This 1938 Chrysler Imperial C-19 is beautifully restored – frame off, with detailed photos of the restoration to back it up. They started with a good, complete car and turned back the clock to make it look like new!
.
We start with a view of the streamline moderne styling – a late 1930’s update to the original art deco movement which started in 1925. We see smooth, aerodynamic surfaces, and a black paint job that is deep, brilliant, and applied over excellent bodywork. Straight, nice, and everything fits as it should.
.
This car has the proper straight eight engine, which was rebuilt during the restoration. It also features a 3 speed transmission with factory overdrive! Which works! And independent front suspension and hydraulic brakes.
.
Beautiful grille
.
And RiteWay Headlamps!
.
Great!

The whitewalls are a great touch
