How can I identify exactly a 1938 Chrysler Imperial ?
(body, engine ...). I will see it very soon and I am
looking for any useful tips ...
ID numbers for the Imperial started with C-19 and are located on the right front door hinge pillar post, starting with C19-6734001 & ending C19-6742105. The eight cylinder motor engine numbers, are located on the left side of the block between cylinders one & two. Starting engine number C19-1001 and ending C19-9172. There was also a Custom Imperial series C-20 that year, but only 519 were built. The Imperial series was on a 125 in. wheelbase and the Custom on a 144 in. wheelbase. If you need other specific info I'll try and help, just let me know.
