0 false 18 pt 18 pt 0 0 false false false What we have here is a very unique classic luxury car with a very rare "Mobile Director" option I have been selling off a collection of cars for a nice Widower named Lee. Her late Husband Irv was very found of Chrysler products. He collected and restored many. What I know about this car is this. It starts and runs, moves forward and back. I drove it around the parking lot. It hasn't been driven in a couple of years, but it runs and idles nicely. It was a favorite of Irv's and he showed it off when ever he could. AC,PB,PW,PS, loaded. It's a rare "Mobile Director" model. No one seems to know how many 67's came with this option, but they are very rare. Possibly ordered by dealerships to have on display.some quotes from the Imperial club website: "Mobile Director was an option that included the following features: -A front passenger seat (bucket) that could rotate (swivel) 180 degrees around to face the rear seat (it did not adjust fore-aft). -A folding wood-grained table that mounted on a large giant post (sort of looked like a chrome traffic light stanchion) on the driveshaft hump in the rear-seat foot-well area. The table was split so it folded in half lengthwise, and one half was fitted underneath with an upholstered pad that, when folded over, became a padded center armrest for the front seat. Or both front and rear seats could have slim, wood-grain tabletops running down the center of the car Or, most important of all, the two right-hand passengers (front and rear) could have a little square-ish tabletop between them (when the front seat was facing the rear seat, that is). - Finally, a high-intensity gooseneck desk-type lamp plugged into the right rear cigarette lighter socket, and you had a rolling conference table, so the executive could give dictation to his stenographer. The flaw? Of course! What executive rode in the back of a TWO-door Imperial?! The feature was never offered on LeBaron or Crown 4-doors because the B-pillar stub would have been in the way of the swiveling seat.""The Mobile Director was an option package for the 1967 and 68 Imperials - specifically for the Crown Coupe only. The special order package cost $597.40 and converted the Crown Coupe into a rolling office. The package featured a passenger bucket seat that swiveled around to face the rear seat. The center armrest was replaced by a folding table - folded up, it acts like an armrest, with a padded section. Unfolded, it turns into a table for the rear seat passenger. The package is completed by a high intensity lamp which plugs into the cigar lighter and is stored in the glove compartment. The idea was that the boss could sit in the back and do paperwork, or take a secretary along, who would sit in the front seat facing rearward, to take dictation, or even do typing. We presume that Jeeves, the trusty chauffeur, was at the wheel..." "The most common illustration of this option is in the '67 sales brochure. It is also mentioned in the '68 catalog although there's no picture. I don't believe there are any production numbers for this option, but I'm sure all would agree that it is incredibly rare. I can't imagine anyone actually ordering this $597.40 ($317.60 in '68) option. The examples that were actually produced were probably ordered by dealerships as novelties to put in their showrooms... And it's quite likely the turn-around seat and table were more often used by kids with coloring books on vacation instead of state-of-the-art executives commuting into the big city."So from the info that I have...The car was repainted black about 12 years ago. The paint is starting to deteriorate a bit. The interior was reupholstered in white leather, i believe the original was black. Starts and runs nicely. It was appraised at 17K recently. If you have any questions please email me and I will answer to the best of my ability. The car is sold AS IS, WHERE IS and will need to be moved from its present location in Culver City Ca.The car is sound and will make the winner of the auction very happy. It does need some TLC as it has been parked for a while, and is a older resto, but will be worth the effort.I highly recommend viewing the car in person, email me and i will arrange it.Here is a link to more photos:http://gallery.me.com/mrdeanmitchell#100051 Here is a must see video on youtube advertising the New 67 "Mobile Director"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqLyRLgU8o8 Thanks for looking!!
