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.
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.
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.

Imperial was a sub-brand of Chrysler that existed between 1955 and 1983. It was created as a luxury arm of Chrysler, offering a series of poshly-equipped full-size luxury cars that were based on Chrysler platforms.

Imperial is a brand that many people today won’t remember, or know about at all. So let us give you a quick history lesson. In 1926, Chrysler Corporation started using the Imperial tag to denote the top-tier trim level of their finest automobiles. This remained the status quo until 1955, when Imperial was spun off as a separate brand under the Chrysler Corporation. It represented the brand’s luxury offerings, and gave us cars like this 1966 Imperial Crown Classic. According to classic car experts on the For C Bodies Only forum, approximately 10% of classic cars survive past a certain age This estimate includes vehicles that might only be useful as parts cars. Applying this 10% survival rate to the 1966 Imperial Crown convertibles would suggest approximately 51 surviving vehicles (10% of 514). This car is a second-generation example with 51,000 miles on the clock and it currently resides in Naples, Florida. Why not buy it as a tasteful classic car as well as a smart future investment?
