Chrysler Royal

Convertible

The Chrysler Royal was a car, the Chrysler model year 1933 and produced from 1937 to 1950. 1933, the Royal was offered with an eight-cylinder engine from 1937 with six-cylinder engines.

The car was presented with a side-valve eight-cylinder in-line engine with 4485cc capacity, which developed 90hp (66 kW) at 3.400/min. On request, a higher-density engine with 98hp (72 kW) was available. There were two wheelbases, 3,048 mm and 3,251 mm. On the short chassis three coupes, convertibles two and a 4-door sedan was offered, on the long, there was only a 4-door sedan with 7-8 seats. In addition, there was the long Chassis even without a body to be passed on body farms.

The vehicles generated the model from CP from the previous year and in 1934 its part of the new Chrysler Airflow replaced. From the series CT, which took place in the middle this year in the Chrysler model range, created 10,389 pieces.

After a three year hiatus reappeared a Chrysler Royal, this time as a successor to the Chrysler Airstream Six. Thus, it was Chrysler’s smallest model – the only six-cylinder. Its 3,737cc engine developed 93hp large (68 kW), also available 100hp (74 kW). Again, there were two wheelbases (2,946 mm and 3,378 mm), with a touring sedan were available (with separate boot) and a Pullman limousine on the longer chassis. The bodies had the fashionable "forward design" in which seemed to tilt forward front of the vehicle, which looked particularly fast. 1937 created 86,000 Royal.

With a few changes (for example on the radiator grille) of the Royal was built further in the following year. The engine capacity was increased to 3,957cc, its performance at 95hp (70 kW), or on request 102hp (75 kW). The production fell this year to 43,300 pieces, which almost corresponded to a halving.

In 1939, the Royal completely new bodies with alligator hood and integrated into the fenders headlights. The grille beneath the hood was held (vertical chrome bars) in the "waterfall" style. The windshield was divided and had a V-shape. On the short chassis (3,023 mm wheelbase), there were only four bodies – two coupes, a 2-door and 4-door sedan, each in standard version (Royal) and luxury (Royal Windsor). The long chassis (3,454 mm wheelbase) was just to get to the known standard constructions. The engine power was increased at a constant displacement to 100hp (74 kW) or 107hp (79 kW). The production numbers rebounded back to 60.001 pieces.

The bodies of the previous year were without major changes (The grille now horizontal chrome bars had) taken over into the new model year. In addition to the Royal, there was now the six-cylinder model series Windsor and Highlander. Again, the increased engine output, on 108hp (79.5 kW), or 112hp (82 kW). Of all the three series were made in this year 73 998 vehicles.

With a few changes and the following year was denied. The cars were slightly wider and lower. 136 701 cars came from all three six-cylinder series.

In this shortened model year (August 1941-February 1942). Striking was the new grille design: five horizontal chrome bars that were extended by the corners of the vehicle up to the front wheel arches. The enlarged to 4,106cc engine produced 120hp (88 kW). After the Highlander was again eliminated, there were only two six-cylinder series, of which 23,991 units were manufactured.

The design of the first post-war models corresponded to the last pre-war models with minor changes to the grille. The engine output was unchanged at 114hp engine capacity (84 kW) was slightly lower.

In the two following years only minimal changes have been made. 31,731 Royal originated in these three years.

For model year 1949, the bodies have been revised. The grille now consisted of two massive and several smaller horizontal bars. The distinctive front fenders disappeared in favor of the new pontoon. It was the first in the Royal series a station wagon, which was the remaining models, coupe and 4-door sedan made (in long and short version) to the side. This combination had vehicle sides in imitation wood and called Town & Country. The engine output increased by 2hp.

In 1950 the cars were built further with minimal changes. 1949 built 19,076 cars, 1950, there were 24 687.
