1962 Chrysler Imperial Lebaron PRE-PRODUCTION PROTOTYPE
This specific Imperial is a 1962 Pre-Production vehicle that spent
its whole life being pampered by a long time Chrysler employee.
This specific Imperial was used for Auto Show reveals and even
Chrysler commercials in the early 1960s. In 1955 Chrysler made an
attempt to completely separate the Imperial nameplate in hopes of
competing with large American luxury companies such as Cadillac and
Lincoln. Although this attempt failed it does not take away from
the amazing design and craftsmanship on this Imperial.
With under 17000 miles (Title show miles exempt) this Imperial is
easily capable of walking away with multiple awards at any car
show. Equipped with a 413CID V8 This Imperial has more than enough
power to move around. The monstrous motor is matted to a 3-Speed
Automatic Push Button Transmission. This 1962 Imperial is
definitely a collector's item especially considering it is a
pre-production one of one example that you will never come across
again. This Imperial is still dressed in its original Tuxedo Black
paint which shows very minimal signs of age and wear. The interior
is dressed in Dark Grey and the plush vinyl upholstery is in
excellent condition. One of the most striking features is the
squared steering wheel which is unique to this specific generation
of Imperials.
This flagship sedan is equipped with many features you would not
expect from a early 1960s sedan. It is loaded with a full power
interior including Power Windows Power Seats and even Cruise
Control which is referred to as Auto Pilot. This pre-production
Imperial is also equipped with a rear air-ride suspension and a
rear A/C which is a completely separate unit that powers the A/C up
front. You will be hard pressed to find any flaws with this
timeless classic. It rests comfortably on wide white-wall radials
with Imperial engraved chrome hub-caps. The car rides on Coker
American Classic radial wide whitewall tires with the factory
Imperial wheel covers.
