Overview of 1966 Chrysler Imperial Crown Convertible For Sale by Owner

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?

Exterior and Interior

This 1966 Imperial Crown Classic flaunts its imposing lines and curves in black coat of paint, and curiously comes with a contrasting white convertible top. Yes, it’s a drop-top so you can enjoy summer drives to the maximum. The top is power-operated as well, since this is a luxury car you don’t expect buyers to expend energy fiddling with manual tops. The car’s breathtaking design is complemented further by the Imperial covers that are worn by its 15-inch steel wheels. Then, you’ve also got quad headlamps, another indicator of luxury at the time, as well as plenty of chrome. The interior of this 1966 Imperial Crown Classic comes with power windows, power seats, an AM radio, and power door locks. It’s spacious enough to carry up to four adults on comfortable white sun resistant material-upholstered seats. Wood trim is also present in the cabin, another defining feature of automotive luxury. The car also possesses a sizable trunk, since buyers will no doubt use it for long trips, and hence need to take plenty of outfits.

Engine

A massive luxury car like this 1966 Imperial Crown Classic needs a potent engine up front. That’s why you’ll find a 440ci V8 nestled in the nose of this car, driving the rear wheels through a TorqueFlite three-speed automatic gearbox. The engine’s 350 horsepower is more than enough for decent performance in the city and on the highway. We’re also told that the suspension has been rebuilt, and the brakes have been converted to disc brake units.
