This 1962 Chrysler Imperial Crown convertible is powered by a 413ci “wedge” V8 engine rated at 340hp, paired with a 3-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission. It rides on a 129-inch wheelbase and the chassis recently detailed and painted, following a full mechanical and functional refurbishment. The exhaust, suspension and chassis components were addressed during its restoration work by the Charles Mallory Collection, and every accessory and operational system was confirmed functional, including the Guide-Matic headlight dimmer, power convertible top and power antenna. Braking equipment and factory running gear remain in excellent operating condition.
Originating as one of 554 built, this example spent nearly its entire life in Portland, OR, and a Portland State University faculty parking permit from 1972–73 remains affixed to the windshield. It later received a body-off restoration there before being acquired by an Imperial collector in Alberta, Canada, in 2006. It was subsequently purchased by Mallory in Connecticut, where it was comprehensively gone through at a large restoration facility to bring it back to show condition. The exterior features its Oyster White finish, a new correct black vinyl convertible top, well-preserved chrome and stainless trim, Imperial wheel covers and new wide whitewall radial tires.
The interior is finished in red leather trim with chrome accents, a mid-century-designed dash, a squared steering wheel with fully functioning electro-luminescent lighting, matching red carpeting and the correct-style boot. The engine compartment is clean and well detailed, and the overall presentation reflects tens of thousands of dollars spent by current ownership to return the car to the frame-off caliber achieved at its earlier restoration.
