Beautiful, 1958 Imperial Crown Convertible - 392ci Hemi - Extremely Rare !

1958 Chrysler Imperial Imperial Crown Convertible Additional Info:

This stunning 1958 Imperial Crown Convertible is a true beauty, both inside and out. It has received meticulous care throughout its entire life, resulting in a remarkable overall condition. The car has been refinished in its original color of Ballet Blue, perfectly complemented by its correct Misty Pale Blue interior. With only 675 produced in 1958, this car is exceptionally rare, and very few have survived in such well-preserved condition. While it has undergone some light restoration in recent years, it has always been a remarkable vehicle, evident in its present state.

Under the hood, you'll find the original and iconic 392ci 345hp Hemi V8 engine, which effortlessly powers the rear wheels via a 3-speed Torqueflite automatic transmission. This powerhouse propels the car down the road with ease. The engine compartment is wonderfully detailed, maintaining its stock appearance and exhibiting excellent condition. In 2018, the entire drivetrain, including the engine, transmission, starter, generator, and brake system, underwent a complete rebuild. As a result, this car is not only reliable but also ready to be driven and enjoyed for years to come.

Hemi-powered Chryslers from the late 1950s are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts due to their rarity. We are selling this car on behalf of a long-time customer and local Phoenix, AZ collector who recently acquired it. However, he decided to switch to a vintage Cadillac with air conditioning, given the extreme heat in Arizona, to enjoy summer drives even more. Rest assured, this car has always been stored indoors and is free from rust. Overall, it is a truly spectacular vehicle. According to Hageraty, the value of this car in excellent condition (#2) is estimated at up to $126k. Therefore, it is priced extremely competitively and poised to sell quickly. Don't hesitate, as opportunities like this are rare to come by.
