Mechanical condition
The restoration work has been executed very finely, with much of the wooden frame being new and a high standard of sheet metal replacement. Subsequently, the car was modified in several aspects. Up front, it has a Ford Mustang front axle, and a similar one from a Volvo 740 at the rear. An air suspension system with Firestone airbags, measuring 2600 at the rear and 2500 at the front, was installed. The car features disc brakes all around, with a master cylinder from a Nissan Micra. Recently, a front wheel bearing was replaced, and the air suspension compressor underwent maintenance with new water separators. The car runs on a modern 12V electrical system. Powering it is a Chevrolet LS-1 Corvette engine and an automatic transmission, both from the 2002 model year. All mechanical and pneumatic components are in excellent condition. The car has passed inspection and received approval for the last time. However, it is not registered with the engine and air suspension.

Facts about the model
Gläser was a coachbuilder in Dresden and was founded by Carl-Heinrich Gläser in 1864. Initially, they made interiors for carriages and later whole carriages. In 1905, they began producing bodies for automobiles. They crafted cabriolet bodies for brands like Horch, Mercedes, Wanderer, and more. They didn't always build entire cars on-site; instead, they supplied body parts to the factories that assembled the cars. This includes the Chevrolet Imperial phaetons as well. According to some sources, a total of 123 of these carriages were made in 1935-36, and today only a handful remain preserved.
