Vehicle Description
Called "America's Most Carefully Built Car", the 1960 Imperial
adopted wildly exaggerated styling, featuring front fascia with a
swooping bumper, gaping mesh grille, giant chrome eagle, and hooded
quad headlights, and tall rear fins. Soaring fins had bullet style
tail lamps at the peak of the fin, with a chrome ring surrounding
it. The grille and bumper on the front of the 1960 used large
pieces of heavy chrome, and the 'furrowed brows' of the fenders
over the double sets of headlights gave the car a ponderous look.
In common with most other 1960 Chrysler products, the Imperial
featured the new "High-Tower" seat with the driver-side back
individually contoured and raised above of the rest of the front
seat for increased driver comfort and shoulder support. This would
last through the 1962 model year.
This Imperial has a 413 CID Wedgehead V8 engine, TorqueFlite 3
Speed Automatic transmission, Air Conditioning, Power Steering,
Power Brakes, and Power Seats.
It has received a $4000 Fuel Injection upgrade and modern
ignition.
Absolutely wonderful and extremely rare color option for 1960.
Car is equipped with optional factory air conditioning, original
interior still in good condition. Car comes with replacement
reproduction material. We can install at additional cost.
One big thing to note, is the upgrade to fuel injection. Car is
prepped and ready for cross country touring.
