1931 Chrysler Series CD

Walter P. Chrysler's first automobile bearing his own name was built at Detroit's former Chalmers plant and made its debut in January 1924. It was a well-engineered and innovative vehicle that was medium-priced and its six-cylinder engine offered above-average performance. The new Chrysler had a tubular front axle, full-pressure lubrication, and hydraulic brakes. During its first year of production, more than 32,000 examples were sold. Chrysler quickly built a reputation for its excellent performance and durability, and this was proven during the late 1920s and early 1930s in top racing events, including the 24 Hours of LeMans, Spa 24 Hours, and the Mille Miglia.

The 1930s saw Chrysler introducing its Imperial Eight and continued updates to its core six-cylinder models. The CD Deluxe Eight line was introduced in May of 1931. Power was from an L-head 282.1 cubic-inch engine offering 100 horsepower and mated to a four-speed 'multi-range' transmission. Body styles included a convertible coupe, Royale, roadster, and sedan. The wheelbase measured 124 inches and had an overall length of 145 inches.

The rumble seat roadster was priced at $1,545, the rumbleseat coupe at $1,525, the sedan and business coupe at $1,565, the convertible coupe at $1,585, and the four-door phaeton at $1,970. The sedan was the most popular with 5,843 examples built, followed by 1,506 of the rumbleseat coupe. A total of 511 were rumbleseat roadsters, 501 of the convertible coupe, and 500 of the business coupe. Just 113 examples were phaetons, plus an additional 126 chassis.

The 1931 Chrysler model lineup included the Series CJ Six, the Series 66 Six, Series CM Six, the Series CD Eight, the Series CG Imperial Eight, and the Deluxe CD Series Eight.
