Description
Walter P. Chrysler, a former railway worker, made his reputation working for Buick, then took over the Maxwell Motor Company which was heavily in debt. Soon afterwards he bought the Chalmers company and, in 1924, launched a completely new car called Chrysler.
The first six cylinder model had a number of engineering refinements including four-wheel hydraulic brakes and subsequently his Chrysler cars became renowned for their build quality and innovations. Chrysler cars came to Australia during the 1920's and were fitted with locally built bodies which were built by T.J. Richards and also Holden.
The eight cylinder special bodied Chrysler products from the 1930s are commanding large sums at auction in the U.S. and this highly desirable and collectible coupe will prove to be a good investment for the discernable collector and would not look out of place in any world class collection.
