No longer an Airflow, the true Imperial of 1937 had the same styling as Chrysler's six-cylinder line of the year named Royal. However, these eight-cylinder Imperials feature a longer wheelbase, larger tires, longer hood and cowl, and more luxurious interior appointments. The Imperial name appeared prominently on the nose between the grille and the wraparound hood louvers. Of the C-14 series total production of 87,000 in 1937, only 351 were two-door convertibles. Weighing 3,609 pounds, the car sold new in 1937 for $1,170.
This car is the only known survivor with a front wing-window assembly which was changed, mid-year, to a single-door window. It was purchased at auction in 2005 after being discovered partially disassembled in a barn in Western Pennsylvania. Restoration began in late 2011 and was completed in the fall of 2013. Its exterior is a factory-correct Brewster Green Metallic with a matching leather interior. In addition to being a very rare model, it is the only known survivor to sport front wing-window assemblies as mid-year production changed to single-glass door windows.
