This 1959 Chrysler Imperial restoration cost a fortune but we're not telling his wife! Dennis found this gem at the Lake Mirror Classic in Lakeland, Florida.

@@3713msg "Chrysler Imperial" means "Imperial" is the model, and "Chrysler" is the make. That is incorrect. This car is an "Imperial". The make is "Imperial" and the model looks like "Crown."
Land art
That car is piece of art

It litterally isn't, unless you are single-handedly changing the definition of "aŕt"

definition of art "the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power." It took human creative skill to design the car. Back when this car was designed, I believe they still sculpted a model out of clay. I am pretty sure this car is being appreciated for its beauty. By the sounds of it, the owner/restorer does have a fairly emotional tie to the car. I'm sure it would stir emotions in others that may have a memory of this car from their earlier years. So yeah, it could be defined as art.

I comment a lot about Imperials because my father had them. My favorite was his 63 Southampton LeBaron.

Had to watch this twice. It is so awesome. In my opinion best of the era. Update: 5 times
MAGNIFICENT ! ! !
I'd expect to see Perry Mason and Della Street to get out when that beauty pulled up..........Awesome !
Damn what an amazing car
Nice
*NICE !!* 🙂👍🏻
I want my '63 Imperial LeBaron back again. Wonderful car.
When I was a kid back in 1958 our neighbor had one like this in mint green. It was the talk of the neighborhood.
I remember those Imperials. Beautiful cars and interior was unbelievable
Thanks Dennis and to the owner. This one is so outstanding.....and I'm lusting again. It's gorgeous.
Absolutely incredible machine. Mind blowing restoration. Lake Mirror Classic just around the corner.
As a kid, my dad bought a (used) '57 Imperial. Dad let my mom drive it home-he'd drive the '54 Ford 6-cylinder station wagon home after work. She'd never driven a car so powerful, so when she got on the freeway onramp, which had a 90º turn in it-she did what she always did in the station wagon, floored it. Needless to say, she did a 270, scared the heck out of her. She got the car straightened out, and we all made it home, all in one piece! I was 5 or 6, and thought the whole thing was fun.
😮
A true gem.
It's an "IMPERIAL!" By Chrysler but not a Chrysler imperial! 🙄 Having said that it's certainly a beautiful Automobile!!!👍😊

Wow Impeccable I would love to see that car in person:
Happy to rewatch this presentation. Thought about it after watching first time. Yes and that hunter GREEN is really nice. Pulls in a little of the gaudiness( sp?). Cheers
A beautiful car. And the chrome goes on forever. Nice ! Thank you for sharing!
So so beautiful.
OMG that the most beautiful car!!!!❤❤❤
Wow!!!
MAGNIFICENT AUTOMOBILE
Unbelievable beauty
First of all, the finish of the restoration is very wonderful. The abundant use of chrome gives it a beautiful and luxurious feel. Is the tail fin a symbol of the golden age of American cars in the 50's? It looks like a Cadillac from around the same time. The push button transmission is an innovative idea. It's surprising that the latest car has a switch instead of a shift lever, but did this car foresee the future? Hahaha

59 was the pinnacle, yes... I recently saw a whole documentary about how GM Olds, etc. rushed to change the designs they already had pre-planned for 59 because of what the GM dude saw through the fence at Chrylser but HArley Earl went on vacation so the 2nd guy let the designers go wild!!
That is a masterpiece!!!
Stunning. 👍🇬🇧
Gorgeous ❤
BEAUTIFUL 😎
Sweet ride 😎

I thought pornography was banned on KZread.
Awesome.
I was waiting for the owner to say....."Say hello to my little friend!" when he opened up the hood. LOL!
A dream to me, so let me drive it to make it real! 👍👍👍👍
Its wild how much more luxurious these cars were in the 50's, then today. Compare this to the current Chrysler 300. Not even close
A beauty. I especially love the interior, back window and back end.
Nice job guys
For a Pennsylvania car, a three year restoration isn’t too bad. Given cars in the northeast and New England area tend to rust out due to the weather.
Old Chryslers dont get the attention they deserve.
InDubitably!! So stylized, reminds me of that finned car from the sunday comic strip... the old grouchy guy?? Maybe that was aFury? (We love Green!!)
Thank you for the video! 🤩👍♥
What a gorgeous car. Thanks for your video
The Imperial name is much too good to lose!
🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴Best regards from dominican Republic
Sad, many of these beauties were used in "demolition derbies" in the 60's and 70's. I believe some banned big, Chrysler products, like this one, because of their strong build quality and the difficulty it took to "demolish" them!
Dennis don't tell his wife how much he spent that might cause a divorce. LOL
What a beautiful car.
Stunning.
Cool
Enough of this debate over whether it’s a Chrysler Imperial, or Imperial by Chrysler. It’s one of the best designs ever by Virgil Exner, who just happened to work for Chrysler and all its automotive divisions.
Wow❤❤❤❤
Nice video, I can’t imagine what the price of a car built like that would be today.
I gotta head south to the US with a wallet full 😊 Have many more old cars without rusted out bodies and frames.
Dennis the restoration is beautiful but,the car is an "Imperial" by Chrysler, not a Chrysler Imperial, I would think you would know that.
Beautiful car! They don't make them like this anymore.
My man is obsessed with his wife....
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You paid a dear price for this Impy. The color is right. Aftermarket A/C can be added for a fair price. A fine stereo system adds to the pleasure, like Sony.
Any idea of the appx cost of this restoration? And which companies do this type of work? Thanks!
"It beats walking."
Dennis! Its not a Chrysler Imperial!!!! Its a Imperial Crown Southampton. Calling it a Chrysler Imperial is like calling a Lincoln Continental a Ford Lincoln. Imperial was a separate make from 1955 to 1975. No different than Plymouth, Dodge and DeSoto. That said great video! We need to see more Imperials, thanks for posting.
What a gaudy chrome covered barge
It's a car. What's a car produced for. TO DRIVE. So drive it or it's soul dies.
Check out Cold War Motors for the ultimate save of a 1960 Plymouth Fury This car is a beauty ,
The Imperial fins were not an answer to the Cadillac fins. It was the other way around. Imperials and other cars from the Chrysler Motor Co, (DeSoto, Plymouth and Dodge) all had high fins before any GM car.
No A/C. Alaska Edition.
