MORE about this fine Imperial:

RARE FIND: This 1957 Crown Imperial Southampton, driven just 30K
miles, is one of the finest “Forward Look” Imperial in existence.

WELL DECORATED: This car is well branded and has a lot of bling -Four
Imperial eagles, seven Imperial scripts, and ten gold crowns.

SURVIVOR CLASS: To find any classic car with a FACTORY
ORIGINAL interior as well preserved as this is extremely rare.
I always say, “QUALITY AND COLOR,” but when you have both quality
and color, you have it all. EXTRA POINTS for the rich shade of metallic
emerald green, which enhances the style lines of the car from every
angle, in every light.

“MATCHY MATCHY”: Few cars are a BEAUTIFULLY COLOR
COORIDNATED inside and out as this Imperial. Everything that can be
color keyed is, including the instrument cluster and two-tone steering
wheel.

CHARMED LIFE: The two previous owners were wealthy businessmen.
According to the daughter of the second owner, he acquired it from a
close family friend in 1980.
This 1957 Imperial is MORE than an American classic … MORE than midcentury modern masterpiece, it’s a WORLD CLASS NATIONAL TREASURE

MOST MODERN LUXURY CAR OF 1957: In the wondrous realm of midcentury motoring, the 1957 Imperial is in a class all by itself. Unlike its
fine luxury car competitors, Cadillac and Lincoln, the Imperial was
completely redesigned for the 1957 model year giving it the distinction
of being the most modern luxury car to roll of an assembly line that
year.

MUSCLE CAR IN DISGUISE: The performance of the 1957 Imperial
further sets it apart from its rivals. I’m a huge fan of both 1957 Cadillacs
and Lincolns … BUT … the 1957 Imperial is a really muscle car in luxury
car clothing. The brute force of the 392 HEMI engine paired with the
agility of the torsion bar front suspension … leaves every other
competitor car in the dust!

STAR OF THE FORWARD LOOK: The 1957 Imperial is the top of the line
luxury offering among the cars manufactured by Chrysler Corporation
between 1956 and 1959 promoted as “CARS OF THE FORWARD LOOK.”

SPACE AGE STYLE: How appropriate that the Crown Imperial would
have a tiara as a crowning touch. Inside and out, chrome trim wraps up
and over the roof finishing into a perfect point, punctuating the
supreme space age style and status of the 1957 Imperial, the epitome
of a mid-century modern luxury car. The chrome Saturn rings
surrounding the taillights are the perfect “fly-me-to-the-moon”
finishing touch.
