Auction Sales History<\/h4>\n

\"1961<\/a><\/p>\n

1961 Imperial Crown Convertible 9214109309<\/a> – sold for $148,500<\/b> The Imperial Crown Convertible offered here was acquired in Texas in 1994 by noted MoPar enthusiast and restorer Richard Palmer, who commissioned a professional restoration that took over a decade to complete. Refinished in the spectacular but correct color of Dubonnet Maroon, it is set off by pure white leather upholstery. Its \u201cWedge\u201d engine and Torqueflite transmission were rebuilt in the course of the restoration, along with other mechanical components. It is equipped with the full range of luxury options one would have expected from such a car in 1961, including power brakes, power steering, power-swiveling front seats, a power top, an original AM radio discreetly upgraded to AM\/FM capabilities, and the most desirable feature of factory air conditioning\u2014a cool touch for a cool car.
