For Sale: 1930 Chrysler Series 66 in O'Fallon, Illinois

The first Chrysler automobile to appear on American roads was a 1924 model, and Walter P. Chrysler's new car enjoyed immediate success. This 1930 Model 66 two-person coupe is one of 1,600 built in 1929 and 1930. The Depression years were devastating for the country and for the luxury automobile industry. And yet the first Mickey Mouse comic strip appears, gas is only .10 a gallon and this great little car rolls off the assembly line. The Model 66 was named for its 66-mph top speed. This car is the first of twelve two-person coupes built in 1931 as a carryover model. Unique to these twelve is the curved headlight bar, and the model 66 emblem. This Chrysler is equipped with its original 218 cubic-inch engine and 3-speed manual transmission. The cost of this car new was under $1,000. Very few of these cars exist today. What a great piece of American automobile history. Rolling on wooden spoke wheels, and a fun rumble seat in the back. All the work for this car was completed earlier this year.
