This 1962 Chrysler Imperial custom series is for sale in our
Louisville KY showroom. The Imperial was known as America's most
carefully built car. When released in 1962 Chrysler was worried
about what the public was going to say with its decision to, well
chop off the fins that up to that point defined the Imperial. To
Chryslers surprise the public loved the fresh look and would wind
up buying nearly 20% more than the year before. This white example
is a 3-owner car with the original miles 68000 miles showing on the
odometer. Purchased new by a set of sisters that owned a Jewelry
store the car was rarely driven except to and from the jewelry
store. Parked out front it was sure to attract clients which it did
for years to come. When the Sisters passed the car was purchased by
their longtime mechanic who held on to it until his passing which
is where in 2002 the current owners purchased it. The 413 under the
hood still purrs like a kitten at idle and with the addition of the
dual exhaust will howl like a lion when opened. Keeping this iconic
piece of metal moving down the road is Mopar's best transmission to
date. The 727 TorqFlite was serviced with all new seals being
installed this transmission has a lot of life left. The AC has been
switched over to today's 134-A, and it cools as good as any modern
system. With the steering box, just having been gone through the
wheel is as tight as the day the sisters took it home. The exterior
has been preserved and looks amazing for being 55 years old. You
would never think that the chrome had not been touched given its
shine. If you have ever wanted to own a piece of automotive history
but didn't want to have to sleep in it then this priced
mechanically sound very original 62 Imperial is just that car.
