The Imperial nameplate was used by Chrysler over nearly seven decades to denote their top-of-the-line offering. Competing in the full-size luxury car segment, there have been many iterations of the Imperial, right up until 1993, when the nameplate was retired. Between 1955 and 1983, Imperial was indeed spun off as a separate sub-brand of Chrysler. A revival was mooted in 2006 but never materialized as a production variant. You rarely see an Imperial come up for sale, which is why you should act fast and grab this 1967 Chrysler Imperial Crown if it strikes your fancy. This car is said to have received a recent tune-up to keep it running like clockwork.
This 1967 Chrysler Imperial Crown showcases its imposing four-door body in a fetching gold paint job. Capped off at the nose and tail by chrome bumpers, the car stretches nearly 225 inches in length. Then, you've got all the requisite Sixties luxury features, including plenty of chrome details, whitewall tires, rear-wheel slats, hubcaps that reminisce of wire wheels, and even a hood ornament. Opening a door to access the interior reveals that the doors are frameless units, another touch of luxury and class. Inside, this 1967 Chrysler Imperial Crown presents a spacious and reportedly original interior. Sporting a gold theme, the interior sees plush leather seats with front and rear armrests, power windows, air conditioning, and a push-button radio with a separate Sanyo cassette tape player. There's also plenty of wood trim wherever you look, which is synonymous with luxury car interiors. Behind the passenger cabin lies a spacious trunk, thanks to the car's long length, that can accommodate enough luggage for many days of touring.
This lengthy 1967 Chrysler Imperial Crown is powered by a fittingly gargantuan 440ci (7.2L) V8. Easily putting out over 300hp when new, the drive goes to the rear wheels via a 3-speed Chrysler TorqueFlite automatic transmission. The current owner tells us that the car has received new brakes, as well as new spark plugs. The steering and braking systems are power-assisted, as you'd expect with a car of this size and weight.
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!

The Catalina nameplate in Pontiac nomenclature initially represented a top-level trim for the existing Chieftain Eight and DeLuxe Eight models. However, as we’ve seen many times before with American manufacturers, trim levels have been spun off as separate models. For the Catalina, this happened in 1959, offered as a two-door coupe, convertible, four-door sedan and station wagon. Today, the Catalina may not be at the top of every classic car collector’s list because not everyone remembers it, but it’s definitely an appealing choice for someone who wants to diverge from the crowd. This particular 1964 Pontiac Catalina is a four-door sedan hailing from Ballston Spa, New York, and comes with the original spare tire plus original bill of sale and even the original manual. Having traveled 77,421 miles so far, it’s ready for a new owner who will look after it and cherish it as it deserves. If that’s you, get in touch with us ASAP.

Today, we’ve got a 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible from Hudson, Florida for your consideration. This car has got some new parts on it, making it a fine driving classic and a car that can be used on a regular basis too. Because let’s face it, why would you buy a classic Corvette if you don’t want to take it out on the roads?
