From its first appearance in 1926, the Imperial nameplate for Chrysler signified the top-of-the-range model in the automaker's line-up. In fact, the Imperial became a separate brand in 1955, where it remained until 1983. A short resurrection of the tag was seen in 1990 for just three years, and a concept was mooted in 2006 but never came to fruition. It's no surprise, then, that many don't know about the Chrysler Imperial. Why don't you join a relatively exclusive club and buy this 1965 Chrysler Imperial LeBaron Sedan from us?

This 1965 Chrysler Imperial LeBaron Sedan sports a sort of white paint color that covers its lower quarters, while its upper quarters and roof are in white as well. Rolling on a set of white-striped tires with tucked wire wheels, it's sure got plenty of old school presence. The Imperial badge takes center stage at the rear with the spare tire molding ending the lines of the trunk. Further, badging tells us that this is a LeBaron trim level. Quad headlamps, slimline tail lamps, and plenty of chrome abound in this car if its nearly 129 inches of length isn't enough to make a statement. Inside, you'll find a spacious cabin with two blue cloth bench seats and a wood-trimmed dash. A stylish two-spoke steering wheel frames a linear speedometer with linear auxiliary gauges directly beneath. Vintage-style switches operate functions such as wipers, lights, and power-adjustable mirrors. There's also a ventilation system with heater and a dash-integrated push-button radio. The windows are also power-operated. The trunk could use some work but is amply spacious to accommodate the full-sized spare wheel and still swallow a weekend trip's worth of luggage.
This 1965 Chrysler Imperial Sedan packs a formidable 413ci (6.8L) Wedge V8 that produced 360hp and 495lb-ft when new. That's more than enough for sprightly performance, even when you consider the relatively relaxed nature of the 3-speed Torqueflite automatic transmission that this car is equipped with. The current owner reports a recent oil change has been performed, so you can rest assured that this big Chrysler will continue running smoothly and peacefully.

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.
With a name such as Imperial, it must be a top-level car, correct? Absolutely correct, as the Imperial was Chrysler's highest offering for much of its existence. This existence can be traced back to 1926, sporadically appearing until 1993. Meanwhile, the Imperial became a stand-alone sub-brand of Chrysler between 1955 and 1983, which is the time when this 1965 Chrysler Imperial LeBaron Sedan was born in Detroit. This reportedly garage-kept vehicle appears in mostly good condition, and is said to have received a recent oil change. If you choose to buy it, you'll get an excellent classic car that you can also use as a learning tool since there are some areas that need minor attention. It could even be a project to undertake with your children!
The Imperial nameplate was used by Chrysler over nearly seven decades to denote their top-of-the-line offering. Competing in the full-size luxury car segment, there have been many iterations of the Imperial, right up until 1993, when the nameplate was retired. Between 1955 and 1983, Imperial was indeed spun off as a separate sub-brand of Chrysler. A revival was mooted in 2006 but never materialized as a production variant. You rarely see an Imperial come up for sale, which is why you should act fast and grab this 1967 Chrysler Imperial Crown if it strikes your fancy. This car is said to have received a recent tune-up to keep it running like clockwork.
The Chrysler Saratoga, with its name inspired by the famed Saratoga Springs, has been a recurring presence in Chrysler's lineup since its introduction in 1949. This 1951 model, hailing from the nameplate's third iteration, showcases the timeless appeal of the Saratoga as either a sedan or coupe. The featured sedan variant, boasting just under 51,000 miles, has benefited from numerous new parts, ensuring its classic charm is matched by reliable performance.

A first-generation Chevy Corvette is a fantastic car to own and drive. It’s a piece of American automotive history, after all. Produced between 1953 and 1962, over 69,000 were made. It was also the only Corvette era to come with a six-cylinder engine choice, something that Chevy quickly realized didn’t suit a flagship sports car. Thankfully, all Corvettes thereafter have packed a V8. Many people nowadays want an original first-gen Corvette, but there are some who love restomods. If that sounds familiar, have we got the car for you! Say Howdy to this Pennsylvania-based 1960 Chevrolet Corvette LS3 Restomod that’s got just 1,000 miles after its comprehensive makeover. There’s a lot to learn about this car, so let us give you the highlights, but don’t forget to shoot us a DM or give us an old-fashioned phone call if you’re interested.
If there’s one category of vehicle we’d love to see return in 2025, it would be the “Personal Luxury Car.” These individualized creations focused on being the ultimate in luxury coupes, with comfort being one of the key factors for individuals who like to drive alone. The market was dominated by cars like the Ford Thunderbird, but the upmarket division of the Ford group had their own take on it too, and that came in the form of the Lincoln Mark IV. Our featured 1983 Lincoln Mark IV looks sinister in its deep black paint job with a matching black leather interior and a smoother 5.0-liter V8 engine. The car has 58,000 reported miles on the odometer and looks to be a well-preserved example that will likely appreciate in value in years to come.
Ford has the Mustang, and Chevrolet had the Camaro. Back in the ’60s, it was a winning duo for consumers, with the two frontrunners in the pony car race battling on both backroads and race tracks. Our featured 1968 Chevrolet Camaro is a fine specimen just waiting to go to a new home. It features a striking blue exterior, a well-kept black interior, and a 383ci stroker V8 under the hood. This immaculate classic has reportedly been subject to a recent motor and transmission install, which means it should offer a trouble-free ownership experience to whoever is lucky enough to take possession next.
