This beautifully restored 1929 Chrysler Model 75 Dual Cowl Phaeton is said to have been originally delivered to Hollywood, California, and benefits from an extensive restoration conducted in the 2000s. A dazzling Mexican Turquoise and Caribbean Blue two-tone accentuates the Hayes body lines, further complemented by a handsome tan leather interior and matching tan soft top. Fitted with a bevy of luxury amenities, this Chrysler boasts dual side-mounted spares, dual Pilot-Ray road lamps, wind wings, a rear-mounted trunk, and chrome wire wheels mounted with wide whitewall tires. Its outstanding presentation was awarded by the AACA on numerous occasions including a National First Prize in 2000 and Grand National First Prize in 2001.

Beginning in 1928, Chrysler divided its model offerings by price and function, introducing the Plymouth brand to market four-cylinder models with all Chryslers now featuring six-cylinder engines. These were further divided into the 65, 75, and Imperial series, with sales literature for the lineup boasting that, "in each group, one standard alone prevails - quality." These new Chryslers were the first of their kind to employ an array of state-of-the-art features including built-in radiator shutters, hydraulic brakes, and Lovejoy shocks. Powering the range was an 80 horsepower, 248 cu-in six-cylinder engine - a technically advanced unit that motivated a stripped-down Model 75 Roadster to sixth place overall at the 1929 24 Hours of Le Mans.
As ever, a selection of striking hand-built bodies was tailored to meet every customer's desires. Among them was the magnificent Dual Cowl Phaeton presented here - an open four-passenger car offered by the renowned American coachbuilder Hayes Body Corporation. The supremely opulent exterior was adorned with vertical hood louvers, full crown fenders, a narrow profile radiator, and a retractable Haartz cloth top providing weather protection for the front and rear passengers. The defining feature of the Dual Cowl Phaeton was, as its name implies, a secondary cowl and windshield in-between the front and rear occupants.
