FirePower 325HP 4BBl V8 engine and factory options including; TorqueFlite automatic transmission, leather interior, power steering, power brakes, power windows, full floor carpeting, electric clock, full wheel covers, front & rear pull down armrests and with added factory options including:323 Heater & Defroster324 Defogger325 Power Disc Brakes326 4 Way Power Front Seat327 Power Steering328 Power Windows331 Vanity Mirror332 Solex Glass334 Tilt Mirror349 Dual Headlights351 Power Antenna356 Electro Touch radio357 Flitesweep Decklid One of very few such remaining examples especially in such original, unmolested and documented condition and a top-of-the-line model for the Chrysler Corporation.This particular car has always been owned since new by only obviously very careful and mature owners and it is a car which has seemingly always been garaged as it is both a rust and accident free true survivor! Originally purchased and owned by Mrs Lauren Bacall Bogart in Beverly Hills, CA with original purchase documentation & owners manuals etc to be included in the sale. Mrs Bogart acquired the car new on 2/7/1957, three weeks after the passing of her husband Humphrey Bogart, from 'Harger Haldeman' the Imperial-Chrysler-Plymouth dealership of Los Angeles, CA and we have full documentation including the original dealers date of service certificate and original CA registration showing the original owners name and signature and Beverly Hills home address. Also discovered by chance, whilst refurbishing the seat inserts with the optional metallic Silver leather in the tuck & roll pattern, was a credit card receipt from a local Richfield gas station on Sunset Blvd in 1957 signed by Mrs Humphrey Bogart no less! Imperials most popular model year; 35,793 produced, including only 7,843 Crown Southampton Four-Door Hardtops with the new for '57 392 cu. in. 325HP Firepower V-8 engine with the legendary and flamboyant Virgil Exner styling, the first year available with quad headlights and with what appears to be a mostly all original factory interior apart from our refurbished seat inserts.The car was recently purchased from a renown collection and boasts its original 392/325HP 4 barrel V8 engine which is extremely strong and powerful and sounds absolutely magnificent and this particular car drives absolutely magnificently - must be driven to be fully appreciated - does not miss a beat and purrs like a kitten - drives straight as an arrow with no strange road wobbles, shakes or rattles - a truly remarkable daily driver that will give any modern day car a run for it's money! The Torqueflite automatic transmission shifts smoothly through the gears and the car is an absolute pleasure to drive! The car has obviously always been well maintained and all the options work as they should and the car boasts its original spare wheel and jack in the trunk!Chrysler's best car was spun off as a separate make and division beginning with the 1955 models and what a terrific car it was! Chrysler now had 5 divisions with a line up of cars to match GM in every market level with the Imperial as it's top-of-the-line model directly aimed at Cadillac and Lincoln. Styled by Virgil Exner along the lines of his 1954 Parade Phaeton show cars. A big split eggcrate grille with parking and turn signal lamps integrated atop the front bumper and the new streamlined Imperial hood ornament was used up front with distinctive gunsight tailights adorning the rear and sculpted flowing bodylines with fully radiused rear wheel openings appearing in between with the distinctive freestanding chrome trimmed tailights atop the rear fenders. A wraparound 'Super Scenic' windshield made it's first appearance and power was supplied by Chrysler's Hemi V8 to ensure the car's heritage as a true and rare milestone car and in 1956 a newly enlarged 354 CID V8 engine powered the very lightly restyled 1956 model.The Hemi V8 received its first major upgrade this year in the form of more displacement and increased compression ratio. The new engine was 354 cubic inches and horsepower was up 30 to 280 @ 4600 rpm. The Powerflite transmission returned for one more season in the Imperial but now featured the pushbutton shift control from a pod mounted on the instrument panel instead of the previous years one year only 'Finger Tip' shift lever located on the instrument panel. The base Imperial line also gained a 12 volt electrical system this year that helped support the growing number of standard electrical features now common in all luxury cars. At the front the cars were nearly identical to the 1955 with all the big changes were at the rear of the car. It began with the chassis and wheelbase of the base Imperial being stretched 3" at the rear. This allowed for longer rear quarters with slightly redesigned full length bodyside trim which wrapped around the larger tailfins. Also rear bumpers were redesigned to better integrate into the body and new rear quarters.In 1957, with a total redesign of the entire Chrysler corporate line, the Imperial leapt leaps and bounds ahead of the competition in terms of styling and design and was considered the finest expression of the 'Forward Look'. The redesign also brought Imperial a body that was not shared with other Chrysler models, at last breaking the ties with Chrysler's lower priced models. The Imperial followed the corporate theme of longer, lower and wider as well as the sweeping tailfins and lower body side trim. Imperial hardtops had a distinctive roofline that distinguished them immediately from other cars, with the Landau C-pillars wrapping over the top. Beneath the rooflines was found the first use of curved side windows. Inside the cars boasted all new clean styled instrument panels and an array of new fabrics and patterns for seats and door panels.Other new styling features included a new mesh type grid pattern full width grille with front fenders that overhang the dual headlamps. Single headlamps were still available for buyers in states where the dual headlamps were actua Vehicle Description West Coast Classics are proud to present an exceptionally straight and rust free and great daily driving survivor of this very rare and original Mopar - a southern California 1957 Imperial 'Crown' South Hampton 4 Door 6 passenger Hardtop originally purchased new by Mrs Lauren Bacall Bogart in Hollywood, CA and boasting it's original 'Horizon Blue' (Color Code B) factory paint with with its original 'Light Gray Metallic' leather, to include original 'Crown' embossed front and rear, (Trim code 47) factory interior & it's original 392c.i.

FirePower 325HP 4BBl V8 engine and factory options including; TorqueFlite automatic transmission, leather interior, power steering, power brakes, power windows, full floor carpeting, electric clock, full wheel covers, front & rear pull down armrests and with added factory options including:323 Heater & Defroster324 Defogger325 Power Disc Brakes326 4 Way Power Front Seat327 Power Steering328 Power Windows331 Vanity Mirror332 Solex Glass334 Tilt Mirror349 Dual Headlights351 Power Antenna356 Electro Touch radio357 Flitesweep Decklid One of very few such remaining examples especially in such original, unmolested and documented condition and a top-of-the-line model for the Chrysler Corporation.This particular car has always been owned since new by only obviously very careful and mature owners and it is a car which has seemingly always been garaged as it is both a rust and accident free true survivor! Originally purchased and owned by Mrs Lauren Bacall Bogart in Beverly Hills, CA with original purchase documentation & owners manuals etc to be included in the sale. Mrs Bogart acquired the car new on 2/7/1957, three weeks after the passing of her husband Humphrey Bogart, from 'Harger Haldeman' the Imperial-Chrysler-Plymouth dealership of Los Angeles, CA and we have full documentation including the original dealers date of service certificate and original CA registration showing the original owners name and signature and Beverly Hills home address. Also discovered by chance, whilst refurbishing the seat inserts with the optional metallic Silver leather in the tuck & roll pattern, was a credit card receipt from a local Richfield gas station on Sunset Blvd in 1957 signed by Mrs Humphrey Bogart no less! Imperials most popular model year; 35,793 produced, including only 7,843 Crown Southampton Four-Door Hardtops with the new for '57 392 cu. in. 325HP Firepower V-8 engine with the legendary and flamboyant Virgil Exner styling, the first year available with quad headlights and with what appears to be a mostly all original factory interior apart from our refurbished seat inserts.The car was recently purchased from a renown collection and boasts its original 392/325HP 4 barrel V8 engine which is extremely strong and powerful and sounds absolutely magnificent and this particular car drives absolutely magnificently - must be driven to be fully appreciated - does not miss a beat and purrs like a kitten - drives straight as an arrow with no strange road wobbles, shakes or rattles - a truly remarkable daily driver that will give any modern day car a run for it's money! The Torqueflite automatic transmission shifts smoothly through the gears and the car is an absolute pleasure to drive! The car has obviously always been well maintained and all the options work as they should and the car boasts its original spare wheel and jack in the trunk!Chrysler's best car was spun off as a separate make and division beginning with the 1955 models and what a terrific car it was! Chrysler now had 5 divisions with a line up of cars to match GM in every market level with the Imperial as it's top-of-the-line model directly aimed at Cadillac and Lincoln. Styled by Virgil Exner along the lines of his 1954 Parade Phaeton show cars. A big split eggcrate grille with parking and turn signal lamps integrated atop the front bumper and the new streamlined Imperial hood ornament was used up front with distinctive gunsight tailights adorning the rear and sculpted flowing bodylines with fully radiused rear wheel openings appearing in between with the distinctive freestanding chrome trimmed tailights atop the rear fenders. A wraparound 'Super Scenic' windshield made it's first appearance and power was supplied by Chrysler's Hemi V8 to ensure the car's heritage as a true and rare milestone car and in 1956 a newly enlarged 354 CID V8 engine powered the very lightly restyled 1956 model.The Hemi V8 received its first major upgrade this year in the form of more displacement and increased compression ratio. The new engine was 354 cubic inches and horsepower was up 30 to 280 @ 4600 rpm. The Powerflite transmission returned for one more season in the Imperial but now featured the pushbutton shift control from a pod mounted on the instrument panel instead of the previous years one year only 'Finger Tip' shift lever located on the instrument panel. The base Imperial line also gained a 12 volt electrical system this year that helped support the growing number of standard electrical features now common in all luxury cars. At the front the cars were nearly identical to the 1955 with all the big changes were at the rear of the car. It began with the chassis and wheelbase of the base Imperial being stretched 3" at the rear. This allowed for longer rear quarters with slightly redesigned full length bodyside trim which wrapped around the larger tailfins. Also rear bumpers were redesigned to better integrate into the body and new rear quarters.In 1957, with a total redesign of the entire Chrysler corporate line, the Imperial leapt leaps and bounds ahead of the competition in terms of styling and design and was considered the finest expression of the 'Forward Look'. The redesign also brought Imperial a body that was not shared with other Chrysler models, at last breaking the ties with Chrysler's lower priced models. The Imperial followed the corporate theme of longer, lower and wider as well as the sweeping tailfins and lower body side trim. Imperial hardtops had a distinctive roofline that distinguished them immediately from other cars, with the Landau C-pillars wrapping over the top. Beneath the rooflines was found the first use of curved side windows. Inside the cars boasted all new clean styled instrument panels and an array of new fabrics and patterns for seats and door panels.Other new styling features included a new mesh type grid pattern full width grille with front fenders that overhang the dual headlamps. Single headlamps were still available for buyers in states where the dual headlamps were actua Vehicle Description West Coast Classics are proud to present an exceptionally straight and rust free and great daily driving survivor of this very rare and original Mopar - a southern California 1957 Imperial 'Crown' South Hampton 4 Door 6 passenger Hardtop originally purchased new by Mrs Lauren Bacall Bogart in Hollywood, CA and boasting it's original 'Horizon Blue' (Color Code B) factory paint with with its original 'Light Gray Metallic' leather, to include original 'Crown' embossed front and rear, (Trim code 47) factory interior & it's original 392c.i.
