To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' Hershey event, 8 - 9 October 2025. rnOffered Without Reserve | $40,000 - $50,000 USD rnrnOne of 642 built, and only about a dozen known survivorsrnWell-equipped, including heater and fog lampsrnMultiple award-winning older restorationrn rnrnIn 1935, Chrysler began replacing its controversial Airflow models with the more conventional Airstream, designed by Raymond Dietrich. The Airstream's elegant looks proved popular and carried through to 1938 across a range of models and body styles with semi-custom coachwork provided by Murray. By 1938, Chrysler's sales had rebounded sufficiently to bring them to a position as one of the bestselling brands in America, and a good bit of this success can be attributed to the Airstream's successor, the entry-level C-16 Six, otherwise known as the Royal. Most Royal models were based on the shortened 116-inch wheelbase, with power derived from a new 93-horsepower 228-cubic-inch L-head straight-six, mated to a reliable three-speed manual with overdrive.rnrnThe 1937 Royal convertible sedan offered here was one of just 642 produced that year, of which only about a dozen remain in existence. Although this history was previously mistakenly attributed to another example, it is believed to have been the subject of an article in the June 1987 issue of Special Interest Autos, which describes it being found in an Ellenburg Depot, New York, barn by Fred Strass of Hackettstown, New Jersey. Mr. Strass spent five years painstakingly restoring the car, seeking out original and new old-stock parts, while reproducing others with his own hands, such as the now-irreplaceable rubber running board covers and wooden windshield bow.rnrnFollowing its restoration, the Royal received both Antique Automobile Club of America Junior and Senior First Prizes, according to the article, a copy of which is on file. Ultimately, Mr. Strass' efforts would bring a National First Prize in 1979, as indicated by the medallion still mounted to the radiator grille. He later sold the car to Peter Brophy, in whose ownership it continued to win first prizes and best-in-show awards, the article noted. rnrnThe car would later be owned by Lester T. Sheely of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, in whose hands it won an AACA National Senior First Prize in 1993, then Preservation awards in 1994 and 1996.rnrnAcquired for the Sonny Schwartz Suzy Q Collection in September 2015, the Chrysler continues to exhibit the award-winning restoration in dark green over Cognac leather upholstery, which has mellowed pleasantly, with signs of patina especially in the engine bay and interior. Notably, the car features the optional dashboard-mounted radio and heater.rnrnWith so few produced and far fewer known to exist, this Chrysler Royal convertible sedan will remain a fine choice for any collector seeking an unusual, distinctive, and truly scarce convertible rarity that is sure to stand out on any tour. rnTo view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM Sotheby's website.
