Luxury with flare and style, this rare example offered for sale
is right out of a private collection. 1st time advertised,
this original, un restored car is a matching #'s 392 4V hemi
engine, Torque Flite push button automatic. PS, PB, and
other options are PW, power door locks, power seat, am seeking radio. This
car has never been restored. Beautiful body line, orig.
chrome, bright work and pot metal. Trim pieces are
showing some age, but all pieces are present.
Structurally, the car is very solid, all orig. shaded glass.
The exterior has a driver quality finish, repainted only once
back in the late 70's. Proper alignment to doors, hood and
rear trunk lid. Massive tail fins gives this car a unique style.
These cars are rarely seen in original condition and that
haven't' rusted out. From the looks of it, this one spent
most of it's life in the garage. The chrome bumpers have
never been replaced and have a slight haze to them. Some
areas of the exterior pot metal are pitted and in need of
restoration. We like to call it "patina." The
paint is nice, not perfect and has that slightly aged look.
The under carriage has factory under coating, clean underside
with no signs of floor repair. The trunk pan area is all orig.,
although we did notice 1 small hole on the right side which has
been repaired professionally, yet overall condition of the trunk
is solid and original.
Orig. spare, jack, new trunk mat with all brand new cardboard
filler inner quarter panels and wheel house area.
Under the hood, Mopars infamous 392 Hemi 392 cu.in. 345hp @4600
rpm, 450lbs of torque, bore 4.0000 stroke 3.906 10.0:1
compression gives this car plenty of power on the freeway.
Nicely detailed engine, no modifications. Rebuilt 4V
carb. Pump the gas twice, turn the key...starts every
time. All the engine components appear to be original
according to the seller. Radiator, generator, dist., etc.
Amazing to see everything is still original under the hood after
54 yrs. Even the washer bag is still in place and
only a couple of hose clamps have been changed. No
rust noticed under the hood. Hood springs are not worn,
inner fenders and inner wheel wells are original with no rust.
The interior appears to be mostly original with light blue tweed
fabric seat covers, door panels and headliner and are in good
shape. The carpet appears it's never been changed and has
an aged look but presentable condition. Perfect orig.
steering wheel, dk. blue padded dash with only 1 tiny crack
below the rear view mirror mount, very easy to repair.
Very comfortable seating, rare to see early air craft style seat
belts, factory, I believe was available starting in 1956, was an
option. These cars were far more advanced than most
realize. aircraft Rocket style tail lights, long
sloping rear bubble top back window. Mostly all cars came
fully equipped. All the power windows work great.
power seat, radio plays, gauges all work, heater, horn,
instrumentations work. Weather strip is all orig., and
considered in good condition. Nice clean door bottoms and
jambs. Doors that open and close with no effort.
This daily driver was always maintained, and driven to local car
shows. Very reliable, drives smooth and offered at a
realistic price. Considered very collectible. Only
1,939 Sport coupe were produced in 1958 with limited of these
vehicles left in existence. Weighing in at 4,730lbs., with
a list price $5,388.00, the 58 Chrysler Imperial Crown was the
the "mother ship" and the most expensive model built. Own
a piece of Mopar history! |
