The Imperial automobiles of the 1960s were truly remarkable vehicles, with strong performance from their powerful 413 cubic-inch engine to their excellent handling provided by the torsion-bar suspension. The Imperial line shared only its power-train with other Chrysler products, and ever since 1955 were considered their own separate marque.
For 1960, there were a mere 618 Imperial Crown convertibles produced. This particular example was owned by the Academy Award-winning Hollywood actor Jack Palance. It was in his care from the early 1980s until his death in 2006. It was then purchased by the present owner and given a no-expense-spared, frame-off restoration, which was completed in August of 2007. It is a California car that shows no signs of rust.
In 2009, this Chrysler Imperial Crown Convertible was offered for sale at the Automobiles of Amelia Island auction presented by RM Auctions. It was expected to sell for $90,000 - $120,000. It sold for a high bid of $77,000, including buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2009
