For sale in our Chicago showroom is a very unique 1967 Chrysler
Crown Imperial Coupe. These old Mopar coupes are very hard to come
across but this one has some very unique features that I anyone
would enjoy. Beginning in 1966 Chrysler introduced the Mobile
Director package on the 2-door Crown Imperial coupes and it was
produced for only 2 years ending in 1968. With the option adding a
cost of just under $600 in 1966, that would be the equivalent of
over $4,000 in 2016 dollars. Because of this, it was not popular
amongst the masses, and very few are known to exist today. Under
the hood you will see the original healthy 440 Cubic Inch V8 that
starts up immediately and runs fantastic. The 3 speed Tourqueflite
transmission shifts very smooth and makes driving very comfortable.
Options on this car include Imperial turbine wheel covers, black
vinyl top, leather interior with chrome accents, wood grain
inserts, power windows, power locks, sentinel headlights, rear
heat, window lock, push button temperature control, AM/FM radio,
tilt/telescoping wheel, power antenna and rear speaker. This car is
sure to grab anyone's attention. The Mobile Director Package was
designed to allow for a "mobile office" with a front bucket
passenger seat that swiveled a full 180 degrees and faced an
adjustable desk that allowed for meetings or your secretary to type
and take dictation. A "goose neck" high intensity light allowed for
night time reading of all of those important documents or the Wall
Street Journal while enjoying a cup of coffee in air conditioned
comfort. How "Mad Men" is that? When not being driven with your
secretary, you could enjoy the full luxuries of a heavily optioned
coupe. This car has a very interesting history, having been
purchased from a Navy Commander in the 1970's and placed in climate
controlled storage. The car is believed to be mostly original and
recent service includes new brake shoes and pads, master and wheel
cylinders, brake hoses, differential and transmission seals, new
tires, Air Conditioning compressor and receiver dryer replaced and
a tune up and carburetor overhaul. One rare feature is the factory
front disc brakes that are noted by script on the pedal itself and
allowed for precise braking and was rather innovative for 1967.
