Always wanted one of these...

We bought the '65 through an estate sale. (You know, you'll sell my Imperial over my dead body, well that's how we got it.) We spotted it while the owner was still alive. He was not fit to drive, nor did he try. We would visit his daughter once per month like clock work, bringing gifts (bribes?) of cookies, pies, large chunks of frozen meats... Our $2200 offer wasn't the highest, but the one that was accepted. It had around 17k original miles when we got it and around 22k when we sold it.

Whats funny is, driving that new yorker which was a barge, the size never bothered me at all... then i hadn't driven a old car for 20 years.. i got my 62 belvedere on the road and it feels MASSIVE.. when it's much smaller than the NY was.. i was pulling in to get gas and felt like the front end was gonna hit everything..
 
George Stecher was the head mechanic of the Chrysler Turbine program. He also was the person driving the car in this and all the scenes in the movie. Chrysler did not want stunt men driving the car so they had him go out with the car and be part of the movie. Mickey Thompson drives one of the other cars in this movie.
