One Owner, Low Mileage, Great Looking Car In Very Good Condition W/ Low Reserve on 2040-cars

 1962 Chrysler Imperial Crown Coupe For Sale.

This car was purchased new in 1962 at Skyline Motors dba Sheely Motor Company, 326-330 S. College Ave., Ft. Collins, CO by the Morton Family of Lyons, CO.. The car has lived its entire life to date in Lyons, Colorado where it has benefited from being continuously owned, maintained, and cared for by the Morton Family.

The car is very solid, not rusty (salt not used on roads here) and runs and drives very well. Very comfortable and smooth ride. It does not leak or drip.

The 97,500 miles is the original mileage.

The interior of the car is in excellent condition, no cracks in dash, no rips/tears, headliner excellent, etc.. The steering wheel rim has some cracks but is not loose.

All power options (windows, seats) and electrical (lights, dash, etc.) function.

The body is straight without any evidence of prior accident damage, bondo, etc..  The paint is good, certainly above average but there are some blems the worst of which is two small dimple dings on the lower trunk lid. Gaps are good; all doors, trunk open and close well. Door hinges all good, no up/down movement.  Sometimes the hood hangs up a little when opening it; hinges could use adjustment. Chrome, trim, wheel covers, etc. all very good. The undercarriage of the car is clean and straight with only some very light surface rust on its 52 year old steel.
The car would benefit from a good buffing and polishing.

This car is just one of 1,010 Crown Imperial Coupes built in 1962. It is the last of the Virgil Exner designed and styled Imperials and is last year of  Imperials built in their separate plant. Truly a unique example of " Rolling Americana ".
