This is our project. It is a 1957 Imperial Crown Southampton 4 dr hardtop. It features a 392 Chrysler Fire Power Hemi and 727 Torque Flite push-button automatic transmission. Interesting features and options include: power windows, power seat, power antenna, Solex glass, Flite Sweep deck lid, and Crown trim package. The car has been repainted incorrectly. The original color is Copper Brown Metallic with the forward section of the roof a Desert Beige. The body has a fair bit of rust along the lower section and the interior is somewhat shabby. Glass is perfect, all the trim is there, and it runs.
These are some of the particulars:
