Chrysler Celebrates A Birthday At the Concours

 

This year marked the 100th anniversary of the founding of Chrysler. To help celebrate, the 47th Cincinnati Concours d'Elegance had a special display of automobiles from the Chrysler Corporation. Among them was a 1960 Chrysler Windsor, a car that was completely original and sported only 50,000 miles.

    Here is a 1948 Town and Country convertible. This "woodie" sports all original wood and chrome. 

Also on display was a 1956 Chrysler New Yorker. Designed by the legendary Virgil Exner, this car actually has a factory installed hifi record player.

 

This is a 1934 Chrysler Airflow. These were the first cars to be designed to be aerodynamic and were even tested in a wind tunnel.

 Here is a 1930 Chrysler 70 Royal coupe. The car was introduced in 1926 and got its name from the top speed it could attain.

This 1932 Chrysler CL Close-Coupled sedan is currently owned by the Gilmore Museum in Michigan. It is one of only two of these that is partitioned. 

 

Here is a very rare 1929 Chrysler open two seat race car. It is believed to be a one off build and has an all aluminum body.

 This 1933 Chrysler Imperial CL Roadster is part of the collection at the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum. Only six of these are known to still exist.

This is a special 1970 Chrysler France Henri Chemin Group 1 Hemi 'Cuda. It was branded a Chrysler because France did not have the Plymouth line.

Here is a 1956 Imperial Crown Limousine. This was the last year Chrysler designed limos in house. This particular car is fully original except for one re-paint.

 

This is a 1963 Imperial convertible. Only 526 of the company's halo car were made that year.
