The 1937 Chrysler's Chrysler is not the only one-of-a-kind automobile built for Walter P. Chrysler. This 1932 Chrysler Imperial Speedster was built for the boss on the short 135-inch wheelbase instead of the 146-inch platform. After a complete restoration by its current owner Sam Mann in 1990, the car won Best of Show at the 1991 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.

The six Vanderbilt Cup Races held on Long Island from 1904 to 1910 were the greatest sporting events of their day, and the first international automobile road races held in the United States. The races had a far-reaching impact on the development of American automobiles and parkways. This site provides comprehensive information on the races, the Long Island Motor Parkway and current Long Island automotive events, car shows and news.

Howard, do you have pictures of the before condition and during restoration effort, or other photos of the completed project. What a long hood, I wonder what engine powers this work of art.
Howard- Absolutely a stunning car, much enjoy seeing it.
(Would not blame you if you traded your Chrysler’s Chrysler for this one.) What I find remarkable about the design is it appears the door hinges are hidden. I’d understood the 37 Cord was the first car with that design feature. Hard to think of a 135-inch wheelbase as being the short one . Today’s Chrysler 300 has a 120.2 inch wheelbase.
