SuperJonas Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I hope the 60K includes the towel, the tablecloth or whatever supposedly is protecting the dash pad! I am all for Imperials commanding better prices comparatively speaking but this is a bit much; a nice, apparently unrestored example but 60K, it's not. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing the seller is charging extra for the "unobtainium" emblems... 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Roth Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Exceptionally nice looking, and maybe exceptionally optimistically priced. I am in awe of this era of Imperial, and still regret the 1958 convertible that got away, but this one seems a stretch - maybe an example of "Throw it on the wall and see if it sticks"? or "Run it up the Flagpole and see who Salutes"?

I'll go farther: It doesn't merely seem a bit overpriced. It's vastly overpriced. One dealer I know called such ludicrous prices--seen far too often today--"fishing." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You obviously don’t know anything!!” Since late 1956 when the '57s came out, I've been in awe of the 1957-1958 Imperial - especially the convertible a former girlfriend's dad had me drive after he saw my '49 Pontiac convertible. While I absolutely love the styling, even in 4-door sedan guise, of the '57 & '58, to me the '59's grill looks "clunky" - heavy and less well styled. Is this Imperial, a 4-door sedan, really a bargain at less than half the price of a dramatically more desirable make and model convertible? Let the market make that decision - and maybe it already has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) Here is a good illustration of value: A significantly better example, even in the same color, recently sold on Ebay for $30,300. I like this better example. Here are the link and a few pictures from that sale: https://www.ebay.com/itm/325221717724?hash=item4bb8b996dc%3Ag%3ALQUAAOSwTShin5ie&vxp=mtr&nma=true&si=4pwkgg931ArrGk1T5uhrQ6lbD0I%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Edited July 24, 2022 by John_S_in_Penna (see edit history) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
