Beautifully restored 1931 Chrysler Imperial CG 7-Passenger Sedan finished in a sharp two-tone paint scheme of Silver and Black with a Gray wool broadcloth interior and woodwork trim with a rich gloss. This Imperial is the first year to feature Chryslers new straight 8 engine, displacing 384ci (engine #CG1069) and a rating of 125 horsepower, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. Unique to this generation of Imperials were functional, vertical hood louvers that were thermostatically controlled with auto-adjusting radiator shutters that will open to allow more air flow. Other options include adjustable front seat and steering column, luggage rack with trunk, heater, dual side mounted spares with hard covers, dual interior sun visors, rear window shade, 18” wire spoke wheels, dual cowl vents, safety glass by Lockheed, open face rust proof fenders, and hydraulic brakes. Improvements for road use include integrated turn signals in the taillights and an auxiliary electric fuel pump.

Of the 3,228 Chrysler CG Imperials that were built for 1931, only 403 of them displayed the iconic styling of the 7-Passenger 4-door sedans represented here. This sedan carries an early body #19 and was said to have been delivered new to Thomas Minnick Jr, a Philadelphia commissioner and popular politician. A rare survivor with formal coachwork by Briggs Manufacturing, with a well-preserved restoration by Lavine Restorations completed in 2006. This Imperial CG shows 51,196 on the odometer and remains in terrific condition eligible for CCCA Caravan events.
