At the height of the Great Depression Chrysler relied on its range of entry-level cars to keep the company afloat. In 1933 sales of the flagship Imperial barely topped 150 units compared to more than 17000 of the six-cylinder CO series. Prices ranged from $750-$950 which was still considerably more than a contemporary Ford but within reach for the upper middle class.
