1930 Chrysler Series 77

Walter P. Chrysler took the job of re-organizing the ailing Maxwell Motor Company and in 1925 the Chrysler Corporation was officially founded. Walter had plans for building a revolutionary mass-market car that was designed to be higher quality than the commonly seen Ford's yet more affordable than the likes of Buick and Cadillac. The vehicles were produced at the old Chalmers plant in Detroit and introduced in January 1924. These cars were innovative, medium-priced, six-cylinder cars of better-than-average performance. This was soon demonstrated by numerous sports successes. Chrysler competed at LeMans, Spa, and in the Mille Miglia since 1925, and in 1930 two Model 77 Roadsters were factory raced at Spa. A 77 Series Roadster driven by Stoffel and De Costier finished 5th behind three Alfas and a Bugatti. At the 1930 Mille Miglia, Leonardi and Barbieri repeated their five-liter class win from the previous year.

The new Chrysler cars had hydraulic brakes, aluminum pistons, full-pressure lubrication, and a tubular front axle, and were able to reach 70mph comfortably.

Chrysler introduced the Series 77 in 1930 and offered a wide variety of factory body styles. The model features a 4-speed transmission, double-drop frame, parking lamps on the front upper corner pillars, and distinctive concave moldings on the open-top models. Pennon-type hood louvers were used on early production units, while later cars switched to a vertical design.
