I believe that the image is to demonstrate the strength of the “new” all steel roof on Plymouth/ Dodge cars.. the ” Turret top” feature. Doesn’t have anything to do with Chris Craft, perse. It would be interesting to learn how Chrysler or perhaps a Chrysler dealer happened to pick a Chris Craft for the stunt.

1935 Hudson Terraplane. Joe is probably right. Roll over protection was was a big concern in those days.

 

A "Boat House Repair" is one that done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.

Frank Kirsch told me as a die designer for a body supplier he burned a lot of midnight oil figuring out how to stamp roof panel, I think it had to do with the compound curves at all four corners. It finally came to him and he said it must have been a pretty good ideaa as theyey did it
the same in the 1980s when I met
him, He later started his own company.He invented and patented a number of his ideas.
Why has no one mentioned the 2
possibly 3 women in the photo?

All mention Chrysler edited out
as car is a not a Mopar.
Are there 2 or 3 women in the photo?

Tubs, got it right … a 1935 Hudson. The concept is still valid, I suspect… proof of the “all steel body” . Now just to ensure historical accuracy… I consulted with a fellow that knows about such things. The term “turret top’ referencing the all-steel body was General Motors for the 1936- 37 model years. Chrysler was later with the all-steel bodies. And if you are wondering about ” all-steel” , by the mid 30’s U.S. automobile body structures had dispensed with wood structural members, however roofs were still wood framed fabric.
