1933 Chysler Series CO-6
This very clean, finely appointed ‘33’ Chrysler Series CO-6 made an excellent showing at the 2012 Salisbury House Concours d’Elegance in Des Moines, Iowa. I am very please to have a picture of this fine classic car in my photo archive of classic, antique cars.
By 1933 the Great Depression had a full grip on the luxury car market. Chrysler was able to sell only 151 cars in its top-of-the-line CL series. Understandably, for 1933, Chrysler's cars powered by six-cylinder engines proved to be their best-selling models. The CO Series accounted for over half of Chrysler's production with 17,865 vehicles produced. Body styles included a business coupe, sedan, 7-passenger sedan, convertible sedan, brougham, roadster coupe, and a convertible coupe. Pricing ranged from $750 - $950.
The L-head six-cylinder engine displaced 234 cubic-inches and offered 83 horsepower. In the front were large streamlined fenders that dipped lower in the front. There was a cowless hood with door type ventilators, 'suicide' rear hinged doors, slanting V-type windshields, sloping V-type radiators, single bar bumpers, and slanted door openings. They came standard with hydraulic brakes, Delco Remy ignition, automatic vacuum clutch, freewheeling, silent helical gear transmission, and a new coincidental starter/accelerator pedal. Six wire wheels were standard on the convertible sedans.
