Among the last expressions of famed American stylist Virgil Exner's designs for Chrysler Corporation, the updated 1962 Imperial model lines maintained their classical elegance with a split front grille, freestanding pod-style headlamps, restrained tailfins with upper "gun sight" taillamps, and less ornate exterior trim. Interiors continued to be futuristic, featuring push-button dash controls for the TorqueFlite automatic transmission and a captivating "no-glare" electroluminescent instrument display between slim, upright nacelles. Chrysler's renowned 413 cubic-inch "Wedge" V-8 engine was the sole power choice, delivering 340 factory-rated brake horsepower for 1962. The product of exceptional quality control standards for the era, the 1962 Imperials were proudly advertised as "America's Most Carefully Built Cars."
This nicely presented 1962 Imperial Crown Sedan is a distinctive classic driver, offered with the odometer indicating just 10,178 miles at the time of listing. Finished in Green paint over a matching interior, it provides a refreshing break from the far more common Cadillacs and Lincolns of the era, with its presence heightened by the squared-off steering wheel and unique electroluminescent instrument display. Abundant power is delivered by Chrysler's renowned 340 BHP 413 CI 'Wedge' V-8 engine, paired with Chrysler's pushbutton-shifted Torqueflite 3-speed automatic transmission. Features and amenities include an AM radio and power windows. Steel wheels, mounting full-diameter bright wheel covers, and Whitewall tires provide road contact.
