Chrysler went upmarket with their Imperial series, which began in 1926. All were fitted with 6-cylinder engines until the 8s were introduced in 1931. The look of the CL Imperial is credited to industrial designer Alexis de Sakhnoffsky, who created several European prewar sports cars and whose work on the Cord L-29 brought him fame in the United States. All of the CL Imperial bodies with their long six-foot hood line were built by LeBaron on a 146-inch wheelbase. In 1933, Chrysler sold just over 150 CL Imperials, and of those nearly a third were Close Coupled Sedans, but this is one of only four Close Coupled Sedans known to survive. It was owned and restored by Frank Kleptz in the mid-1990s. Its current owner bought the car in 2015 and restored it.
