Povertycove Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Is the 1937 C-17 Chrysler a Classic, or not? In the Buy and Sell on this Forum there is a C-17 listed for sale, and as a Classic. I checked the CCCA website, and the C-17 isn't listed. I sure hope that it is considered a classic, as I am awfully proud of mine. The C-17 should be a classic.

Owen_Dyneto Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I suggest you contact the CCCA directly as there appears to be some conflicting info. While the list on their current website does not include the C-17, a list published by CCCA and dated August 2014 does indeed list the 34-37 Airflow Imperial Eight C-17.

The C-17 should be a classic.You've innocently stumbled into an old discussion. If you want to call it a classic, no one will have an issue, and please continue to be proud of and enjoy your car . It's not a CCCA Classic or Full Classic - the website explains the criteria. There has been considerable controversy about the newer "border cutoffs," especially regarding your car's descendant Town and Country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Povertycove Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 I spoke with an official of the CCCA last night here in Sarasota ( at an AACA meeting) and he reiterated that the C-17 is considered a Full Classic by the CCCA. But in and earlier response, a writer said that it was an Imperial Airflow C-17 that was accepted. As far as I know, the Imperial designation was not accorded to the C17, though it was accorded to earlier Airflows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 There were no Imperial Airflows in 1937, but the 1937 Airflow C-17s were essentially facelifted 1936 Imperials. I suspect that they would fall under the CCCA's "essentially the same" rule and would be included. I'll ask around and see if I can confirm.

Matt Harwood Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Confirmed. The C-17 is indeed a Full Classic. Verified by David Schultz, former president of the CCCA.On a related note, I'm kind of casually looking for a 1936-37 Airflow Imperial/C-17 for myself, so if anyone has one...(Yes, I already talked to the owner of the one in the Buy/Sell section.)

Verified by David Schultz, former president of the CCCA.Thank you for confirming that, Matt. The Airflow Club, like the HHFranklin Club, is strong, and they have a good classified section. Again. The 1937 isn't,,technically, an Imperial, but I can tell you, you won't find a better touring car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
