1924 Chrysler Town & Country

Description

This auction is for a 1924 Chrysler from my dad's estate. He was rebuilding her to be a parade and show car. The paint is new and is in excellent shape, but the tan still needs the color sanding done. The upholstery is finished except for the top and side curtains. A rebuilt engine was installed, The engine ran great when the car was parked but that was years ago. The original engine also comes with the car. A new master cylinder was installed but I don't believe it was hooked up. The car was sent out for upholstery but unfortunately dads heart condition never allowed him to finish the top and finish the details. There is a spare instrument cluster with gauges that appear to be in nicer condition. The title is in my moms name so there are no paperwork issues.
Introduced in 1924, the Chrysler six boasted only 201 cubic inches but its 4.7:1 compression ratio engine delivered 68 horsepower. The flathead V-8 of 1932 was 221 cubic inches but with 65 hp still didn't match Chrysler's smooth, quiet 1924 Six. Even Buick's valve-in-head six of 1924 required 255 cubic inches to generate 70hp. Chrysler was one of the first to adopt 4-wheel hydraulic brakes and the Chrysler Six also had full pressure engine lubrication. Chrysler sold 32,000 of them in its first year. Being number 6271 makes this an early production vehicle. It isn't often that an example of such a significant American automobile comes along, but this is one. Not only that but it is one of the most desirable body styles, the 1924
Chrysler Model B-70
Six Phaeton. Features include varnished wood spoke artillery wheels, whitewall tires, front and rear chrome bumpers, Chrysler-branded running board step plates with mud wipers, winged radiator cap, windshield wiper and a rear-mounted spare that complemented the phaeton body's lines.
