The Imperial LeBaron by Chrysler was an exclusive and elegant vehicle that was built for a distinct clientele. Virgil Exner's designed the car with dignity, classic simplicity, and a style that set it apart from its competition.
The Imperial LeBaron Series had a unique formal roof design that distinguished it from the other series. They came standard with stone shield moldings, whitewall tires, and power vent windows.
For 1961, the Imperial LeBaron four-door was powered by the Chrysler RB-Series 413 cubic-inch 'Wedgehead' V8 engine. They had a base price of $6,428, ensuring their exclusivity. Just 1,026 examples were built in 1961.
This particular example is an original car that is finished in Tuscan Bronze Metallic over a tan interior. Luxury amenities include swivel front seats, air conditioning, power windows all around, power locks, and the push-button controlled, automatic transmission.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2017
