The Chrysler Royal is a full-size car that was produced by Chrysler. The Royal name first appeared in 1933 as the model name for the CT series.

Prices ranged from US$895 for the business coupe to US$1085 for the convertible sedan.Overview
In 1937 the 6-cylinder powered C-16 series was renamed Royal, replacing the Chrysler Six. The Royal remained 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. A November 1936 advertisement lists the Royal as available in ten body types, starting at $715, with the four door sedan at US$815.
The Royal name was revived by Chrysler Australia in 1957 for an Australian produced model based on the 1953 Plymouth. The "royal" model name was also revived for the 1955 North American Dodge Royal.
The name was later applied as a trim level of the Chrysler Newport from 1970 to 1972; this would be its last use on any Chrysler branded vehicle. It was used on Dodge Ram pickup trucks and vans until the early 1990s.
