West Coast Classics are proud to present an exceptionally straight and rust free and great daily driving survivor of this very rare (1 of only 577 built) and original YM27 Mopar - a 1967 Chrysler Imperial Crown 2 door Convertible in its original 'Daffodil yellow' (code R) factory color paint matched to it's all original 'Gold & Black' (trim code M3E) Imperial leather seats interior and with its highly desirable original 440 c.i. 4 BBL 350HP V8 engine with reportedly only 36K original miles and TorqueFlite automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, power windows including vent windows, electric clock, and loaded with factory options.

This car, serial number 101688, was one of the "Imps of Omaha" cars.

For those folks that haven't heard of them .... a group of 'Shriners' who belonged to the Tangier Temple of Omaha, NE, bought 23 new identical Imperial convertibles every year from 1959 through '68. They used the cars in parades and special events. Naturally, such a large order got special attention in Detroit.

Reportedly the Shriners would order virtually identical cars with Masonic decals on the windshields an the Shriners would typically take delivery of the cars as soon as the models became available therefore with early serial numbers.

One of the Omaha Shriners who would fly up to Detroit each year and go to the Chrysler factory and take possession of the first 20+ new Imperial Converts off the line and they would then drive them back to Omaha in a group. What a sight that would have been to see! After the last two years of the Imperials (1967-1968) they switched to Cadillac Eldorado convertibles until they too ceased production in 1976. For a time in the 80's and 90's they also drove LeBaron or Mustang converts.
