1963 Chrysler Imperial Crown in Scottsdale, Arizona

This 1963 Crown Imperial is one of 531 Imperial convertibles built for entire model year production, the final year for designer Virgil Exner's spare-no-extravagance body style. It is powered by its original, date-coded 413ci big-block V8 engine and original 3-speed automatic TorqueFlite transmission. This original Florida car was purchased from the John Staluppi Cars of Dreams Collection in 2020 and was the recipient of a complete, ground-up, nut-and-bolt restoration over a two-year period to a high standard of accuracy, finish and mechanical excellence. It has been driven approximately 12,000 miles since the completion of the restoration. In addition to power steering, brakes windows and vent windows, the car comes with factory-optional air conditioning. The authentic OEM factory wire wheels pop with retro beauty and new correct white sidewall radial tires were installed less than 12 months and 100 miles ago. Nothing fully speaks to the magnificent elegance of the Crown Imperials built when Chrysler Corp spared no resources to complete at the top of the luxury car market. **TITLE IN TRANSIT**
