Extremely nice car reminds me of being younger another nice car was the 61 Chrysler Newport I love the dashboard with a big dome speedometer glass. MR WELSH
Exactly!! These "Chrysler Imperial" guys just don't get it. They either have no idea or concept about the car's history, or they're old fogeys who refused to except the change the Chrysler made in 1955, to launch the Imperial as its own make and division.th-cam.com/video/wOy6_uk3k3k/w-d-xo.html
It sounds like you need to get the lead fuel additive it said make the compression on the the valve softer so they don't tap got lead free gas I got a car does the same thing but I can't find lead additive anywhere I know they sell it. MR WELSH
From Wikipedia, The online encyclopedia For the 1955 model year, the Imperial was launched and registered as a separate marque (make), apart from the Chrysler brand. It was a product of the new Imperial Division of Chrysler Corporation, meaning that the Imperial would be a make and division unto itself, and NOT bear the Chrysler name.Chrysler Corporation sent notices to all state licensing agencies in the then-48 states that the Imperial, beginning in 1955, would NO LONGER be registered as a Chrysler, but as a SEPARATE MAKE. Even as early as in 1954, Chrysler Corporation ads at the time began to visibly and consciously separate The Imperial from the Chrysler Division car line in the eyes of the public, to prepare for the big change coming in 1955
Wanna know if the Imperial was a Chrysler or not ? Check the VIN numbers . All "Chryslers" ( New Yorker, 300, Windsor, ETC.) used a "C"under the "make" identification . Imperial models ( Custom, Crown, Ghia Limos , and LeBaron) did NOT use a "C" . They used a "Y" under THEIR "make " code. If the Imperial was indeed a "Chrysler" , it TOO would have had a "C" make code....thus the IMPERIAL was NOT a Chrysler, but a SEPARATE MAKE.
@MagnusOmegusYesBorisNo AVGCP AUTTP AAFC AAFU FF RIGHT !! And he's trying to TELL you that the IMPERIAL ceased being a "Chrysler" after 1954. In *1955*...IMPERIAL was registered as it's OWN, *SEPARATE MAKE* (like Dodge, DeSoto, and Plymouth, and was NO LONGER a "Chrysler". But people continue to ERRONEOUSLY call it a "Chrysler" IMPERIAL to this VERY DAY. 1) th-cam.com/video/wOy6_uk3k3k/w-d-xo.html 2) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_(automobile)#First_generation_(1955%E2%80%931956):_A_separate_make

Oh you snazzy Americans.YOU had Seats&Windows which work with that Elecktrickery, Torsion-bars,Air Conditioning,Tinted Glass. What did WE have in Britain in that era ? A few horse-hairs for padding,A vinyl de-luxe steering wheel cover, optional brakes, and a hand-crank. WE really missed out and I am still so pissed-off about it when I see what YOU had. Grrrr. Thank you anyway good Sir. She certainly is a bloody Snazzy car. You had the Imperial, and we had the Wolsely with its non-synchromesh T34 gearbox.
Will SOMEBODY PLEASE STOP CALLING THESE CARS *CHRYSLERS ?* *IMPERIAL* was a *SEPARATE MAKE* from 1955 on. This IMPERIAL is a 1961. Thus , it was an *IMPERIAL LE BARON That's IT . The "Chrysler" name is NOWHERE on this car...nor is it VINed AS A CHRYSLER. This car is NOT a "Chrysler" ANYTHING !!!

Valve trains, seats need adjustment/replacement. Let's hope that 'faint clatter' isn't cylinder slap (i e. meaning a rings job also).
Valves are tapping pretty loudly.
Beauuuutiful Car!❤️
Imperial was the make, LeBaron was the model!

Just an Amazing and Outstanding Car Very unique and Slick Looking Cars

Very noisy lifters. Beautiful yellow color.
Sounds like a worn main bearing.
Love the headlights and taillights.
How much did it sell for ?
Leaf springs were bad look@ the rear (side view).
Not a Chrysler. No “Chrysler” script anywhere on the car. Not even VINed as a Chrysler. IMPERIAL was ITS OWN MAKE/BRAND of car from 1955 on…
Let's play race!
COOL CAR. BUT WHY SUCH SMALL TAILLIGHTS?
1:33 Affectionately referred to as the "toilet seat" by Chrysler aficionados. I had one on my '60 Valiant V-200
The Chrysler Imperial was a much more beautiful car than the Ford Lincoln or the Buick Cadillac. It was just as elegant as the Bentley Rolls-Royce.
Oh, and ROBERT , let's not forget the gone, but not forgotten "Dodge DeSoto" ( Ha-Ha ) .

OK OK, let it go....
Nice car but those big tail wings make car look garish. Throws off it's sleek look. 62 much better

Pity you can't spell Wolseley correctly.
