Chrysler built the luxurious 1931 CG Imperial to compete with the Duesenbergs, Packards, and Cadillacs of the period. Al Leamy designed the LeBaron-built Dual Cowl Phaeton following the style of his Cord L-29. The original CG Imperial featured gracefully swept bumpers and a V-shaped radiator, but LeBaron improved this with a longer bonnet and a more swept-back grille. At 17 feet from bumper-to-bumper, the CG Imperial is considered to be among the finest-looking and best-driving cars of the era. It is powered by a 384.83 cubic-inch straight eight with a top speed of 96 mph and could reach 60 mph in 20 seconds. The Great Depression was a difficult time for sales of the $3,575 automobile and only 339 were manufactured - of which 85 were bodied as Dual Cowl Phaetons. This car was acquired by its present owner in 2009.
