1967 Crown Coupe California Survivor

Purchased in late 1966 in Stockton, California.

This car was originally designated by Chrysler to be 1966. The 67s and 68s are arriving slow but sure on the collector market and are finally being recognized as perhaps the most beautifully styled Imperials of the 1960s. Truly the last great Imperials. My 67 has a strong smooth 440 V8 and is nicely equipped with the usual power options. The 24,000 miles are believed to be original and all who have viewed it at local car shows agree abot it's survivor status.

Interior is near mint. Front seats have some minor cracking. Dash-steering wheel and column, headliner, rear package shelf, garnish moulding, visors, rear side panels, carpet and pedals are near mint to mint original. The walnut overlay throught is near mint to mint. Front door panels are near mint original. Hood ornament and all other emblems/badges and scripts are mint original. Glass is excellent to near mint original. The desirable factory original color (and very California) daffodil yellow has a professional, better than factory repaint and is near flawless and nicely matched with a black interior and a mint original black quarter vinyl top. Front parking lamps and lenses are mint original. Original engine bay can use a cleaning and detailing. New correct whitewall tires.
