History of this Vehicle

 

At about age one week I was brought home by my parents in the 1928 Chrysler 72 which I am now  rebuilding. In those days it carried its original sedan body. Now it is on its way towards completion as a vanden plas style sports tourer in the spirit of the Chrysler 72 roadsters which followed the 4.5 litre Bentley of Barnato and Rubin(1st) and the 4.8 litre Stutz(2nd) into 3rd and 4th places at Le Mans in 1928.
