Chrysler Imperial (246)


$49.99

In the Corgi range for just two years – between 1965 and 1967 – the Chrysler Imperial included a unique and ingenious ‘secret’ bonnet-opening mechanism. Operated by applying downwards pressure on the front axle, the bonnet opened just enough to enable it to be lifted.  However, this clever method of operation was bafflingly omitted from the box text, giving rise to many believing they had a faulty model!

This classic-era Corgi also featured opening doors, tilting seats, two figures (the female passenger being considerably smaller than the male driver) and a boot/trunk that lifted to reveal a set of golf clubs and caddy. Intriguingly, a variation of the Chrysler Imperial appeared in Corgi’s 1969 catalogue as a ‘Bermuda Taxi’. Given the Corgi number 507 this unusual variant was sadly never put into production.

Chrysler imperial

The engine is wrong for the car. Imperial did not have a cross ram dual 4 barrel intake manifold in 1965. Other than that I like the car. I purchased 1 for myself and 2 for friends that also drive 65 imperials. The die cast models look good on the dash of our cars at car shows

A great model of an American classic!

This a very detailed model of a Chrysler that one doesn’t see often. The opening hood and trunk are nice features and the inclusion of the passengers and the golf clubs bag are nice details that add to the value of the model.
