LeMay - America's Car Museum

Our Porsche exhibit is set to close in early March. If you haven't been, or haven't visited in a while, be sure to put a trip on the calendar. We have a number of rare, fascinating examples on display, including this 1997 993 C2S Vesuvio.

: 1940 Chrysler Crown Imperial Limo

On this day in 1924, Walter Chrysler introduced the first vehicle to wear a Chrysler badge, the Maxwell Chrysler Six. This Crown Imperial Limousine illustrates just how quickly the brand took off after becoming its own marque the following year. This elegant limo is equipped with a 132 hp 324 cubic inch 8 cylinder connected to an innovative Fluid Drive transmission. Its luxurious features include privacy glass, passenger footrests, and built-in storage compartments. To buyers, comfort was far more important than price, and this was no cheap ride. The example in the collection is one of just 210 built by Chrysler in 1940.
