1937 Chrysler Imperial Series C-14 Convertible Coupe

Chrysler built 351 examples of its C-14 Imperial with Convertible Coupe coachwork. They had roll-up windows, a rumble seat with seating for two additional passengers, a 274 cubic-inch L-head 8-cylinder engine, a three-speed manual gearbox, and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. This example is fitted with a deluxe steering wheel, fender skirts, chrome wheel discs, and a clock.

This Convertible Coupe was given a restoration by Mark Seybold of Graveyard Run Restorations. It wears its factory original color combination of Everglades Red complemented by a black canvas top and a red leather interior. After the work was completed, the car received an AACA First Place award in April 2018, followed by a string of five additional wins, the most recent in October 2021 at the annual AACA Eastern Fall Meet in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
