Overview of 1959 Chrysler Imperial LeBaron Southampton For Sale by Owner

The automotive brand Imperial was born back in 1926 as Chrysler’s luxury model lineup. Soon after, the company made the decision to split off Imperial into its own brand and division to better compete with its American rivals, Lincoln and Cadillac. With the dawn of its second generation, the Imperial received its own platform, thus cutting all reliance on the Chrysler division. This was during the ‘50s, the car culture was flourishing, and cars were art pieces on wheels, especially the luxury ones. This glamorous example of the 1959 Imperial LeBaron Southampton is an exclusive 1 of 622 ever made. This is thanks to the addition of three trim levels in the second generation, with the LeBaron being the highest-spec model.

Exterior and Interior

No matter which angle you choose to look at this 1959 Imperial LeBaron Southampton, it is dripping with extravagant design elements. Wearing an elegant dark blue coat, this luxury sedan is bejeweled with chrome fittings and emblems. The front of the car is decked with a chrome bumper that houses fog lights, a chrome grille, and quad headlights. Up top is a Silvercrest stainless steel roof with a Landau cover that is followed by a FliteSweep deck lid. A chrome side trim runs over the rear fender skirt while the iconic rear fins hold the dramatic bullet taillights. The car rolls on polished 15” wheels wrapped in Multi-Mile Matrix white-stripe tires. The interior of this 1959 Imperial LeBaron Southampton continues its color theme with a blue cabin that can seat four adults. The steering wheel is a classic example of ’50 design and behind it is the dash push-button PowerFlite transmission controls. Both front and rear features dual air conditioning and plush carpeting.

Engine

What propels this 1959 Imperial LeBaron Southampton is a 413ci Wedge V8 engine that is factory rated at 340 horsepower. Mated to a 3-speed Wedge Torqueflight transmission, it sends power via a Sure Grip 2.93 to 1 Ratio differential. The car is cushioned on top of a "Torsion-Aire" suspension, which is an indirect-acting, torsion-bar front suspension system that reduces unsprung weight while shifting the car's center of gravity downward and rearward.
