Desire a classic luxury car that stands apart from the herd? MotoeXotica Classic Cars has just the vehicle for you; we are pleased to offer this incredible 1962 Chrysler Imperial Crown Southampton Sedan. This example was made on April 27, 1962 and has spent a great deal of time in southern California and currently has a California title.

Finished in a unique color, Rosewood Iridescent, this Imperial’s paint and restored trim are in excellent overall condition. The car’s windows are clear and intact and its lights are in great overall shape, including the freestanding headlights and “gun-sight” tail lamps. Nineteen sixty-two marked the first year of the finless big Chryslers. The previous model year brought a wholly new front end with headlights on short stalks in cut-away front fenders (a classical throwback favored by Chrysler Head Stylist Virgil Exner and commonly used on 1930s Chryslers.)

This Imperial rolls on new Coker Classic wide whitewalls, size 235/75R15 at all four corners and surrounding factory wheel covers. The tires and wheels are in good shape. All of this Crown’s body panels are solid and straight, the engine bay is very tidy, and the distinctive and massive chrome bumpers look great.

Under the hood is Chrysler’s 413 CID Wedgehead V-8 four-valve engine and four-barrel carburetor, comes complete with gold air cleaner housing and is backed by its famous Torqueflite A727 three-speed automatic transmission. In this car, the transmission is not controlled via shift lever but by a pod of pushbuttons to the left of the steering wheel. Driver convenience features included power steering, power brakes, power windows and power door locks.

Inside, the Crown features a restored interior in overall excellent order with red leather seats that look great overall but with a few minor blemishes visible upon close inspection. The car also features new, matching red loop carpeting. The contrasting white headliner is in very good order and makes the interior feel a little more airy. The Cocoa instrument panel, with its full instrumentation, has an interesting backstory. Despite the annual styling changes, all 1960-63 Chrysler models featured a similar space age dashboard. Dashboard lighting was electro-luminescent, which used no incandescent lamps: electricity running through a five-layer laminate caused the phosphorescent paint to glow in the dark. Chrysler called it “Panelescent.” The effect was surprisingly modern, with its glowing green face and bright red needles. The red leather, two-spoke steering wheel is unorthodox as well. The steering wheel was squared-off at top and bottom for better legroom and a clearer view through the windshield when the wheel is in the straight-ahead position. The inner door panels echo the rest of the interior’s color scheme and are in very good order. Competing the interior is a factory AM radio.

Tailfins were largely truncated in 1962, topped with free-standing “gun-sight” taillights, but these were elongated, streamlined affairs. The front grille was split, as in 1955-56, and a large round Eagle hood ornament was fitted for the first time. The 1962 models had a new, slimmer TorqueFlite A727 automatic transmission, which allowed a smaller transmission “hump” in the floor. This provided greater comfort for passengers in the center seat up front. The 1960-63 models were also united by a distinctive side trim that started above the headlights and that ran at a slight downward angle almost to the end of the rear fender that was undercut by a slight indent in the sides from the front until just before the rear wheel housing.

Competition to this Chrysler in 1962 included Buick’s Electra 225 sedan, Cadillac’s Sedan de Ville, Chrysler’s own New Yorker Firepower 380 four-door sedan, Lincoln’s Continental four-door sedan, Mercury’s Monterey Marauder 390 four-door sedan and Oldsmobile’s 98 Town Sedan.

This car is currently located at our facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on the odometer shows 48,303 miles. It is sold as is, where is, on a clean and clear, mileage exempt title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!!

The Vehicle is being sold by a Licensed State of Missouri Dealer (Motoexotica Classic Cars, LLC). You will need to check with your local government for any special rules regarding these older vehicles passing any inspections. We will not be held liable for any vehicle not passing inspection.

The vehicle is offered with a right to a personal inspection by any bidder or agent.

Feedback MUST be left before the vehicle is released to the buyer/agent/shipper. If you are the high bidder and unable to inspect said vehicle before auction close, you or an agent will have seven (7) days to inspect said vehicle after the close of auction. I encourage a physical inspection strongly to avoid any misunderstandings or representations.

All disputes arising out of or resulting from this sale shall be finally determined by binding arbitration in St. Louis, Missouri in accordance with the commercial rules of arbitration of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration shall be carried out by one or more arbitrators in accordance with said rules. Any award shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction in the same manner as judgments.

A Refundable deposit in the amount of $500.00 must be received within Twenty-Four (24) hours of the auctions close either by Master Card, Visa, Discover or PayPal (Credit Cards or PayPal for deposit only NOT for full payment).

We will not be responsible for buyer’s remorse or problems found to said vehicle once they have left our property. We are just being realistic; most of the cars we deal in are vintage and by their very nature will need TLC and some degree of attention sooner or later. These are not new cars and your expectation should not be of a perfect, new car.

The vehicle is available for inspection prior to bidding. If you are the high bidder and unable to inspect said vehicle before auction close, you or an agent will have (7) days to inspect said vehicle after the close of auction. I encourage a physical inspection strongly to avoid any misunderstandings or representations. All used vehicles should be assumed to have some degree of wear. No vehicle is perfect to everyone. Each vehicle has its strengths, styles, tendencies and shortcomings. Therefore, despite our best efforts to verify a vehicle’s mechanical condition, we are not able to warranty a manufacturer’s workmanship or previous owner’s diligence in care. It is for this reason that all vehicles are sold ”WHERE/IS, AS/IS”. We have described the above mentioned vehicle to the best of our ability. However, with all classic and exotic vehicles, the condition is subjective. Please be advised that no oral or written statements concerning any vehicle constitutes a representation or warranty of the condition of the said vehicle.
