[Chrysler300] Unique Imperial

["Rich Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

As with the 1955-56 Chrysler 300's, Chrysler didn't produce any standard
body Imperial convertibles in 1955-56.  Too bad in both cases--would have
been easy.  Since then, some New Yorker and Windsor convertibles have been
converted to 300 styling.  Chrysler did produce some special 4-dr open
parade phaetons, perhaps rebodied from a few years earlier.  For further
information on these first cousins to the Chrysler 300's (same chops and
similar guts, components and styling), see:
http://www.imperialclub.com/Rare/Phaetons/1950s/Discussion.htm

This site shows pix of the '56 parade phaeton as seen in several movies,
including 1959 Lil' Abner:  http://tinyurl.com/d66jlt


This site shows 8 pages of 1955-2009 Chrysler 300's in the movies:

All of this iron has always been impressive and adds lots of flash to some
pretty boring movies.  One reason I like to watch old movies is to try and
identify the old iron in the background.  

Any one of you ever have your 300 in the movies?

The Imperial Club website is a good resource for some 300 questions and
background.

C-300'ly,

minutes of fame.  There is lots of archived film of these brutes kicking
butt in 1955 at NASCAR races!)

            Hi All, Just noticed a very unusual 55 or 56 Turquoise Imperial
Convert, limo like car, in the movie "Lil Abner". Anyone ever seen this
Beautiful Brute before ? Mac ,  Windy Sanford, Fl.
