1933 Chrysler Imperial CL Dual-Windshield Phaeton

Considered one of the most elegant cars of the period, this 1933 Chrysler CL Imperial Dual Windshield Phaeton is also one of the most rare. Chrysler delivered a mere 151 CL Imperial chassis in 1933, and this car is one of only 36 originally outfitted with LeBaron's spectacular Dual Windshield Phaeton body — today fewer than 20 authentic survivors are known. Its first owner was Lou Fageol, one of the most colorful and legendary figures in motorsport on land and water, who built and piloted some of the fastest speedboats of his era.

Subsequent owners included Hollywood film actor Turhan Bey and legendary northern California collector Jack Passey. Millionaire eccentric Laurence 'Baron' Dorcey, grandson of Great Northern Railroad magnate James J. Hill, owned the car three separate times over 50 years.

The Grand Rapids Classics Auto Museum became the owner in the fall of 2019. Restored between 1985 and 1987 by Harold Orchard, a well-known craftsman in southern California, and refinished in brilliant scarlet. Featured in multiple books and publications including For the Love of Old Cars by Ken Albert.
