1937 Chrysler Imperial Series C-14

The eight-cylinder Imperial of 1937 featured the same styling as the six-cylinder Royal but rested on a longer wheelbase, had a longer hood and cowl, and had more luxurious interior appointments. Chrysler described its all-new C-14 Imperial series as 'Sweeping Lines,' referencing the aerodynamic bodylines and Art Deco styling cues. On the inside, all gauges were set flush with the surface of the instrument panel and included a heater, clock, cigarette lighter, radio antenna, and built-in defroster. The car was powered by an inline L-head, eight-cylinder engine with a cast-iron block, 273.8 cubic-inch displacement size, and breathing through a Stromberg 2V model EE-22 carburetor. It used a manual synchromesh three-speed transmission, floor shift controls, conventional clutch, shaft drive, a hypoid rear axle, four hydraulic brakes, steel spoke wheels, and riding on a 121-inch wheelbase.
