Topic: Ubb137 Chrysler Imperial Speedster 1927

[nicanary]

It's named on several sites as a 1927 Chrysler Imperial Speedster. It's Austrian-owned, and that's about all I can tell you. It has been pictured on a Austrian retrospective event, but the captions say nothing about the history or specification of the car. My guess is that it's a 1927 Chrysler Imperial engine fitted into a specially-built lightweight chassis, possibly of more recent date.

(From the start, I couldn't understand how the car was so small - American sports cars of that era were still quite big, like the Stutz and Chrysler cars that raced at Le Mans. I can't believe that this puzzle car was built by the factory.)

PS Thank you Woodinsight for your gracious deference. And Mekubb for allowing me to proceed. I only wish I could have told you more.

It does have a ROTOR logo prominently on its grille. Does anybody know the background? Could it be the chassis builder?

Yes that's the car, a point for you. I am wondering also if this is a factory car or that the body was fitted later, couldn't find any info as well. May be the Rotor badge might enlighten this as Wendax suggested.
