1959 Chrysler Imperial

This 1959 Imperial Crown coupe is finished in red over silver leather and cloth upholstery and is powered by a 413ci V8 paired with a push-button three-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a Silvercrest stainless steel roof with a Landau cover, 15″ steel wheels with whitewall tires, quad headlights, power windows, power-adjustable swivel front seats, and a push-button AM radio. The current owner acquired the car in the early 2000s, and it was repainted during a subsequent body off refurbishment. This Imperial Silvercrest coupe is offered in Canada by the seller on behalf of the owner with awards and Alberta registration. The body was reportedly removed from the frame, repaired with lead filler, sanded, and repainted Ruby Red as part of a refurbishment completed under current ownership. Exterior components are also said to have been rechromed as part of the work. The car features a Silvercrest stainless-steel roof with a black Landau cover as well as dual side mirrors, quadruple headlamps, torpedo tail lamps, and chrome trim on the bumpers, side moldings, light surrounds, grille, and window trim. The 15″ steel wheels wear full covers along with Coker Classic whitewall tires. Factory equipment includes power steering, power-assisted drum brakes, and a trunk-mounted spare wheel. The cabin features front and rear bench seating reupholstered in silver leather with patterned cloth inserts and joined by matching door panels, a red dashboard, and tan carpets. Equipment includes Auto Pilot cruise control, power-adjustable swivel front seats, power windows, manual vent windows, push-button transmission controls, rubber floor mats up front, and a push-button AM radio. The seller notes that the passenger window needs realignment, and the air conditioning system does not blow cold. The seller states that the air conditioning, cruise control, and auto beam headlights were serviced under current ownership. The two-spoke steering wheel features a half horn ring and fronts a horizontal 120-mph speedometer along with gauges indicating coolant temperature, battery status, fuel level, and oil pressure. The five-digit odometer shows under 51k miles, approximately 500 of which have been added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown. The 413ci V8 is equipped with a single four-barrel carburetor and was factory rated at 340 horsepower. The oil was changed in preparation for the sale. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed push-button automatic transmission.
