Elwood Engel was hired away from Ford to replace Virgil Exner in the early 1960s and he transitioned Chrysler products to more conservative styling. He did a good job since the cars sold well. The Imperial was an exception but it never sold in large numbers as the narrator mentions. BTW Jay Leno has the hardtop version of this car and there is a video of it on KZread.

The '67-'68 Imperials were stunning cars. A coworker back in the early '80's have a '67 Imperial Crown Coupe. I always stopped to admire it when he brought it to work. Jay Leno has a pristine, low mileage Crown Coupe that he featured on Jay Leno's Garage.

Back in the day a lot of people considered Chrysler to be kind of gaudy but now it's a work of art. Thanks for sharing Adam.

The way the dash flows into the door panels looks surprisingly modern. I know this was premium car, but Even if you take away the wood and some chrome it’s still a nice looking design. Hard the believe how cheap and cobbled together looking so many car interiors would get in just a few years

I always felt the Imperial was a cut above the Cadillac and Lincoln. Gave you luxury, plus great handling and performance for such a big car.

Though I am a Lincoln Mercury man, I have always appreciated these fine cars. They have very interesting detailing, high quality, and excellent attention to detail. And this is a beautiful example.

The father of a good friend of mine as a boy traded his 1965 Crown Coupe for this 1967, also a Crown Coupe. He preferred this one and particularly liked the fact that it now had the dual air. I rode in both many times and thought those 1967 bucket seats were interesting having that cloth in the pleats between the leather. That, and of course as a kid, I was fascinated by the radio behind that door!

Back in the 1980's I found one in Tampa. It was a Crown Sedan. Turquoise w/ white top and turquoise fabric/leather interior. It was very high quality and was a great driver. The A/C was VERY effective in the Florida climate. I enjoyed the car for a few years until another collector "had to have it" and I moved it along. I never had a mechanical problem with it although the steering box needed tightening. But the car already had 200k or so miles on it when I got it and I was stunned because it had obviously been garaged and very well cared for. The original owner was a high ranking officer in the Air Force and had actually kept a "log" of all maintenance items since new! Anyway, no regrets. I am so glad I had the opportunity to enjoy this vintage Imperial.

Exquisite! Just beautiful. The sculpting, the fit and finish, just amazing. This is first Imperial I have ever seen that was a convertible. Just a fantastic looking car.

Love this car. Something different from a Caddy or Lincolnator.

"Bullitt" was, and is an iconic car chase scene. But in John Boorman's "Point Blank" what Lee Marvin does to and with one of the 577 Imperial convertibles produced for '67 (with Michael Strong as the hapless used car salesman riding shotgun) is something to behold. And this unibody ragtop was somehow rebuilt after all that carnage!

That car is freaking beautiful. Especially the rear end treatment. And how the armrests and controls meet the dash.

Unfortunately I've never had the opportunity to see a '67 Imperial in Australia but by far it is my favorite Imperial model because of its understated elegance and presence.

Another great video! I have a 68 Imperial convertible and the comments are dead on -including comments RE ride. As Adam indicates, the ride was the stiffest among the three luxury brands -and that inspires confidence at highway speeds (all relative of course; these are massive cars after all). The engine is possibly another standout. Reliable and great torque. It has a wonderful sound -almost as good as a hemi. The El Dorado easily wins in the looks department. Still, the Imperial has presence if not prettiness. Another thing about the 67/68 is that they are massively overbuilt. They have an overall excess solidity feel that started to disappear in other cars by the late 60s -even from other Chrysler cars. Another stand out is that for some reason they are not very collectible despite the low numbers. Possibly it’s that so many of us who throw money away with the car hobby do it because we grew up with a car and want it again as adults. As imperial never sold in the numbers of Cadillac or Lincoln, not many have imperials in their past. Thanks for the great videos Adam.

Despite what the description says, starting in '67, the Imperial shared its body with the rest of the Chrysler line, unlike '57-'66 which had its own unique body. The quality was still top notch, but you can plainly see the similarities between it and a Newport or New Yorker. Quality plummeted dramatically with the introduction in '69 of the much less attractive fuselage models--bloated sides, high beltlines and slit windows.

The 440 was a great street engine which powered a lot of Chrysler products both in standard and high performance configurations. It also was the engine of choice for a number of motor home applications due to its torque and pulling power. However its fuel economy like its contemporaries wasn't great. I guess if you have to ask how much it costs to run you can't afford it.

This era of Imperials and the early 60's Continentals and Thunderbirds are among my favorite US cars aestheticly.

You can’t underestimate the “palate cleansing” effect of the 1960 Corvair and 1961 Continental on American car design. I understand that Engel gets a lot of the credit, but I’d love to know more about what was happening in the design studios and executive offices that convinced the American manufacturers to scrap the swoopy, finny late ‘50s designs. I can’t think of any other period that resulted in such a radical change than what happened between, say, ‘57 and ‘65.

@ddellwo

I think the original Ford Taurus ushered in the same kind of radical industry design change - going from the sharp, crisp styling lines that were common across most manufacturers to very rounded designs within the industry in only a few years! Of course, much of this change was driven by an engineering push for improved aerodynamics, while the change in the early sixties was likely more artistically driven……

Well the "swoopy" tailfin designs were started by Harley Earl & Virgil Exner in the 50's then Engel replaced Exner and Bill Mitchell replaced Harley Earl. Engel gave us the square "slab side" look and Bill Mitchell gave us the smooth "coke bottle" look. Remember the marketing department's attitude backthen was to re-style their cars every year since the market was hyper competitive these changes happened fast and the progression towards more conservative styling just reflects the overall cost saving measures of modern mass production methods

Circa 1970 dad was "car sitting" one of these for a friend for a week (also tuning it up) so we took it on some short trips. What a magnificent car! I loved the power options, the engine, the way it rode, everything. By the way, those white lights in the front are cornering lights, the turn signals are in the bumper. This car was one of the first I'd ever seen with cornering lights, it was fun to see them work.

These Imperials and their owners always had an aura of exclusivity to them. This one is very handsome in gold.

For some reason, I always think of these are being banker's cars. Discrete styling only for those 'in the know'.

Both of my parents were prominent physicians in Southern California in the 1960s, and I had an “Aunt,“ who was like Lucille Ball in “Mame“ and who was the founder of a large (and still extant) retail chain. She and her Dentist husband would each get a new Imperial, whenever a new model year was released, both always the top of the line, his black and hers white, and completely loaded, and delivered to their home by the dealers with much fanfare. She commented to my mom one time that she had “sold” so many Imperials for the dealer, that they paid just a percentage of the normal price for the cars. The best part, is that she had grown up on a farm in like Iowa or somewhere like that, driving farm equipment, so she could drive this boat around like nobody’s business, and parallel park it, and back it into spaces, and do 3-point upturns, back up driveways and stuff like that… Thanks for sharing a beautiful piece of mechanical art from my childhood.

Hey Adam, thanks for the 67 Imperial review. As usual, good job pointing out it's features, highlighted with your inventful comments. I owned a 66 Imperial Crown 4 door hardtopin 66,it came standard with the 440 engine on Imperials for the first time. Mine was light silver over silver cloth seats trimmed with black leather. The 64 through 66 Imperials are my favorite model years. All the Chryslers From 1965 on, Chryslers show Elwood Engle's styling influences. Arguably the 64 - 66 model year really resemble his 61 Lincolns. He was very talented, as stated, the 66 Imperials had the Lincolinesk looks but with Engles creativity he found a way to inject some Chrysler's signature family DNA in them. When you look at any 60s era Chryslers, square in it's headlights they all look back at you with a bit innocence and modestly. The look is actually adorable, when you drive one, then you feel it's confidence. I know, that sounds crazy, but when you are a Gearhead all your life, you can see the cars personality, and for me, cars are more like a living entity than a machine. But maybe that's just me. I do belive we need Chrysler to be part of the American auto industry. Chrysler somehow is needed to keep GM and Ford in check. And to be honest I love the name "Chrysler" I like how the namesounds and looks and I love to say " the Chrysler Corporation. Even though that's not it's full name anymore as it's part of Stellantis. To me it will always be the Chrysler Corporation. In any event you brought us a beautiful 67 Imperial, and I really like that you did.

Had a '68 4dr. hdtp. I like the '68 grill a lot better The whole car is quite tasteful, inside & out. Kind of architectural like in a Stately Washington DC Capital building kind of way. One of the very best cars I've ever owned. Killer quality and underrated.

Smartly styled throughout.

My Dad owned a beautiful 1966 Imperial Crown 4 door sedan from '66 to '70, dark blue with light blue leather interior. In my opinion the nicest car he ever bought. He had some Cadillacs before that , which were very nice, but the Imperial was just stunningly beautiful and rode like a dream. I was just a kid so never got to drive it unfortunately

The grille, with its multiple elements, strikes me as a work of art. So sad that low sales forced a cheaper, much less imaginative grille for '68.

Absolutely love the Imperials, especially from 1964 until the end.

My favorite chyrsler, the Imp.

In my youth a neighbor had a four door that left an impression on me. What a ride! I would occasionally get to be a passenger. The '67 and '68 styling is among my favorite mopars.

Beautiful car! Thanks.

How Brett Reed rolls in the daytime when he's not in the Rolling Arsenal at night !!! 👀😎😂

I agree that it looks very nice. These were the kind of cars that I often overlooked when I was growing up in the sixties and seventies, but I now appreciate them very much. I don't know that I've ever seen a convertible version. The ragtop really enhances the bold styling, especially from the rear view. If I remember correctly, the hardtops had rather angular and severe roof lines which didn't appeal to me so much. It would be cool to see this car with the top up to see how its roof line compares with the hardtop.

That gold Imperial was gleamin' at this show. I didn't know the convertibles were so low in numbers. This year Imperial reminds me of the one Jay has and the red one used in a plane chase in classic movie Charlie Varrick.

Slab Side Imperial’s interiors were so much nicer than the later Fuselage generation.

Looks just like a Continental…..beautiful as well. Great video Adam

Those Imperials are stunning.

Wow! What a gorgeous car!

A few years ago, I almost bought one of the few hundred 1966 Imperial convertibles ever built, but it had some bondo that I was uncomfortable with, so I passed on it. That was the last year of the full frame Imperials, which kind of also had a unitized body simultaneously, so it was an absolute tank of a car. The convertible tipped the scales at 5400 pounds, with it's giant X-frame. The dash boasted 100-year-old walnut trim. I believe it was far superior to Cadillac and would give Lincoln a run for its money (though I'd give my right arm for a '67 Lincoln four-door convertible).

Thanks!

Oh Adam such a beautiful car, my Uncle Bill had one of these as late as 1975, it was a 2 door Hard top, same colors! So nice, I'd love to own one!

My old boss used to have a 1967 Crown Coupe. It was a beautiful car. Power everything including the vent windows. These also had a rear passenger door handle on the passenger side so you could open the door from the rear seat. Also when you tilted the seat forward it would move all the way forward. And like the radio the HVAC controls were hidden as well.

That 'gold' [or whatever they called it] is beautiful. All 'big 4' had this same tone of gold and it's always been my absolute favorite color of all of them (the medium blues and maroons would be second favorites).

In this year the Lincoln Continental was still so much its own sole make, as Imperial had been since 1960, that when these Chrysler-based ones came out with just a stretched hood, they were obviously just that. The '60-66 Imperials were, like that '61-69 Lincoln, visibly unique. However, by 1966 the old Imperial was really long in the tooth, particularly with its very high cowl and that made it hard for women to use them and see well. The '67 New Yorker was a very nice car and if I were wanting Mopar in this model year and cost wasn't an object, I don't know which I'd have picked. The dashboard for the '67 Imperial with its wood worked better than the bronze-finished one in '68 IMHO.

How most Imperials👑 were sold: Initially used by owner, his wife, or high powered sales manager, then sold as a Demonstrator (for the price of a New Yorker) once it hit 3000 miles.

Imperials of this era just were not viewed to have the luxury or class of Cadillac or the design features of Lincoln. You really had to be a MOPAR guy to lay down the cash for these plus they had weak resale and this was an era of frequent trade in’s

I owned a 1967 Crown Coupe -some unique features were the Budd 4 piston disc front breaks - the steering column was made by Saginaw Steering and resembles very much the 1966 Cadillac steering column/ wheel - one weakness in the Imperial column was the nylon ears that held the turn signal stalk down would snap off - we in the Imperial Owners club often wondered if GM had made them that way on purpose. The other flaw was the Holley 4 bbl carburetor which was a nightmare - I replaced mine with an Edelbrock which was a stunning improvement. I used 100 octane low lead gas with some Marvel Mystery Oil thrown in - ran a test on a Sunday morning (5:00 o'clock) on Central Expressway in Dallas, TX with a cop friend of mine - it hit 140 mph before I chickened out.

Very Handsome car

All 1966 and 1967 440 engines were what they called, "hand balanced" to make them super smooth, to compete with the Cadillac and Lincoln engines. This practice ended with the 1968 model year and the 440 engines then got the standard factory balancing that the rest of the engines got.

That was a beautiful car. I remember when it was new. I was a kid in junior high school. They messed it up with the 68 front grill and then came the bad old days from 1969 with that lean burn carburetion that nearly killed Chrysler. In '69, my father bought a Plymouth Fury lll, it ran horribly. In '83, I bought a 79 Volare - also ran like crap. In '91, I bought an 89 Acclaim. That was the first Chrysler product since our 64 Valient that actually ran good. Then, I moved overseas and sold it. Wish I'd taken it with me. It was a nice car too.

I never understood why the Imperial never became wildly successful. I've always loved these cars. I was a little kid and teen when Imperial was its own brand. I remember asking my Dad sometime around 1968 why he didn't consider an Imperial. An honest question. His response was, "You better be grateful for our god damned Buicks." There was no room for debate.

I think Chrysler marketed these cars not so much for making a profit, but as an advertisement to their cheaper cars. There was a slight similarity in overall styling theme. So, perhaps you could only afford a Newport, but looking at this car in the showroom made you think that one day ... As for the 440, it does really well with dual exhaust, which was not offered in 67, and rare option in 68, but many cars now have dual exhaust. A cam upgrade and holding the low gear manually will give you astonishing acceleration. Of course, you can cruise at speeds that the "muscle cars" of the era could only dream of.
