Vehicle Description
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. To view the car in greater detail,
including an HD video and 100+ HD pictures please visit
