Chrysler introduced the CL in 1932 which stayed in production until 1933. It was a replacement for the CG which had been introduced in 1931. Prior to this, it was the 'L' that was produced from 1929 through 1930. These were Chrysler's ultra-luxury vehicles. Other American automobile producers at this time that were producing high-end, luxury vehicles were Packard, Auburn, Cadillac, Cord, and Duesenberg, to name a few. Many of these vehicles received custom coachwork courtesy of the great coachbuilders of their time. The use of coachbuilders allowed for every detail of the vehicle to be carefully crafted to the owner's specifications and desires. The introduction of the CL was met with economic turmoil as the nation was experiencing the Great Depression. Many high-end luxury marques would go out of business during this period. It is believed that no more than 40 examples of the CL were produced in 1932.
The two-tone cranberry-colored Chrysler CL Custom Imperial Dual Windshield Phaeton with chassis number 7803456 was offered for sale at the 2006 Worldwide Group Auction held on Hilton Head Island. This is a very unique vehicle with an interesting history. It was originally delivered to its first owner On Jun 15th of 1932 as a closed coupled coupe. In the late 1940s, a barn that housed this vehicle caught fire. In the 1980's it was restored with coachwork in the style of LeBaron. It sits atop a 146-inch wheelbase and is powered by a 384 cubic-inch engine that produces 135 horsepower. A three-speed manual transaxle sends that power to the rear wheels.
Since then it has been shown at many events. It was awarded an AACA 1st place award in 1991. It is recognized as a Full Classic by the CCCA.
At the auction, this vehicle was expected to fetch between $200,000-$250,000. At the conclusion of the auction, the vehicle had been left unsold.By Daniel Vaughan | Nov 2006
