In 1955: Chrysler launched the Imperial as its own Make and with its own Models, and was a product of the new “Imperial Division of Chrysler Corporation. The 1955 Crown Imperial was inspired by Exner’s own 1952 Chrysler Imperial Parade Phaeton show cars (which themselves were later rebodied to match the 1955-56 Imperials). The platform and body shell were shared with that year's big Chryslers, but the Imperial had a wheelbase that was 4 inches longer, providing it with more rear seat legroom, had a wide-spaced split egg crate grille, the same as that used on the Chrysler 300 and had free-standing "gunsight" taillights mounted above the rear quarters, which were similar to those on the Exner's 1951 Chrysler K-310 concept car. Gunsight taillights were also known as "sparrow-strainer" taillights, named after the device used to keep birds out of jet-engines.THIS CAR!Engine: This 1955 Crown Imperial 4 Door Sedan is equipped with a 331 cu/in Hemi V8 with a four barrel Carter carburetor that pushes out 250 Horsepower, Car has been sitting for a long time and needs minor adjustments, Engine Runs Great!
