Vehicle Description
This beautifully restored 1955 Imperial is a rare blend of vintage
charm and modern reliability. Extensive recent work has been done
to ensure it runs as beautifully as it looks. It now features a new
fuel tank, sending unit, and fuel lines, providing dependable fuel
delivery. The horn relay and battery have been replaced, and a
reproduction front emblem has been installed, along with rechromed
rear quarter panel trim and front parking light housings.
Mechanically, the starter and ignition coil have been rebuilt,
while the copper radiator has been upgraded with a brass top for
superior cooling. The water pump has been rebuilt, and the car is
fitted with new Coker wide whitewall tires, as well as all-new
hoses and belts. The power steering has been completely rebuilt,
along with the entire braking system, which includes a new master
cylinder, pumps, and wheel cylinders.
Adding a touch of luxury, the crown emblems on both the hood and
trunk have been adorned with 24-carat gold plating. The interior
has been redone using factory-correct cloth from SMS, while the
speedometer and all power window switches have been rebuilt. A new
brake light switch has been installed, and the interior of the
trunk has been fully refinished.
The only components not currently functioning are the radio and
dome lights, but the car remains highly dependable and is a joy to
drive. Whether for shows or weekend cruising, this 1955 Imperial
offers a classic driving experience with modern reliability.
