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.

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. Today’s 1966 Imperial Crown Convertible comes from the second generation of the Chrysler Imperial series, and is a two-door Crown convertible. The car comes with all information as reported by the current owner and has received some refurbishment work as well. Currently domiciled in Naples, Florida, this over 50,000-mile machine is a fine classic to drive and cherish.
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?
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.
Chrysler’s famous 300 is a midsize luxury car that was made across two generations, between 2005 and 2023. The 300 aimed to capture some of that old-school muscle sedan goodness, albeit with modern styling, tech and comforts. Today, we have a first-generation 2006 Chrysler 300 SRT-8 for sale from Lansing, Michigan. This 63,888-mile car is actually more sophisticated than you might think, because it has some German DNA in it. In fact, the platform on which the first-generation Chrysler 300 sits upon is shared with, among other models, the Mercedes-Benz W211 E-Class. The car also features other Mercedes-Benz elements, such as the gearbox, some engines, and electronics. But this particular car’s engine is all-American, a stonking 6.1-liter V8. With two keys included in the sale, this rear-wheel drive beast is the perfect muscle car for those seeking an old-school driving experience, but not willing to give up too many modern amenities.
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.
One of General Motors’ most successful and popular A-body midsize cars, the Chevy Chevelle ran between 1963 and 1977, across three generations. It was offered in sedan, station wagon, coupe, convertible, hardtop and coupe utility forms. Back in the day, it was the default choice for many families who wanted clean, reliable and easy motoring, especially when you choose a station wagon. Now, some of these classics have become restomods, like this 1,242-mile 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Concours Restomod LS3 from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This spacious station wagon packs a 6.2-liter LS3 V8, an aftermarket sound system, a reupholstered leather interior and more goodies to make it sweeter on every drive. The car has reportedly been refreshed by Luce Customs.
The second generation or C2 Chevy Corvette came in 1963, bringing that famous split-screen window to the party. Sadly it was discontinued after just one year due to rearward visibility concerns. But, the C2 also gave the Corvette things like pop-up headlamps, only V8s under the hood, and the Stingray badge. Hence, finding and acquiring a C2 in great condition is a very smart decision, soulfully, as well as financially. Thankfully, we’ve done the finding part for you, and present this 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible for your consideration. This sub 43,000-mile survivor car from Riverhead, New York comes with a Turbo-Jet 427ci V8 and 4-speed transmission, original keys, the original owner’s manual and even a Protect-O-Plate included with the sale.
Behold, the famous Fox Body Mustang, also known as the third generation of Ford’s popular pony car. Introduced in 1979, the Fox Body would go on until 1993, and the successor would also use its platform. Now, Fox Bodies are becoming desirable by a segment of enthusiasts who recognize its distinctiveness and quirks too. And yes, the Fox came with a V8 engine option too. Case in point, this fine 1987 Ford Mustang GT Convertible from Cumming, Georgia. This car packs a scarcely believable 4,400 miles, making it a nice time capsule of sorts. It’s got a Marti report included with the sale, and rocks a white soft top. Oh, and of course, there’s a 302 under the hood.
