By the late 1920s, the Chrysler Corporation had spent more than 22 million in expansions and development in just under three years. 1928 marked the company's first entry into racing, sending a small fleet of cars to LeMans, Goodwood, and other venues where they would place well considering the company was competing against the vast International competition.
Chrysler's Model 72 Deluxe Roadster was a sporty model that was meant to appeal to younger people. The Deluxe was a slightly upgraded version of the Roadster, offering sportier accouterments and trim. This particular example has been lovingly maintained for many years. It has a rumble seat and a 248.9 cubic-inch L-head six-cylinder engine. It is painted in period-correct blue with a brown interior. When new, it was one of the more costly cars of the late-1920s, having a selling price of $1,525.By Daniel Vaughan | Dec 2014
