Hello all! After a bit of an extended hibernation, New Old Car of the Day is back! Today’s selection is this 1964 Chrysler Imperial Crown Coupe that was originally ordered for the Governor of Ohio.
This Is another vehicle from my private collection. I have owned this car 6 years and it is an absolute time capsule. the leather seats are perfect with only slight aging in the left front. Rear seat has never been touched. Car has the original wool carpet that is also perfect. Trunk Interior is as new, with jack and unused original spare tire. Car has a TV that was installed in 1964 that worked until the digital transition. I have have the suction cup antenna which goes with the car. This car was originaly ordered for the Governour Of Ohio and has been in private collections since the 1970′s . The car runs 100% and I have driven it up to 80mph on highways with no problems.
All switches and gauges Work as new, Windows are a little bit slow
AC Works and Blows Cold
Headliner is Perfect
No Body Work Ever
I replaced the exhaust with an NOS last year as the Y pipe rusted out
I just Returned From the Chrysler Nationals at Carlisle where this car was chosen First Place in the Imperial Division
