For Sale: 1956 Chrysler Imperial in Ft Worth, Texas

Vehicle Description

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.
