1963 Chrysler Imperial Crown Convertible

Imperial was the Chrysler Corporation’s luxury automobile brand from 1955 to 1975, and again from 1981 to 1983.

The Imperial name had been used since 1926, as a Chrysler luxury model, the Chrysler Imperial. However, in 1955, the company spun off Imperial into its own make and division to better compete with its North American rivals, Lincoln and Cadillac. Imperial would see new or modified body styles introduced every two to three years, all with V8 engines and automatic transmissions, as well as technologies that would filter down to Chrysler Corporation’s other models.

This 1963 Chrysler Imperial Crown Convertible is one of the rarest products of Chrysler’s ongoing battle with Cadillac for American ultra-luxury supremacy. These cars were very expensive when new and a mere 531 were produced total. This car is arguably one of the most spectacular Crown Imperial Convertible in existence. It has been the recipient of a complete, ground-up, “every nut and bolt” restoration to the highest standards of accuracy, finish, and mechanical excellence.

The 413ci V8 is equipped with a single four-barrel carburetor and was factory rated at 340 horsepower.

This luxurious cruiser is in terrific condition! This 1963 Imperial Crown convertible, one of 531 built, is, except for the exclusive long-wheelbase limousine, the rarest of the breed.
