Chassis Number: 7900825
This 1932 Chrysler Imperial CH cabriolet not only carries all the swagger and allure of its time, but it is also an example of unrivaled provenance and matching body, chassis and engine numbers, as well as the legacy of being Bohman & Schwartz’s first joint build. Their name is not merely a brand that drives up a car’s value, it’s historically important and carries with it substantial worth for myriad reasons. Their work essentially bridges the gap between the grand carrosserie traditions of Europe and America’s custom hot-rod mania that would set the Salts of Bonneville ablaze. But Bohman & Schwartz cars, like this one, are all handmade originals without replicate. This level of world-class artistry was rare on our shores back in the 1930s and it is even more so today. The adage, “They don’t build them like they used to,” could have been coined for this car. A genuine concours-proven vestige of American automobile history, this Bohman & Schwartz first is undoubtedly at the pinnacle of Chrysler Imperials in existence, as well as all one-off Classics from the era. It is as timeless today as the moment they crafted it to launch their now-illustrious careers.
