Antique Chrysler Parts
Although many still used horse carriages, motor cars have established themselves
as a main transportation machine at the turn of the 20th century. The two prominent
companies and were considered as pioneers in the automotive world were the General
Motors Corporation and the Ford Motor Company that indeed achieve the remarkable
stature by accumulating a stable of fine cars. But in the midst of these two giants,
one person by the name of Walter P. Chrysler had decided to build a company that
will challenge Ford and General Motors.
In January 1924, Chrysler unveiled its first car, to the public during the National
Auto Show in New York City, the Chrysler Six that later got off to a good start
with production of 32,000 units in the first year alone. Two years later, when
the Chrysler Corporation was already established, the first luxury antique model
was released, the Imperial "80" along with the Chrysler "50", the "60" and the
"70." These vehicles were extremely well-engineered with a seven-bearing crankshaft
and one of the first users of high compression. Several antique Chrysler came
out: the 1924 Chrysler Six Touring Car, 1925 Chrysler Rumble Seat Roadster, 1931
Chrysler Rumble Seat Coupe, and the 1931 Chrysler Roadster. In 1934, Chrysler
released its most controversial model, the Airflow 4 Door Sedan. Due to its aerodynamic
body contours, curved nose and sloping rear, it was way ahead of its time. The
Sedan sold poorly that forced the company to redesign the body.
The following year unveiled another set of Chrysler vehicles. In 1936, Chrysler
released the Airstream Convertible Sedan. Five year later Chrysler Town &
Country Station Wagon was out in the market. War brought great strain in the company,
but after the war, they concentrated on engineering improvements, experimenting
with torsion bar suspension, hemispherical combustion chambers, and efficient
use of horsepower. The result was the 1947, Chrysler Town & Country Sedan,
Chrysler Windsor - Eight Passenger, Chrysler Windsor Convertible, and the Chrysler
Town and Country Convertible Woody.
