For 1929, the four-cylinder Chryslers were renamed as Plymouths. The entry level Chrysler was now the Series 65, and came with a six-cylinder engine that offered 65 BHP. They were available as a roadster, tourer, 2- and 4-door sedan, 5-window coupe, and a business coupe. Pricing ranged from $1065 to $1150. The wheelbase measured 112.75-inches and rode on 5.50 x 18 tires. Standard equipment included Lockheed internal hydraulic brakes and hydraulic shock absorbers.
