[@ScottieDTV]

[@darrellknight7234]

I am totally amazed at the beauty, the elegance, of this moveable class act. American class cars of the 50's blew away those euro clunkers, this is a totally beautiful creation.

[@ScottieDTV]

For sure...Glad you liked it Brother!!

[@yettobseen]

That is incredible! That color with that interior is stunning

[@ScottieDTV]

Very cool car for sure...Glad You liked it!

Fantastic! Flawless restoration. Nice looking Gen I HEMI! That car just exudes class and sophistication! Pure elegance and soul!

[@ScottieDTV]

Glad You liked it!!

[@joemccarthy4532]

Breathtaking, colors are stunning .The paint resembles 1968 Sequoia green that was on my Caprice . This is a DREAM CAR and its prettier than the original. Sincerely Mrs. McCarthy

[@ScottieDTV]

lol...The Wife liked it!!...wow.....I agree...Mike nailed it!!

[@JeS-ii6yp]

I saw the original prototype, the J.T. Keller custom 1955 Imperial Convertible. Quite frankly, Mike Rutter has created a car that is more beautiful and even more elegant than the original prototype. A true masterpiece!

[@ScottieDTV]

Cool....Thank you for the comment!!

[@cristianserra8982]

Precioso

[@TheItsmegp46]

I saw that same K T Keller custom Imperial at the Concours d'l'gance at greenwich ct

[@normansilverman8678]

Agree, this is better looking than the KT Keller car (IMHO). Is it a 55 New Yorker convert firewall with a 55 Imperial front clip?

[@1ivannthegreat]

Beautiful, such as good as it's going to get. Good taste in the color, especially from the inside. I love all of the chrome trimming and everything in between.

[@ScottieDTV]

I agree!!!

[@DonaldSeymourjr]

That is just pure class. Mike, whoever he is, is a classy guy.

[@ScottieDTV]

I hear ya....Glad you liked it!!

[@jamesmyers9285]

The 55 Imperial is one of my top five favorite cars, especially the Coupe and this convertible is breathtakingly beautiful!

[@ScottieDTV]

Right on...Thanks for checking it out here!!

[@Blog4Justice]

Breathtaking. Flawlessly executed.

[@ScottieDTV]

For sure!!!

[@marcob4630]

Gosh! This is a jewel on wheels: never seen such a masterpiece of art work! It's even to precious for driving on common roads. My compliments!

[@ScottieDTV]

Very cool for sure...Glad You liked it!

[@rockromero8009]

that is one exquisite car. im sure that is a garage queen. you can tell that was a blood, sweat, and tears car. good find Scottie. thanks for sharing.

[@ScottieDTV]

It was debut at 2016 SEMA....But it was built to drive.....I'm sure it won't spend many night outside....but it will see some road miles...

[@jiujitsuboxer]

Love that paint and chrome combo.

[@ScottieDTV]

Very cool for sure...Glad You liked it!!

[@choward5430]

How is it possible that any Chevrolet, Ford or Mercury is more popular than this car or some Cadillacs? This car is JEWELRY!

[@ScottieDTV]

Beautiful build for sure....

[@gusibrahim6961]

Wrong my friend, this is an acquired taste and had huge following back in the day!!!

[@hanschenk2708]

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL CAR ONE OF THE BEST IVE SEEN

[@ScottieDTV]

For sure!!!

[@hanschenk2708]

ONE OF THE NICEST CARS IHAVE EVER SEEN

[@ScottieDTV]

Glad you liked it!

[@tommyd.743]

The record player was an option back then. And, yes, they worked well. I believe the interior color would be considered a true "saddle tan". And your right, that paint color is frigging gorgeous, especially with that interior. Very classy.

[@ScottieDTV]

Glad you liked it!!

[@sharksport01]

Russet?

[@autofanaticcars]

Now this is class and style, love 50s cars

[@ScottieDTV]

[@mattmonaghan5502]

It has a Bently look to it. Honestly, I almost teared up it was so pretty.

[@ScottieDTV]

lol..Glad You liked it!!

[@davidg-ig8vj]

Beautiful. Very nice and distinct shade of grey-green.

[@ScottieDTV]

Thanks for checking it out!!

[@Wil-70-NL]

That is a great car. What a magnificent colour too. Amazing.

[@ScottieDTV]

For sure...Thanks for checking it out!!

[@alcyr5655]

WOW, always a big fan of the '55 and '56 Chrysler 300's. That Imperial leaves me speechless. I really like that they kept all the trim on her. That must of cost a fortune, to find all the chrome and have it redone. And that interior, just suits the car. I know, I said I was speechless, but that car is stunning. First gen. hemi valve covers, on a third gen. hemi. Very thought out build, and now I will shut up. Love this car.

[@ScottieDTV]

Glad you enjoyed it Brother....Very nice build for sure!!

[@lestermiller2717]

Al Cyr at least $25,000 to do all that chrome over to that level

[@michaelbenardo5695]

The car is fantastic, but they should have used a correct 331 HEMI, not a modern engine with computers. There is nothing lacking about that 331 HEMI.

[@peterhodges6684]

Simply stunning !

[@ScottieDTV]

I agree!!

[@jamesmacdonald6490]

This is a Classy Ride. Elegant The Leather interior is awesome. Gangster whites and full wire wheels, plus a rag top, man is class. Thanx Scottie$

[@ScottieDTV]

Cool car for sure...Your welcome Brother!!

[@JohnW1711stock]

There is more craftsmanship in this car than can be captured on video. WOW! That engine does a great job of imitating a 354 Hemi. Lucifer (on TV)may drive a Black 62 Vette, but, God would drive this Chrysler.

[@ScottieDTV]

lol....I agree turned out nice...

[@Magnetron33]

OMG!" God Would Drive This Chrysler!" LOL You are so right!

[@joevald3]

If that car was produced today it would sell ....

[@ScottieDTV]

I agree!

[@DMACHOLMAN]

It would be considered personal luxury coupe. could be built in low volume and sale at a premium price The same way Lamborghini, Porsche and Ferrari as a means to maintain the value of the model. I believe a good argument for business case could be made. Oh And yes it could sell.

[@przemyslawbudakiewicz1344]
