Vehicle Description
Walter P. Chrysler never stinted on quality engineering, materials
and design, but neither did he or his organization chase fads.
Their cars were sleekly designed with tasteful and fully-appointed
coachwork as exemplified by this 1931 CG Imperial Close-Coupled
four-door sedan. Equally at home with a chauffeur and privileged
occupants in the rear seat or owner-driven, it exudes style and
exclusivity. According to the Standard Catalog of American Cars
only 1,195 CG Imperial close-coupled sedans were built. It is
recognized by the Classic Car Club of America as a Full Classic
(R), eligible for the full panoply of desirable CCCA events and an
ideal introduction to the Classic Car fraternity. Restored some
time ago but carefully maintained and preserved, the subtle
two-tone Timber Beige over Rancocas Beige exterior livery is
complemented by Tan Bedford Cloth upholstery with Brown leather
piping and interior trim that is lightly used but in very good
condition. Features include dual enclosed sidemount spares, orange
wire wheels with hubcaps and trim rings, wide whitewall tires and
Trippe Safety Lights. At the rear of the close-coupled body there
is a luggage rack that folds between the rear fenders. The rear
compartment features a folding middle armrest, footrests and
vanity/smoker's kit appointments. Quality woodgraining accents the
window surrounds and dashboard above the black painted instrument
panel that has crisp, clear gauges and a Waltham clock. The engine
compartment was fully restored and has been driven but is recently
detailed and shows only slight signs of use and age. This is a
distinctive Full Classic Chrysler with rare close-coupled
coachwork, a quality older restoration that is thoughtfully
preserved, presented to high standards and with its smooth inline
eight cylinder 385 cubic inch, 125 horsepower engine and 4-speed
transmission. ready for the post-Covid touring and show season.
