This Chrysler Imperial got away, but there are more like it here.
This 1966 Imperial Crown convertible was delivered new to BC Hawk Company in Bellevue, Washington, and was acquired by its current owner nearly 50 years ago. The car is finished in white over blue leather, and power is provided by a 440ci V8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission. Features include a white vinyl convertible top, a four-barrel carburetor, power-assisted steering and brakes, power widows and vent wings, bucket seats, and walnut interior trim. The transmission was rebuilt in November 2021. This Imperial convertible is offered at no reserve by the seller on behalf of its current owner in Arizona with several service records, a window sticker, and a clean Washington State title in the owner’s name.
The car was finished in Persian White from the factory, and is said to have been repainted in the 1960s. Features include a wrap-around windshield as well as a white vinyl convertible top with hard and soft parade boots.
Steel 15″ wheels with Imperial turbine-style covers wear Cooper Trendsetter whitewall tires. The car is equipped with power-assisted steering and four-wheel drum brakes. The seller notes that the car requires an alignment and the steering feels loose.
The interior is trimmed in blue leather with matching carpets and door panels. Additional features include power windows and locks, folding armrests for the front and rear occupants, and walnut trim. The right power-operated wing window does not work.
The two-spoke steering wheel frames a horizontal 120-mph speedometer with a five-digit odometer showing 50k miles, approximately 15k of which have been added under current ownership.
The 440ci V8 was factory rated at 350 horsepower and 480 ft-lb of torque, and is mated to a TorqueFlite three-speed automatic transmission that was rebuilt in November 2021.
