There were 127 limos produced in 1955 by Chrysler. In 1956 there were
175 limos built by Chrysler. Then in 1957 Ghia began to build the limos
for Chrysler and 36 were produced.
The numbers on limos are as follows:
1958 31
1959 7
1960 16
1961 9
1962 0
1963 13
1964 10
1965 10
There were 132 limousines built by Ghia for Chrysler.
I am an authority on Imperial limousines. I am the owner of the
1965 Pearl S. Buck limousine which I own for over 25 years and a 1964 Ghia limo
built for the White House during JFK administration. The White
House limo was featured at the Invitational "T" Building at Carlisle
in July 04'. There is a special hour long "Car Crazy" "Chrysler's at
Carlisle" episode scheduled on the Fox speed channel set to air sometime in
February-March in which I was interviewed along side the 64' limo. I
also own a 1948 Derham Imperial limo with blinded quarters. My newest
acquisition is a 1969 Stageway limo that will be restored one day.
I also own a collection of limo only literature from 1956-1965.
