The Chrysler Royal was a full-size car produced by Chrysler. The Royal name first appeared in 1933 as the model name for the CT series.[1] Features included sweeping fenders, suicide doors, dual windshield wipers, dual taillights and dual chrome trumpet horns.[1] Prices ranged from $895 for the business coupe to $1085 for the convertible sedan.[1]

Overview

In 1937 the 6-cylinder powered C-16 series was renamed the Royal, replacing the Chrysler Six.[2] The Royal stayed as the 6-cylinder entry-level model for Chrysler until it was dropped at the end of 1950 model year, making the Chrysler Windsor the entry-level car for the 1951 model year.[2]

The Chrysler Royal name was revived by Chrysler Australia in 1957 for an Australian produced model based on the 1953 Plymouth.[3] The "royal" model name was also revived for the 1955 North American Dodge Royal.

The name was also applied as a trim level of the Chrysler Newport from 1970-72[4] It would not be reused on any Chrysler branded vehicle. Instead, it was used on Dodge Ram pickup trucks and vans up until the early 1990s.[5]
