1961 Chrysler Imperial Crown Convertible
413ci Golden Lion V8 | TorqueFlite Push-Button Automatic | 1 of 429 Produced
Alright, folks — feast your eyes on one of the finest expressions of American luxury ever built.
This is a 1961 Chrysler Imperial Crown Convertible, finished in elegant Coronado Cream over black leather, powered by Chrysler’s legendary 413 Golden Lion V8, and one of only 429 produced for the year.
Virgil Exner’s Forward Look styling reached its absolute peak right here — those towering fins, free-standing headlamps, and the “Flite Sweep” deck lid that could make a Cadillac blush. This wasn’t just a car… this was Chrysler saying “We can out-style anybody, anywhere, anytime.”
This particular Imperial was restored in the mid-1990s and still presents beautifully today. It runs, drives, and looks the part of a high-end showpiece. Every line, every curve, every bit of chrome screams Jet-Age glamour. Under the hood, the 413ci V8 delivers smooth, effortless power through the famous push-button TorqueFlite automatic, while the car’s presence stops traffic wherever it goes — even parked next to modern exotics.
Inside, you’ll find premium black leather seating, power everything (top, windows, steering, brakes, seat), factory air, and enough chrome to signal passing satellites. The details throughout — from the crystal-style taillights to the standalone headlights — are pure 1960s opulence.
It’s finished in the correct Coronado Cream (originally Formal White WW1), and remains a rare sight in today’s collector world. With fewer than 450 ever built and far fewer surviving, this Crown Convertible represents the best of the best — Chrysler’s pinnacle of design, engineering, and personality.
If you’re after a car that makes grown men stop mid-sentence and teenagers ask, “What is THAT?” — this is the one.
She’s equal parts luxury, artwork, and horsepower — all rolled into one stunning piece of Detroit royalty.
