Presentation: “Chrysler’s Chrysler: History, Discovery and Restoration”, Malverne, NY
The saga of "Chrysler's Chrysler" will be highlighted at the Thursday, April 3, 2014 Meeting of Greater New York AACA at the American Legion Hall, 240 Franklin Avenue in Malverne.
The meeting will begin at 8:00 pm. I will present the history of this "one of one" 1937 Chrysler Imperial C-15 Town Car that was custom built by LeBaron for Mrs. Walter P. Chrysler. Rare photos documenting the 75-year history of this car will be shown including images and films taken at the LeBaron factory, the Long Island Automotive Museum and the Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum. I will also discuss how the car was discovered, acquired, restored and current plans.
Enjoy,
Howard Kroplick

Comments
Now I’m really interested in coming to the presentation tomorrow, more than I was before, just to hear more about the car. See ya
Great job. The two best parts was when you said you didn’t know how to drive a stick shift, when you bought the Shelby, that was really a classic one. I learned before I got my license, on my parents 1948 Plymouth Deluxe, when I was able to reach the pedals, at about 8 or 9 years old, even before that, sitting in my dad’s lap shifting, the column shift. The second best was, how you bid for the Chrysler, how close was that not to getting it? Pure luck I’d say and much to your surprise.
You’ve got a lot on your plate but I’d enjoy a restoraton’s status update.
