IML: 1957 Chrysler 300 C Hemi

[Drake Rickertsen <ct_drakeula@xxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings,

 

    A friend of mine has a lead on a 1957 Chrylser 300 C Series with a Hemi engine that is for sale. I've been told everything is all original, never been restored, still runs and is an excellent project car. The model is either a sedan or hardtop not a convertible 

     First off, is this considered an Imperial or a Chrysler? What's the difference between an Imerial and a Chrysler? And are these cars fairly rare or pretty common?

 

Any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated

 

Thanks!
