This auction is for a 1964 Imperial LeBaron Coupe.From the early years of Chrysler Corporation's history, the Imperial nameplate was used to designate
the finest car of the line. Beginning with the 1955 model year, Imperial became a separate marque
unto itself, with a unique model lineup for each year. Thus, the Imperial nameplate was treated
as a separate make from the regular Chrysler lineup from 1955 until 1975. Unfortunately, the
Imperial ceased production in 1975.
The Imperials of that twenty year span are recognized among collectors as some of the finest American
automobiles ever produced. They represent an ideal of style, luxury, comfort, and excess which has not
been duplicated since that time.
Imperial's styling, on the other hand, was subjected to constant experimentation.
Each model year brought a new look.
"The LeBaron nameplate was introduced in the Imperial line for 1957. It was used to denote the highest model
of Imperial. The midrange model was the Imperial Crown, while the 'entry' model was the Imperial Custom.
The LeBaron model was used in the Imperial line from 1957 to 1975, when Imperial ceased to be."
Up for auction is this luxurious Art Deco 1964 Imperial LeBaron Coupe.
This automobile represented the finest Chrysler had to offer in terms of style, luxury and
comfort. The powertrain is an Overhead Valve 90 Degree V-8 engine producing 340 horsepower
