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?
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.
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.

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!
