Chrysler introduced its Series 50 automobiles in 1927. They would be the entry-level models powered by 4-cylinder engines while the Series 60s and 70s had 6-cylinder power. Only slight changes occurred in 1928 and the designation became Series 52 for some reason. The seller’s project car is a 3-Window Coupe that was designed for transporting just two passengers (maybe three in a pinch) with a trunk instead of a rumble seat. It’s currently a roller, but the engine is ready for reinstallation (rebuilt?). This mini-Chrysler is in Polo, Illinois, and has been bid to $3,325 so far here on eBay.

The Chrysler organization was still a newcomer when this car was built, having been formed in 1925. The new Series 50/52 autos relied on a 170 cubic inch four-banger that produced 38 hp. Creature comforts were reserved more for the senior Chryslers which also included the Imperial for more affluent buyers. The seller says this 52 is mostly complete and rolls on its original wooden wheels which have nicely weathered the past 95 years.

This vehicle hasn’t likely seen daylight in some time, having been living in a warehouse while some attempts at restoration were started. The Chrysler comes with a variety of parts (spare and otherwise) that are stored in the trunk. The bumpers and fenders are also present. The body looks fine with primer red covering what we’re told was once brown paint. This looks like a nifty little project but only comes with a bill of sale as there is no title.
