| THIS MASSIVE TOP-OF-THE-LINE CHRYSLER PRODUCT WEIGHS 4990 POUNDS AND I BET HALF OF THAT WEIGHT IS THE REAR BUMPER! IMPERIALS THIS YEAR WERE LITTLE CHANGED. THE GRILLE NOW HAD MESH RECTANGLES AND THE FAKE SPARE TIRE BULGE WAS TEMPERED AND REDUCED IN SIZE BUT STILL ON A 129 INCH WHEELBASE. LUXURIOUS AND PLUSH CABIN COULD STILL BE EXPECTED FROM THIS COMPETITOR OF CADILLAC AND LINCOLN. BRAND NEW THIS YEAR WAS THE 440 CID, 350 HP ENGINE. THIS CROWN COST AROUND $5733 AT THE DEALER. THIS EXAMPLE IS IN PRETTY GOOD CONDITION. THE LEATHER SEATING IS NOT CRACKED AND NOT DETERIORATING AND THE DASH IS NOT CRACKED. UPHOSTERY ON THE DOORS ARE LIKE NEW AS WELL AS THE HEADLINER. HOWEVER, THAT HEAVY REAR BUMPER NEEDS A RE-CHROMING. ALL-IN-ALL, A WONDERFUL EXAMPLE OF AN IMPERIAL THAT HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME. AN ORIGINAL SURVIVOR. THANKS SO MUCH FOR VIEWING THIS CROWN IMPERIAL. |
