I need some help, one of you old tyme Chrysler fans... My daddy is 92 now, and he recalls a 1935 Chrysler, he says it was a BIG sedan, and convertible, was the most powerful car on the road those days, ???? and it was called "The Banker Special".........? I DO know it existed, because I recall a picture in a book or mag. MANY years ago, and had a picture of it, racing, looks like may have been at Indy, or out at bonneville, or something...But I DO remember the title caption, and DID say "Banker Special" CAN ANYONE HELP ME OUT WITH THIS ! ! ! I have checked all over, and cannot raise a thing...I also know that many years ago, one of the BIG diecast companies made a model die-cast of this mystery car ! ! ! ! (Nice reward, for a silver diecast of this car ! ! ! ) Just leave me message...Thanx ! ! ! !
I seem to remember the same thing. I have looked through my Petersen's Complete Book of Plymouth Dodge Chrysler book from 1973 and can't find it, but it has to be in something that I have. There is a photo of a post-war Chrysler at Bonneville, but it doesn't say anything about "Banker's Special. I do remember articles referring to the Desoto and the 300 letter series as the Banker's Special. But both of those were from the 50's. I didn't see anything from the 30's other than the Airflow that was strikingly different. Although there is the Thunderbolt that was a retractable hardtop and Hideaway headlights that looked a bit like a Nash. I'll keep looking though.
