      Exactly. Apparently some of the model years had weird insurance or something because it could be considered jewelry with all the emblems, crowns, shields, etc. A true work of art.

    Lovin' the stainless on the roof. Back when they actually knew what chrome, Nickle & gold plating were. Also when cars were made of steel & had PERSONALITY. Love also how the drivers seat is slightly taller than passenger seat. Details + craftmanship. Now everything is plastic, but they charge you as If it were stainless steel. LOL!

    Some time in the late 1980s, I saw a 1964 Imperial with this same color. God, it was beautiful. This is a beautiful car, but I like the 1964 best of all, then the 65 and 66.

    Luxury cars truly reached their acme or nadir in 1959-60 depending on your point of view. The Imperial was so massive that it warped the space-time around it. Small cars passed the Imperial at their own risk of being sucked into it’s gravity well.

    My grandparents had one of these, though I think it was a lower trim level than Crown. My grandfather played the bass viol in the local symphony, and could put the whole thing in the trunk and close the lid! And my patriotic grandmother (a naturalized U.S. citizen) had an American flag on the power antenna. Apparently, to amuse infant me, she'd run the thing up and down just so I could see the flag moving! Such a cool car.

    Wow, kool! (I'm spelling cool with a "K" from now on) Thanks for featuring a car from Lincoln, Nebraska! I live there (here)! I'm pretty sure DeBrown Auto Sales isn't in business anymore, though. 1960 was a long time ago. Early 60's Chryslers were awesome, and the '60 Imperial almost looks a little Cadillac-y, at least in the front. The color is fantastic. In the late 50's - early '60's the American luxury makers were going all out in styling, and this Imperial is a testimony to that. Thanks for a great video!

    I love the front grille. It’s interesting that they changed the front, quite dramatically just for this one year. Then for 61 they went back to front grilles that resembled 57, 58, and 59.

    • @emjayay
      @emjayay Před 3 lety +2

      I think this front end is very much like one on an Exner concept car. But the '61-63 front end had those insane free standing headlights. Four big chrome freestanding bullets sitting in areas carved out on each side of the grille.

    It's basically a limousine. I think of bankers and statesmen when I see these. Cadillacs were just as big in '60, but much more conventional, while the Imperial was simply bedazzling decadence. One cool feature was the "Panelescent" dash lighting. It had an indirect luminescence that gave the appearance of a spaceship control panel at night. What would one expect from the "space-age" era!

    This car is a Dodge with toxido.
    Tail lights are like those laser guns from Lost in Space serial.
    Cokor is dirty pink pearled metallic finishing.
    Trunk size is same hood size or similar.
    Chrysler designers in '50s thougt that 60s decade will keep rocket influences, but not. In 1961 they abandoned these aero-rare-shapes.
