Matrix 1933 Chrysler CL Imperial Custom LeBaron Phaeton
A while back I suggested this might make a good candidate for MOY for 2016, at least in the US Classic car category:

Chassis 7803657 may be the last of the CL Imperials. The dual rear spares, low-mounted lights, and rear fender skirts really set this car apart. The Moonglow Poly paint must have been one of the earliest metallics, which must also have turned heads back in the day. This car won Best of Show at Hilton Head in 2015 - so I'm guessing our moderator saw it there.

Nice interior detail, including even the crank for the phaeton's second windscreen. Just a great looking car!
