And actualy front looks like earlier one - headlights definitely placed in upper section. |

Going by the front bumper I think this one is a '57. http://www.imperialclub.com/Yr/1957/57Ghia/index.htm -- Last edit: 2011-07-27 00:04:01 |

Yes, the limos were called "Crown Imperials". Actually, the '58 limo line continiued the 1957 bumper design but with the '58 style grille which cannot be seen here.) This series was incredibly rare: 1957.....36 built 1958.....31 built 1959......7 built -- Last edit: 2011-07-26 15:39:47 |

Thanks, TV boy. Thumbnail photo appears to show the '58 grille style. Changing the listing accordingly. |

Interesting to note that these cars cost nearly three times the price of the regular Imperials. |

They were considered one of the finest built cars in the world at that time. Tremendous attention to detail. |

Yet if you go shopping for one today; they're not much more then the regular Imperials. |

I once owned a 1957 Ghia built Crown Imperial, similar to this one. For clarification, the 1957 Ghia had a standard '57 "bi-wing" bumper, but featured the standard 1958 grill. The 1958 model Ghia wore the standard '58 grill and bumper, both, in part because the bi-wing design of the 1957 Imperial bumper proved to not be very durable for those who preferred to "park by ear". |

Well that would make this a '57, then. Changing the listing. |
