Among the most exclusive automobiles of its day, this 1956 Chrysler
Imperial four-door sedan offered premium levels beyond what
standard Chrysler models provided. The Rosewood Tan paint gives a
rich, luxurious look across the massive body panels. From front to
back, the design shows incredible attention to detail with its
distinctive front grille, long hood, and signature tailfins. Chrome
accents throughout add classic contrast against the paint,
highlighting the Imperial's unique style. The 15" wheels paired
with 235/75R15 American Classic tires complete the look while
maintaining period accuracy for this exceptional automobile.
Inside, the black and pink combination creates an unexpected yet
appealing contrast. The vinyl and cloth bench seats provide
excellent comfort for long drives. Taking center stage on the
dashboard is the innovative push-button transmission selector,
which adds a unique touch to the driving controls. Additional
luxury options include power windows and the rare factory power
seats - features that were cutting-edge for 1956. The original
signal-seeking AM radio remains in place, while the under-dash air
conditioning unit keeps passengers cool during summer cruises.
For motivation, a 354 cubic inch HEMI V8 engine sits front and
center. The Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor helps this big V8 run
smoothly and efficiently. Power transfers through a two-speed
PowerFlite automatic transmission for easy driving. Extensive
mechanical work includes a stainless steel exhaust system, fully
rebuilt transmission, new power steering pump with hoses, and a
rebuilt generator modified for increased electrical output. The
drum brakes have received attention as well, ensuring proper
stopping capability when needed.
