• 1932 Chrysler – Part Five – Gangbusters?

  

  Well, that was what it was touted as…and had I chosen to build the motorcycle, the G-Men, and the safe, it would have busted something. But this is a far more dignified Chrysler. I freely confess I have always liked Chrysler products, but with the exception of a Dodge and a Valiant in the 60’s…
