1931 Chrysler CG Imperial Sedan

Introduced in July 1930, the CG Imperial was only produced through December 1931. The prior owner of this Close-Coupled CG Imperial Sedan acquired it in 1989 and commissioned a body-off restoration in 1995. At the time, the fenders were missing and new stock pieces were acquired before finishing the car in Royal Maroon lacquer with a casino Red pinstripe and wheels. The original interior was restored using new Bedford cord upholstery and maroon leather trim. When the work was completed, the car was driven on CCCA tours. In 2009, it was purchased by the present owner.

The car has an extensive list of awards including AACA Senior and Grand National honors in 1996, an AACA Southeast Region President's Award, a 100-point CCCA Premier Award, and a Mid-America Old Time Auto Association First Prize.

In 2012, the car was offered for sale at the St. Johns sale presented by RM Auctions. It was estimated to sell for $110,000 - $130,000. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $101,750 inclusive of the buyer's premium.
