’s understated presence was enhanced by bright chrome trim, a bold grille, and rounded fenders.

Beneath the car's broad hood lived Chrysler’s 251ci inline-six engine, mated to a three‑speed manual gearbox with column‑mounted shifter. Inside, the Royal offered a wide bench seat and excellent visibility.

This ’50 Royal has been refinished in powder blue paint with light brown broadcloth upholstery with black vinyl seat trim and brown carpet. Features include a full-width chrome grille with horizontal bars, chrome front and rear bumpers, beltline molding, rear stone guards, independent front suspension with coil springs, hydraulic drum brakes, 15” steel wheels with covers, and an AM radio.

This 1950 Chrysler Royal Sedan is represented by a Broad Arrow Specialist and is now offered at no reserve with a clean Alabama title in the current owner's name.

Please note that all lots in The Generous Collection are offered after many years of storage, without operation or service, in warehouse facilities. The seller endeavored to provide very limited mechanical servicing to bring some cars back to running potential; however, not all cars will be running at time of sale. Because of the extended static display, it must be assumed that all cars will require extensive additional mechanical attention before being driven safely and, in most cases, cleaning both the interiors and exteriors. All the cars will have imperfections associated with long-term static storage and require extensive sorting to perform best and safely. The burden of determining a car’s status, both mechanical and cosmetic, rests fully on the bidder, prior to bidding and the close of the auction. All lots are sold as is, where is. 

Additionally, due to the location of the collection and limited access to the facility following the close of the auction, all lots must be retrieved while a Hagerty Marketplace representative is onsite, between the hours of 9AM to 6PM local time beginning Monday, September 14 through Wednesday, September 30. No cars can be retrieved prior to September 14, and any lots remaining after September 30 will be re-located outside in the parking lot for retrieval by their buyers.
