1929 Chrysler Model 75 Roadster


Recommended Posts

OK, no laughing because I'm new to AACA and looking for information about Chryslers. My dad was a big Chrysler fan. I'm well versed in the Model A Ford having restored a 1930 coupe from the ground up. Now I want to tackle something larger and more challenging. I really like the Model 75 roadster and not being familiar with Chrysler cars from the late 1920's I would like someone to comment on the availability of this car in unrestored condition and parts availability.

Nobody's laughing. Chrysler made some of the most technically up to date cars of the twenties and yours is one of the best. Their names reflected their top speed, the 75 model would do 75MPH, very fast for the twenties. Second only to the Imperial 80, Chrysler's top model.

Incidentally in 1928 Chrysler advertised the Imperial 80 as America's most powerful car at 112HP. The more powerful Duesenberg and V16 Cadillac did not debut until 1929.

Your roadster would have been one of the hotter performing cars of the time.
