Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome wire wheels, dual windscreens, dual sidemounts, luggage rack. Replica body in LeBaron style. Excellent older restoration showing use and age. Some chips by doors, paint lifting in body creases. Still very presentable and one of the prettiest cars of the early Thirties.

Market commentary

Walter P. Chrysler engineered his cars soundly and gave the body designers a low and sleek shape to work with. This may be a replica, but its a striking replica that can be used without self consciousness, particularly at this price.
