    These late 50s Chrysler products are such proud cars. You can really tell this automaker was at a peak at this time.

      Enthusiastically agree. The whole line. But what is also interesting is how quickly these designs lost favor. Public perception changed more quickly than would a “quieter” design. I think with the oppressive sameness of modern cars, these hopeful, flamboyant automobiles are a long cool drink on a hot day. Give me a ’59 DeSoto or Chrysler hardtop or convertible to restore some sanity. 😇

    My 59 4 door Imperial does have the front seats that rotate. But it does not have the armrest in the front which open for storage. Also the backseat ashtrays are not in the doors they are in the middle of the backside of the front seats. My dad and grandfather were both Chrysler Plymouth Imperial dealers. It was not unusual as a model year began or closed to see things show up on a current model that earlier cars didn't get....no doubt it was Supply Chain problems 😂. My car was actually my grandmother's demo that she drove for 5ooo thousand miles and then it was sold. Through a stroke of fate I ended up buying it from the guy who purchase it. That was 1994. I keep it in a heated garage and weather permitting I drive it year around. That's hard to do some years. I had over 60 inches of snow here in Eastern Washington last season.

      Back in 1972 I was about 16 years old working part time at a Phillips 66 station. This sophisticated looking Older Gentleman and his wife would come in regularly in a 1960 Chrysler Imperial, white with black leather. This car was already about 12 years old but look like it rolled off the showroom floor. Such a beautiful old car! I'll never forget that.

    What a beautiful car. About a year ago, I came close to purchasing a 1959 Imperial crown with the stainless steel and landau top. That deal did not work out, so I found a really nice 83,000 mi 1964 Imperial LeBaron.

    You should use a small amount of a high-quality leather preservative. Anything else will ultimately dry it out. That AAA sticker on the dash is a real vibe killer.

      @@Mikesclassicautoworld This car holds a special place in my heart - in 1971 I was in my first year of college and had just dropped off my girlfriend around 2:00 AM . I had the 1959 Crown Southampton 4 door HT that I had purchased for the princely sum of $150.00 it did not have the Silvercrest Landau option as does yours. A drunk in a 1954 Ford Custom ran a stop sign and T boned me on the drivers side front door - the Imperial was so well built that the door imploded at least a foot and a half protecting me from the impact - the cop who came to the scene was amazed that there were no injuries - the engine in the Ford pushed up into the firewall. Chrysler quality and superb engineering saved my life.
