Hudsy Wudsy Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Except for the "B" pillar, it probably left the factory looking like this: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deac Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) I have always like these South Hamptons, I love gauges and the simplistic exterior design; an understated elegance! But I would get rid of the exhaust tips and do something with that cheap looking under-dash AC unit! I would think the price is fair if it lives up to the condition the seller says it's in.

John_S_in_Penna Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 "Original color was coral (pink) with a white top," writes the seller. To today's collectors, I think that original color would be more interesting at shows. It's a nice looking car no matter what, though. Thank you for posting this find, Steve.

John: I was delighted to find this one for sale to repost, it's the choicest 1956 Imperial other than a lwb model in my book. It's a favorite among Imperials: magnificent, elegant design, impressive proportions, one-year-only-body with intriguing details such as the rear door window configuration, and low 1,543 production. What's not to like? Steve 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
