Jerry and club, Having a '60 "LeCrown" it is not unheard of for dealers
to have "upgraded" lesser models. My car is a documented case of a Crown
being LeBaronized. There is also a '59 "LeCrown" on the site. It
doesn't take much of a stretch to think a dealer would have done about
anything to move these expensive cars.

Greetings,
I have posted my 1953 Chrysler Custom Imperial
4-door for sale. It is hard to let it go but I had my 3rd low back
surgery this April and have more work on the turnstyle so Orthopedically I
really do not havewhat it takes to own one of these. Metaphorically
the car has much meaning, my then fiance (now wife) was absolutely
encouraging to me to buy and enjoy the car-a very different paradigm than
what I had experienced in 19 years of previous marriage. I have even
contemplated that I could just park it andsit in it and enjoy the esthetics
but really these should be driven. The less than 500 miles I did drive
sure brought me a lot of joy and a lot of head turns. I always chuckle
with the Fluid Drive shifting. I posted it on the IML for sale site
and on
E-bay item # 2487837573. Of course I would be partial to
any IMLer who may be interested. It would be nice to find it a good
home especially as it has such potential.
One question: I have no reason to believe that
this was an after market change. The car has the crown emblem on the
front and back trunk and on all wheel covers-Why? Was this just a
marketing thing an option at the dealer to make it a tad more
"spiffy"?
Thank you in advance for your
reply.
Sincerely
Jerry Hesch
