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 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.
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!
Would you believe that what you see here was first introduced as a sport luxury model? The Chrysler Saratoga was introduced in the late 1930s, and it was Chrysler's second most expensive model. Back then, Chrysler had a history of producing race car products that were entered in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. However, if you come across an early Chrysler Saratoga today, you’ll hardly believe that there is anything sporty about it. That is, until you get into an example like this 1940 Chrysler Saratoga. This is what they like to call a sleeper build. Preserving its beautiful classic look, this Restomod hides a potent powerhouse that can surprise anyone who decides to push the throttle. Its current owner claims that it has only less than 7,000 miles on its odometer. Located in Amarillo, Texas, this Saratoga is ready to become your next conversation starter.
Now here’s a very interesting American-Italian collaboration between two unlikely automakers from either side of the pond. In the Eighties, Chrysler decided to collaborate with Maserati – yes the ones known for their flamboyant Italian machines filled with soul and sportiness. The result of this collaboration was the Chrysler TC By Maserati, a two-door, two-seat grand tourer. Introduced to the public for the 1989 model year, just 7,300 units were made across two years. That makes the TC By Maserati quite a rare bird, and we’ve got one for sale right now. Here’s a 1989 Chrysler TC By Maserati with just 27,353 miles on the clock, waiting for a new owner in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. If you want to own something American and European, distinctive, and above all, rare, this car is a formidable candidate for your attention.
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.
Triumph is a brand that not many in the United States have heard of, at least associated with cars. That’s because Triumph made not only four-wheelers, but two-wheelers as well. Yes, Triumph started off with bicycles and ventured into motorcycles. However, in the four-wheeled space, Triumph is best known for their classic British roadsters. Sadly, Triumph went defunct in 1984. The Stag was one of their signature models, produced between 1970 and 1977. Sporting Italian styling, over 25,000 were made across this seven-year production run, and the Stag was targeting the luxury sports car segment. Today’s 1972 Triumph Stag is a little different because it’s got an engine swap that give it more power than stock. Up for sale in Libertyville, Illinois, this could be your way to experience the British roadster life.
