This Chrysler Imperial got away, but there are more like it here.

1960 Imperial Crown Convertible

Sold for $32,666 on 12/15/22

This 1960 Imperial Crown convertible was produced at Chrysler’s Warren Avenue facility in Dearborn, Michigan, and was acquired in 2017 by the current owner. Power is from a 413ci V8 paired with a TorqueFlite automatic transmission, and the car is finished in red with a matching interior. Equipment includes power windows and door locks, a push-button radio, and power steering. The body was repainted under prior ownership, while work since the owner’s acquisition has included an interior refresh and oil changes. This Imperial convertible is now offered by the seller on behalf of the current owner with an owner’s manual and a clean Kentucky title in the owner’s name.

This car was repainted under prior ownership according to the seller, and it is equipped with a power-operated white convertible top. Additional features include fender-mounted side mirrors, tail fins, and a stylized spare-tire bump incorporated into the trunk lid. Color variations are noted on portions of the finish and shown further in the gallery below.

Chrome 15″ wire-spoke wheels wear 225/75 Coker Classic wide-whitewall tires. A full-size spare is stored in the trunk, and standard equipment includes power steering and power-assisted drum brakes.

The cabin has been reupholstered in red vinyl with a color-coordinated dashboard and door panels as well as black carpets. Amenities include power windows and door locks, vent windows, and a push-button AM radio.

The instrument cluster houses a 120-mph speedometer along with a combination gauge providing readings for engine temperature, fuel level, oil pressure, and battery charge. The push–button transmission controls and heater controls are housed on either side of the instruments. The five-digit odometer indicates 14k miles and has rolled over according to the seller. Total mileage is unknown.

The 413ci V8 is paired with a three-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission and was factory rated at 350 horsepower. An oil change was completed in 2022.

Additional photos showing the suspension, chassis, and driveline, as well as corrosion on portions of the mechanicals are presented in the gallery below.
