Can someone help find information?
Hey fellow car buffs, I have a question which has been nagging me for the last two years. My late dad owned a '58 Chrysler Imperial -one of three in the country at that time. It was an all original USA LHD car and had a v8 trans in it. (Could be a 413) My dad sold it somewhere in the late seventies and all I have is ONE little polaroid. I REALLY want to find it, even if its just to have a look at, these Chrysler are of extreme value so Im guessing its in the hands of a capable collector. If not... SO any one have any idea?

Found a early Sixties 440 New Yorker on Junkmail but that is it - the big Chryslers seldom Change hands in the public forum

It's never junk, it's just a part you're not currently using

Ok, some more info that might help. This was one of three special imports which a very rich business man bough new in the early sixties, my dad got it some time later at an auction. As far as I know its a two door, if only I could remember what motor it had... (330, 392, 413?) I do remeber my dad saying that its the only one in the country with 'that' engine. Ill scan the photo when I find it, maybe that helps some more.

Hi Jay
I recall spotting a black 58/9 Imperial probably 15yrs ago in Jules str Jhb, it had a 392 Firepower in it ......it was a 2 door. Btw it wasn't at a dealer.
