VERY RARE 1934 CHRYSLER CB CONVERTIBLE SEDAN (4 door Convertible Phaeton) Hello collectors, Here we have a EXTREMELY RARE one of three known to exist (only 450 of model CB were made) This was Chrysler's most expensive convertible thus few were sold, also it was the "prototype" of the Airstream body style and 1934 was the first year of the new Airflow series. It was Chrysler's Top-of-the-line convertible. All Chryslers were relatively expensive cars and this was their best convertible. Why do you want this car: because it is an Extremely rare ORIGINAL CALIFORNIA CAR with original 1960 TITLE (one caring owner for over 50 years, since at least 1960, now he is 95 yrs old) Thisa rare Chrysler is 80 years old and in superb/solid condition overall, Excellent body & Excellent mechnaical; older paint but presentable overall. The car is running well and is mechanically restored. Engine was rebuilt by previous owner (1 loving owner for past 50+ years!)when we bought it we sent it to our family mechanic for a full going over, we spent about $10,000 doing whatever he found to be needing improvement including engine adjustments & accessories, rebuild transmission, new exhaust system, brakes and so many other parts. It has Chrysler's VERY LARGE 6cyl. engine The seats and door panels are deep red pleated & stitched vinyl from the 1960's, still presentable, it needs one rear doorpanel copied from the other and need s a new canvas top. Otherwise THIS CAR IS COMPLETE, everything is there including the original humpback trunk, front & rear carpet,etc! Nice wide whitewall tires. OK old paint with some shine, we know that it will be a knock-out in mirror finish black or Gunmetal with silver accents. We chose this car because it is a VERY VERY RARE model you can NOT find a convertible like this around; production was 450 made, with only 3 known to be left! ALL CONVERTIBLE SEDANS are quite rare to begin with, and those restored examples that you see for sale these days are selling for between $75,000-$100,000+up. And this car will be in that range if not more after new paint and interior. You will never find a more solid clean California original.This is a fine investment car, prices have certainly been growing for special cars and this is a museum car with it's extreme rarity, convertibles are always valuable,and it is a top-of-the-line luxury car for 1934! Mileage is low, I put 50,000 but I will double check, it may be lower than that or around there. It will make someone a very fine show car or for a car museum. Includes owners manual and shop manual as well as some other paper items. boxes of extra parts. I am parting with my collection and have priced it to be a fine buy, I have 100% positive feedback and 100% sales, I have almost never had to relist a car from my collection over the 12 years on ebay because I have chosen fine cars and bought them carefully, thus I can afford to make it a good buy for the next owner as well! I love these cars so I make many improvements when I get a new beauty! As always, I hereby sell this 1934 CHRYSLER CONVERTIBLE AS IS, WHERE IS, I recommend that you send someone to inspect it in person if possible, It is an 80 year old car and thus will have flaws and imperfections. PLEASE make sure that you can arrange to have it picked up soon! If you need it delivered to PORT in NJ for overseas or within a few hundred miles I will likely have a fellow that I can recommend for quick delivery. Vehicle must be paid in FULL within 7 days, to assure serious buyers only it will be NON-REFUNDABLE Deposit within 24 hours via Paypal. Please be sure that you want the car and have all funds ready before bidding, I do not have time to spare that is why the car is thousands below market value, I need a quick sale with a quick pickup, It is an AMAZINGLY SOLID ORIGINAL CHRYSLER 4dr. CONVERTIBLE and an EXTREMELY RARE model at that. This car has all of the options for 1934! The dual side mounted tires make it a most elegant car, the rear mount rack & humpback trunk give it that 1930's look but you can keep the trunk rack off for a more sleek sporty convertible look. The front windshield and all window go down for that wide-open feel like a safari car! It is truly one of the most amazing cars and most rare. Mr.Harrah (The famous Harrah's car museum & Harrah's casino) himself tried to buy this car from the old man back in the 1970's because it was so rare and a beautiful design, but the old man would not sell. You will not get another chance, if you like rare cars for investment this is an opportunity. We have only found 3 to still exist (one in Switzerland and one at the Concours in California) I need to sell my cars now, so I will try to make it a great deal for the buyer. If you are sure that you want it then PLEASE DO the BUY IT NOW. THANK YOU!!! I think that this is my car in the magazine article back in the 1970's in California at a car show. One of the three known - This one in Switzerland. You may notice that mine HAS the beautiful ORIGINAL Dual Curved glass HEADLIGHTS this one does not! Car is complete, we have both horn trumpets. 2nd of the 3 known. This one at Concours in California.THANK YOU! On Jan-08-13 at 23:03:07 PST, seller added the following information:Hello, I received an email from someone who is apparently very knowledgable about this car. He knows where all (7) of the known remaining examples of the model CB are worldwide; I was only able to discover (3) over the past 3 years. This fellow even knew the name of the previous owner(50 years) of THIS 1934 Chrysler CB Convertible Sedan. So, it is apprently 1 of 7 existing examples (450 built). It can be a very valuable car ($100,000+) if WELL restored cosmetically. You can see on ebay some of the high quality restored top-of-the-line mid-1930's Convertible sedans offered at up to $175,000 or more. This Chrysler is structurally and mechanically in superb condition; it is a true California car with California title papers. Includes original owners manual, shop manual, and other manuals & ephemera. My Buy It Now price is very fair. Someone suggested to contact Jay Leno or some private collections like that his, or perhaps for some car museum collection. Having the dual sidemounted tires and a fold down front windshield are what sold me on it's looks, being a convertible and an even more rare 4 door convertible sedan made it an easy decision. When it is one of only seven existing examples and a beautifully designed car at that, then it is certainly worth considering. Thank you!
