We believe that this 1955 car is an Imperial C-70 (designating a longer wheelbase) limousine, of which just 172 were made during the first year of the ‘Forward Look’.
What’s more, of these 172 we think it’s one of only 45 8-passenger Imperial sedans (designating that there’s no dividing screen between the front and rear cabins) ever built.
If we’re right, this car is extremely rare.
In common with many vehicles from the vendor’s collection, the car comes with very little history and no service records.
We know that the VIN is C551084.
We believe that the engine is Chrysler’s 331 cubic inch Hemi V8.
We know that in 2016/17 it was insured in the name of a man with addresses in Texas and Montana.
We know that, today, the odometer reads 60,544 miles.
