Re: IML: 59 Imperial convertible on eBay



Sorry , Neal, but in the car business, we call this type of 'convertible' a chopper, as the top has been cut off. When I get more garage space to store my stash of cars inside, I will chop the top on an 81 Imperial and a 75 to 77 Cordoba, just for the summer. Should be lots of fun. I think you are really looking at a 59, as it has the 413 wedge engine in it. Ron Stephenson, certifiable chrysler nut!!!

It's a start, and very reasonbly priced, considering...

The hood has a '57/'58 hood ornament (+ the 18" long optional one). The crowns are missing from the front fenders. The front fenders have '57/'58 Imperial script. Someone grafted on '60 tail lights and rings. The leopard upholstery is to die for! It looks like it has air conditioning, but the dash vents look a bit funky, so I'm not sure.

And, it IS a convertible...well sort of. It started life as a coupe. Look at it this way: you have an eye-catching drop-top AND the spacious trunk of a regular coupe or sedan without that nasty folded-up top cluttering it up!!
