Imperial Perk









Get my secretary on the horn with Chrysler! Boy, how times have changed. Apparently, back in 1962, if one's vocation was an attorney 0f "eminent" status, you were entitled to some really nice perks from the Chrysler Corporation. According to this ad (above), they would be calling me to specify an "hour of appointment."  The dealer would deliver the car to my home or office, where he would "brief me on the operation of it's controls," (We're talking about a top of the line Imperial here)... "Then the Imperial is yours, not for a quick drive around the block, but for as long as you need to make a full and private evaluation of Imperial motoring." Hmm... let's see, how about I get back to you in a couple of weeks after I see what this baby can really do?

The Bentley dealer in Bellevue, Washington posted some photos of this nicely preserved 62' Imperial they have up for sale. $18,800 and it's yours. Me, I think I like that original attorney's arrangement.
