The Crown Coupe -- an extremely rare car(only 2,656 were made) --was the Chrysler Corporation's flagship luxury coupe in 1968 and was aworthy competitor of the Cadillac Eldorado and theLincoln Mark Seriesfor the upper echelon of the American car market. This particular example ispresented with a glassy gold finish and a black vinyl top, veryelegant combination that exudes the class and style that buyerswithdiscriminating taste were looking for in '68.And it stillhits the mark.
TheCrown Coupe is a real pleasure to drive, t fires up eagerly and issilky smooth rolling down the highway.

And they drove cars that are stillseen as the benchmark of style and craftsmanship even today.
