I bought the new reissue of the '59 Imperial, and seeing the shallow interior there was no way I would build it as a convertible. Instead I bought a AMT '57 Chrysler 300-C , and used the chassis ect to improve the '59 Imperial. Being that the car would now have an engine I decided to open the hood as well. The '57 also gave the inner fenders ect to the '59 Imperial as well. I used the dash of the '59 but with the steering parts from the '57 added to it.

Nice conversion. Have plans to do the same someday. While travelling in Cuba I stopped to look at a very well preserved Imperial beside the highway. The owner asked if I had any spark plugs !!

Great build and conversion. I remember those beauties in my younger days. They gave the meaning to the term 'land yacht'.
