Back before the Imperial nameplate was a standalone brand, Chrysler offered the Imperial as their top-of-line selection. As with many top tier cars of the 30s, the Imperial had class and distinction, and this model is no exception.
1937 Chrysler Imperial C-15 Town Car by LeBaron - Matrix Models - #102 of 408
A couple of brief comments about this model. It has an honored place in my collection as it came to me from the Dick Browne Collection. This model was issued by NEO Scale Models as well, while the model is essentially the same, there are some differences, the main one being the Matrix version has an open driver's area, and the NEO version is closed. It's a very unique model, with loads of class and distinction.
Here's a couple of photos I borrowed from the conceptcars.com website. They perfectly depict this fabulous car in some natural beauty.

Nicely said!
This Chrysler is an outstanding car in 1/43 and 1:1. I'm pretty sure it's new to me; I don't recall ever seeing one before. Thanks John!

I have the Matrix version of this model I posted pictures before. This is one of my favorite models in my collection. The chrome trim is very sharp and the interior is simply stunning.
