With understated elegance and a well-deserved reputation for engineering excellence, the Imperial nameplate topped the Chrysler product line from 1926 through 1975. In 1954, Imperial became its own separate marque under the Chrysler Corporation, further distinguishing it from the rest of the Chrysler line up. With lines penned by famous designer Virgil Exner, the Chrysler/Imperial brand had a stylish edge over the other American offerings of the mid 1950’s.
Imperials were sold in two different layouts, the overtly spacious long-wheelbase “C70” “Crown Imperial” and the sporty, yet stylish “C69” Newport coupe or sedan. Both cars stood out amongst their competition due to their incredible build quality and powerful engines. The 331 cubic inch V8 with hemispherical combustion chambers (hemi) and four-barrel carburetor produced 250 horsepower. This V8 engine was dubbed “FirePower” and would later be known by the nomenclature of its combustion chambers, the Hemi V8. When combined with the “PowerFlite” automatic transmission with dash-mounded controls, the 1955 Imperial provided incredible performance with ease of drivability. The less common Newport Coupe was referred to as the two-door hardtop in factory literature. Production numbers indicate that only 3,418 were built in this configuration.
The 1955 Chrysler Imperial 2 Door Newport Hardtop offered here is finished in stunning black and Platinum Rod with an impeccably kept original gold and white interior. This well maintained Imperial has been driven just 27,669 miles from new and is equipped with many standard features including power steering and power brakes. This example has optional accessories including a four-way power front seat, power windows, and signal-seeking radio. This mostly original Chrysler bares some patina, which further enhances its charm and we are proud to offer it to the most sophisticated collector or enthusiast who appreciates the potential of this great American classic.

Daniel Schmitt & Company has described the above mentioned vehicle to the best of our ability. However, as with all pre-owned automobiles, the condition is subjective, and we recommend that the potential buyer fly out to inspect as well as test drive any of our vehicles before finalizing their purchase. If it is not feasible for you to personally perform an inspection, we will gladly help facilitate an inspection by an independent service center of your choice and will make delivery arrangements of the vehicle for this purpose. All vehicles are sold in "AS IS" condition. Extended warranty options are available on most vehicles. Please be advised that no oral statements concerning any vehicle constitutes a representation or warranty of said vehicle. Our goal is to provide you with the best service and buying experience as possible. All purchases include an additional $285 processing fee which covers the processing of paperwork, pre-vehicle delivery costs, FedEx shipping fees, and a 30-day temporary registration plate so that the vehicle can be driven prior to the title transfer. (ATTENTION INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please be aware that you will be responsible for the Federal Reserve fee(s) charged for all incoming wires).

In regards to winning bidders and Buy It Now customers: All winning bidders and Buy It Now bidders are encouraged to fly out and personally inspect the vehicle.

Feedback must be left at the time of delivery upon final inspection.

Pertaining to non-eBay winners: Anyone who has provided a deposit but whose purchase is still pending, please note that said vehicle will not be held and is subject to being sold at any time until all contingencies are removed and the purchase order is signed.
