1942 Chrysler Crown Imperial C37 8 passenger Parade Car Limousine Like with all US Automobile manufacturers, Chryslers production plants were converted to supply for the war effort in 1942 and almost no civilian car production took place that year. This is truly a unique car. The vehicle served as the limousine which transported wedding parties and guests to the chapel. The car is mainly in un-restored condition and still shows really nice. The paint, chrome and stainless are still in good condition. Some basic maintenance work has been done to the vehicle such as new radiator, brakes, shocks, tires and a rebuilt carburetor. It runs and drives very well. The Spitfire 323 L-head Inline eight cylinder engine is running smoothly and moving the big car with ease. The interior shows nice, the seats have been redone once in the past. The mileage of 68298 appears to be original and is consistent with its history. The vehicle is 73 years old and is not a show car or "100 point" car. It has minor scratches, dings, wear and tear. it is a drivable piece of American automobile history. This vehicle has no convertible top. It is a "Parade Limousine" and is meant to be a full time topless vehicle. It is often called a "Phaeton" because it has no top and there is a separation cowl between the rear passengers and the driver. Many presidents had parade vehicles and many big cities owned one for major event parades.
