A 1963 Chrysler Imperial Crown convertible (LHD) 6700cc.
The Chrysler Imperial, introduced in 1926, was the company's top of the range vehicle for much of its history. Models were produced with the Chrysler name until 1954 and again from 1990 to 1993 and the company tried to position the cars as a prestige marque. Chrysler advised state licensing bureaus that, beginning in 1955, the Imperial was to be registered as a separate make. It was an attempt to compete directly with GM's Cadillac and Ford's Lincoln distinct luxury-focused marques rather than GM's traditional and lower-priced brands, Buick and Oldsmobile. This car is stunning, originally bought in San Hose California where it spent all its American life before coming to the UK one of 531 originally made, a sibling of the car driven by Doris Day in the film "Move over darling".
This series of cars are one of the last full chassis models with a very substantial frame to accommodate its convertible body. Everything on this car is powered by either electrics or hydraulics, the large 413 cubic inch (6. 7 litre) V8 engine and 3 speed automatic transmission provide a smooth and comfortable drive. Originally painted in Grey and upholstered in Black, our vendor chose to completely strip the car of its paint and interior which had suffered from the harsh sunshine of California and has repainted it in Alabaster White with Red Leather interior along with a new matching quality hood. We are advised that the car is in all round outstanding condition. More images on our website (LSKAUCTIONCENTRE. CO.
