Powered by a 354 cubic-inch Hemi engine with a push button controlled 2-speed automatic transmission. The Crown Imperial long wheelbase cars were exclusively designed (not merely extended bodied sedans) and the results represent superior styling. This 1956 Crown Imperial was bought new by the B.F. Goodrich Company for use as an executive car at their headquarters in Akron, Oh. The owner acquired this automobile in 2002 and the automobile is largely unrestored with the exception of new paint and mechanical maintenance.
