[Closed] Check out this unique Brooklin.280473667330

It may be unique...

I don't think it looks nearly as impressive as the seller does. The convertible boot cover is not close to a correct fit. The visors don't look so good either. And mostly, there was no 300 convertible made by Chrysler. I wish the seller good luck in his auction.

One more reason why it is unique.

Chrysler dealers had them on the showroom floor made by custom builders.

I never knew that. Thanks for the education!

I think I have seen recent pics of an "Imperial convertible" from 1955 or 1956 which was converted from a New Yorker when new. I wonder if any of the 300 custom converts have survived? I do appreciate learning about these cars. They have always apparently been under my radar. Thanks Shel!

David Crowe I heard there is one survivor.

Driven weekends in Socal by an unknown celebrity.

Looks like a Windsor convert that someone slapped on an Imperial grille.

The C-300 had solid tan upholstery.

Hemmings Classic Cars a few months ago had a feature on the only '55 Imperial convertible, a hand-built job for the CEO of Chrysler. I don't have the magazine at hand, but it was a beautiful blend of a New Yorker convertible, Imperial hardware, and a really special interior. Chrysler used it in car shows before turning it over to its new owner.

As for this "special," I think I'll not bid.

(later) My goof. I looked again and finally saw this was supposed to be a 300 convertible. Oh well, it gave me a chance to write about a favorite magazine.

Do you think the red print is big enough?

I found I didn't need my glasses.

Not only did I not need glasses, I got a terrific headache. My word!

Sublety is not in this seller's vocabulary.

I am just Thankful it was not anything I wrote this time that gave you a headache LOL !

Thanks, Randy. You're cool! Did you check that email listing? Wow!
