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.
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.
Ford’s Torino is a midsize car that was sold between 1968 and 1976. It also dabbled in the muscle car segment, with a prime example being this first-generation 1969 Ford Torino Cobra Jet. For buyers who wanted something tamer, there was a host of straight six or V8 powerplants, but the ultimate was the massive 428ci Cobra Jet V8. That’s what this Thousand Palms-based car offers, along with a Marti Report and just 21,000 miles on the clock. In fact, 1969 Cobras like this one are quite desirable due to their rarity since many Torino’s didn’t survive due to a variety of reasons. Perhaps they weren’t quite seen as preservation candidates way back then. Now, a car like this one isn’t a common occurrence, so if you wish to own this Cobra, contact us right now.
Chevy’s second-generation or C2 Corvette has got to be the one with the shortest production run! It was made between 1963 and 1967, and just under 118,000 units were produced during this time. However, the C2 brought us many Corvette features such as pop-up headlamps, only V8s under the hood, and the Sting Ray badge. That’s why getting your hands on a C2 is a smart idea, albeit not one of the easiest. Happily, we have this 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible for sale from Newtown, Pennsylvania. The car has just 5,764 miles on it and looks fabulous!
Falcon is one of Ford’s best-known nameplates, because its been used for cars in North America, Australia and Argentina. Today’s 1964 Ford Falcon Sprint Convertible comes from the North American line-up and is a second-generation example. With a healthy 119,104 miles on the clock, this fine Ford hails from Chula Vista, California and is a nice, sunny drop-top too. It’s got a 289 paired with a four-speeder, and some fetching aftermarket wheels as well. And that’s before we get to its rather nautical color! In short, this is the perfect first classic for someone looking to try out the American cars of the Sixties, but if you need more convincing before calling us, read on.
