1959 Chrysler Imperial Convertible

This 1959 Imperial Crown Convertible represents one of the most glamorous expressions of Chrysler Corporation's late-1950s luxury design, with just 555 Crown convertibles produced for the model year. Finished in elegant Normandy Blue with a white interior and matching blue convertible top, it is powered by the new-for-1959 413 CI Wedge V-8 rated at 350 HP, fed by a 4-barrel carburetor and paired with Chrysler's distinctive pushbutton TorqueFlite automatic transmission. The Crown's engineering combined independent torsion-bar front suspension with semi-elliptic rear leaf springs, while power steering and power brakes reinforced its position as one of America's premier luxury automobiles. Exceptionally well equipped, this Imperial features factory air conditioning, Auto-Pilot cruise control, power windows, power convertible top, and swivel front bucket seats, along with one of the most memorable period accessories of the era: an RCA Victor 45 RPM record player. Chrome wire wheels wrapped in wide whitewall tires complete its dramatic presentation, complementing the bold grille, sweeping trim, and imposing proportions that defined Imperial styling in 1959. With its limited production, powerful 413 CI drivetrain, striking color combination, and remarkable list of factory luxury features, this Crown Convertible is a standout example of American excess, innovation, and prestige at the height of the tailfin era.
