She was such an elegant automobile. Glad you are saving her

The Chrysler 300s of that vintage set NASCAR on it's ear with Tim and Fronty Flock at the wheel. They were just about unbeatable on dirt or pavement and they used the same Hemi 331 that your Imperial has. It's great to see someone cares enough about them to fix them up. The closest I ever came was a 60 Chrysler 300F with the 413 wedge and the 2 x 4 long ram manifolds. It was the first car I ran the 1/4 mile in and would only turn mid 16s ( this in 1963 ) but I swear by the speedo it could do 150 mph on the flat. 😎🏁

nice to see someone going over everything before cranking up

That must have been quite a beautiful automobile when new. And factory A/C no less! Thank you for showing her a little love! 😄

Back then Cars were made to cruise the interstates. It was cheaper to drive across America that it was to fly. There were motor lodges and pancake houses.

Amazing car. I have the sister to this car. 55 Chrysler, New Yorker, Town and Country wagon. Same engine I believe. Same basic shape. My floors are solid but the body is in rough shape with a good bit of rust. Needs to hit the road again as does your car. Best of luck!

I love it when we car people see something in old cars that others think are completely gone ...... we bring them back ❤

Great video, I subscribed and gave you a thumbs up! Back in high school (1967) my buddy drove a 1957 Imperial that he paid $50 bucks for. It had the coolest dash and speedometer I ever saw in a car, it looked like an old Seeburg juke box lit up at night, it glowed almost like a blacklight. The speedometer was a round dome and the indicator would come around in a circle inside the globe. It was something to see. The old Hemi ran well too. I always liked the look of the headlights that set outside of the fenders in individual chrome headlight buckets. They don't build like they used to, you could probably build five KIA's out of one of these old Imperials. Personally, I would rather have the Imperial, you can keep the five KIA's. Thanks for taking the time to make this video!

Love watching these vids and seeing the progress people make and the joy they have when they get them up and running again. You gotta love an early Hemi. 250 Hp 331 cid "FirePower" V-8. Good luck with it.

This car definitely deserves a second chance.

What a beautifully put together car needs saving runs like a top well done mate well impressed 😊

Sounds really good just needs to be driven

I love your style and presentation, this car is beautiful .

Nice job; 55-56 Imperials are pretty desirable. I used to own 2 1960 Imperials.

1955 Imperial; one of my all time favorite cars!

Too bad many end up this way. Less than 7500 of the four door Imperials were built (plus 3318 2 door hardtops) It's a one year only car with some one year only parts. Until recently, kits for the master cylinder and power brake unit was not available anywhere but they are now.

No words spoken or needed. Well done.

VERY COOL AND AWESOME CAR. HAPPY YOU GOT HER RUNNING.👍❤🙏💪🇺🇸. SHE IS WORTH SAVING, AND I BET SHE WAS LOVED BY ITS OWNERS. THAT IS A CRUISER FOR SURE💪❤. SUPER COMFORTABLE INTERIOR👍

Thank you for NOT calling it a Chrysler Imperial. Lots of work yet to do, but a cool car!

An original A/C car..wow. I wish there were some old pictures of that car back in it's day.
