Got a 1959 Imperial Crown (middle of 3 model line up).
Time to stop buying cars. New garage will be full.
What prompted us to look at Imperial is those magnificant fins. Plus it was close to home. Around 30 mile distance. 1000+ mile distance is typical. Occasionally something is in SF Bay area at 800ish.
No overhead cost of traveling to see it and of transport cost getting it home. As was with Edsel wagon.
Factory: a/c, power seat & windows. All work.
Rebuilt 413 4V. Rebuilt 3-speed automatic.
Rechromed bumpers. New brakes. Perfect glass.
Needs: door locks fixed, gas gauge fixed (sender?), tires.
Minor rust on lower panels. Repair during winter.
Will take to suspension shop for inspection, replace as needed.
We now have these three land yachts.
1959 Length Width
Cadillac 225 81.5
Imperial 226 81
Lincoln 227 80.1
Some day, with friends help can drive all three to a car show.
