The 1931 Chrysler CG Custom Imperial Dual Cowl Phaeton with chassis number 7801539 and 1931 Chrysler Imperial Sedan with chassis number 7803131 were both offered for sale at the Gooding & Company Auction held in Pebble Beach. They were sold as a pair. Both have custom coachwork by Lebaron and are finished in a two-tone gray color combination. They have racked up numerous awards at prestigious events such as Best of Show at the Hilton Head Concours d'Elegance and First in Class at Pebble Beach and Amelia Island Concours. At the Burn Foundation Concours in Pennsylvania, the award First in Class and Most Elegant Open car were awarded to these vehicles. The list of awards continues and is a testament to the wonderful three-year restoration that occurred.
The vehicles were estimated to sell for $600,000-$750,000 which proved to be accurate, as the selling price was $627,000.
In 2007 the pair returned to Pebble Beach to be sold by the Blackhawk Collection.

The two cars have also won Classic Car Club of America Primary, Senior, and Premier awards, scoring 100 points in each divisional judging.
