1950 Chrysler Imperial. In good condition with all systems in good working order. All gauges, radio, power windows power brakes, built in back up lights work as they should.
A brief history of the car.
1951-1975
Was originally purchased in Inianapolis by the owner of Capitol Glass Company, Ralph Reibeling on 3-22-1951. The original owner kept very good servicing records. For the first 7 years he took it in to the Chrysler Agency every month for servicing. Even after he purchased another vehicle for his main car, he still took it to the dealer for transmission rebuilding.
1975-1999
The second owner rarely drove the car but had the engine overhauled when the head gasket failed and leaked coolant into the cylinders(12,000 miles back). Sometime during this ownership the car was repainted. In 1986 the car was used in the movie "Hoosier's" with Gene Hackman.
1999-2007
The 3rd owner did little more than keep it in dry storage and roadworthy. In their 8 years of ownership it was driven less than 4,000 miles.
2007-
I purchased the car from the 3rd owner in Wolcottville, Indiana.
The car is all original except for the repaint from between 25 and 35 years ago and the front seat cushion and the package tray was recovered in matching original type wool broadcloth. It has had the oil pan removed, cleaned and replaced with fresh gaskets. The fuel pump and water pump have been replaced. The relays in each door for the power windows have been cleaned and serviced for worry free operation of the power windows(fully electric power windows, an industry first). It has the Prestomatic 4 speed fluid drive "Tip Toe" automatic transmission that has never given any trouble and is effortless to drive.
The electrical system is the original 6 volt system with original bulls eye headlights, electric wipers.
This car is ready to be driven anywhere. We have used the car for car club tours(both AACA and CCCA). It has just had a though inspection and is ready for spring.
Please no scammers or international sales. No texts or emails so please call 785...231...7125 if you have any questions.

1990 Chrysler Imperial is a forgettable American luxury sedan
Thu, Mar 17 2016MotorWeek's Retro Review series often lets us be nostalgic about vehicles from the '80s and '90s, but this time the show looks back on the 1990 Chrysler Imperial. With atrocious styling and middling performance, it might be better that we collectively forget about this luxury sedan. When this Imperial hit the scene, the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class were entrenched in the luxury sedan segment. Japanese automakers like Lexus and Infiniti were also making waves. The Chrysler just seems old fashioned compared to the rest, and its landau roof didn''t fit the competition's modern styling. MotorWeek also complains of poor craftsmanship and bad visibility out of the back. A 3.3-liter V6 with 147 horsepower doesn't provide much acceleration, either. Chrysler understood the demands of its aging customers for the Imperial. The sedan didn't offer anything class-leading, but there were a comfy seats and a floaty suspension to get drivers around town. In the modern world of luxury vehicles, which bristle with active safety tech and advanced infotainment system, the Imperial seems like a dinosaur. Watch Motorweek's clip to get a better understanding why there's not much nostalgia for this American sedan. Related Video:

Fiat Chrysler wins top Total Quality Award for first time
Mon, Jul 20 2015The Strategic Vision Total Quality Awards are 20 years old in 2015, and Chrysler has never topped the awards before. Until now, that is. Fiat Chrysler takes the overall award on the corporate level with six segment leaders from Fiat, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram. The Fiat 500 won Small Multi-Function Car, the 500e won Small Alternative Powertrain, the Dodge Challenger tied at the top in the Specialty Coupe category alongside the very un-coupe Mini Cooper Countryman, the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited took the Entry SUV category, the Dodge Durango won in Mid-Size SUV, and Ram took the overall in Best Non-Luxury Brand. The accolade means FCA has gone from one segment winner in 2010 to overall victory in five years. Cars have gotten so good, says Strategic Vision, that it is harder than ever to win. In fact, says the group, 18 years ago 85 percent of all vehicle brands had more than half a problem per vehicle. This year, no brand has more than half a problem per vehicle. The organization measures "over 155 specific aspects of the customer's experience," and scores are based on input from more than 46,000 customers. Other notables in and near the winner's circle include Volkswagen and General Motors, who tied for second place on the corporate scale, one point behind FCA. The Mini Cooper Roadster scored the highest of any model, the Corvette Stingray Convertible and Coupe scored the second- and third-highest. The Chevrolet Colorado is the first domestic Standard Pickup winner in more than ten years, and the Nissan Titan carried the Full-Size Pickup category. The press release below has all the details on how winners and losers are selected, and the full list of automakers and how they finished. "The Customer's 'Total' Experience Defines Quality, Fiat Chrysler Scores Highest in Total Quality," says Strategic Vision The 2015 Total Quality Awards® SAN DIEGO, Friday, July 17, 2015 — Unknown to many, when some consumer research firms rank a car company's quality performance they often do so by simply "counting problems." In the past, this may have been acceptable, but in today's modern and efficient manufacturing world the difference between the worst brand and best brand is LESS than half-a-problem per vehicle. Thus, any "quality ranking" based on this method is severely lacking in the complete picture of the "Total" Quality experience that customers actually use to judge their product ownership.
