This brand was essential for those that considered the Imperial to be a status symbol of the first order, and they were quite correct in their assessment. However; the Imperial was also judged for its inherent practical worth and it was these qualities that placed the Imperial in the elite of the luxury field in this era.

Chrysler’s most elite luxury car in the 1960s was the Imperial line. For 1965, only 633 Imperial Crown convertibles were produced, making it one of the most rare collector cars of its era.

This lovely Formal Black offering is “triple black” with black leather interior and black convertible top. It is powered by a 340 horsepower 413-cid V-8 engine and has a column-shift automatic transmission. This was the first year for replacing the novel pushbutton shifting system. Among the standards on this exclusive car are power steering, power brakes, power windows, power vent windows, power locks and power folding top, numerous lighting groups, whitewall tires, factory wheel covers and many other convenience and luxury touches. Among the options on this fine example is air conditioning, AM/FM radio and the passenger side external mirror. Very few of these convertibles are ever seen or are offered for sale; this presents a rare and welcome opportunity.
