In 2013, RM Sotheby's (formerly RM Auctions) offered some fine examples of automotive excellence on the grounds of the Arizona Biltmore Hotel. Folks of a certain age remember the now retired nameplate of Imperial by Chrysler emblematic of sheer luxury and big fins. This one is a 1960 Imperial Crown Convertible — Series P1Y-M. 350 bhp, 413 cu. in. V-8 engine, Torqueflite three-speed automatic transmission, independent front suspension with torsion bars and semi-floating rear axle with tapered semi-elliptic leaf springs, and four-wheel power-operated hydraulic drum brakes. Wheelbase: 129 in. As before, the 1960 Imperial earned many positive reviews, including that of Motor Life, which stated, “It handled and rode better than anything else of its size on the road. For all its mass, it feels like a light car, with the Torqueflite transmission, power steering, and power brakes doing everything they can to eliminate labor from driving. Compared to last year's Imperial, the 1960 is quieter, more comfortable, and even easier on the eye.” In particular, the Imperial Crown Convertible epitomized the glamour and progressive spirit of the era. Weighing nearly 5, 000 pounds and priced from $5, 774, just 618 of these majestic cars were originally built, with each survivor being highly coveted today. Expected selling price: $135K - $165K. Actual selling price: $154K.
