Overview of 1937 Chrysler Royal For Sale by Owner

The 1937 Chrysler Royal Series comes from an era when Chrysler leaned heavily on smooth straight-six power, Art Deco styling, and long-distance comfort, and this example keeps that character largely intact. Showing approximately 38,362 miles, it is powered by a 228ci L-head inline-six with a single-barrel carburetor and a 3-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Finished in black with what the current owner reports to be original paint, this Royal also benefits from a reupholstered red interior, replacement clutch and exhaust components, updated wiring, and added turn signals. The owner further reports a sandblasted frame, body-off refurbishment, approximately 95% tire tread remaining, and a rust-free body.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1937 Chrysler Royal Series is finished in black, with the current owner reporting that the paint is original. That gives the car a particularly interesting period presence, especially when paired with the Royal’s prewar proportions and traditional brightwork. The owner also reports that the frame has been sandblasted and that the body underwent a body-off refurbishment, while the tires are said to retain approximately 95% tread. Added turn signals bring a useful update to a car built well before they became commonplace. The interior of this 1937 Chrysler Royal Series is finished in red and has been reupholstered. The cabin retains the straightforward, formal character expected of a late-1930s Chrysler, while the updated upholstery gives it a fresher presentation. Aftermarket wiring has also been installed, helping modernize the electrical side without changing the car’s fundamentally vintage atmosphere.

Engine

Power comes from a 228ci naturally aspirated L-head inline-six breathing through a single-barrel carburetor and paired with a 3-speed manual transmission with overdrive. The drivetrain sends power to the rear wheels in traditional prewar fashion, while the replacement clutch and aftermarket exhaust system address two important mechanical areas for drivability and usability. With its simple flathead-six layout and overdrive-equipped manual transmission, this Royal offers the kind of relaxed, mechanical driving experience that defines well-kept prewar American touring cars.
