In 1958 Chrysler's Imperial Crown had a 149 1/2 wheel base - over 20" longer than then a Eldorado Biarritz - a stately , finned statement of excellence and luxury. It was the highlight of Virgil Exner's "Forward Look" design, tempered with Imperial's quad headlights mounted in chrome nacelles at the flanks of the horizontally barred grille and the gun sight taillights at the trailing edges of the long tapered rear fins. befitting there stature at the top Chrysler's corporate lineup, imperials were loaded with options. The upscale imperial Crown added distinctive emblems, power windows , six-way power seat and outside rear view mirror to the package along with a 392ci Hemi 345hp to top it off. In 1958 only 675 imperial Crown convertibles were built, making them some of the most rare and exceptional convertibles of the Fifties and this is a exceptional example of the model. finished in Garnet Maroon and very rare green interior and matching top boot with a white vinyl top. This is made even more rare by the trunk lid does not feature the raised Faux spare detail, as typical of most similar models. It has never had a full restoration but has been given just as much attention to its paint, chrome, interior, glass, engine compartment to create a gorgeous driver.
