Which Chrysler Imperial Crown Version Should You Buy?
For the Chrysler Imperial Crown covered by this catalogue, the choice is straightforward: the only listed version is the 5.4 AT, produced from 1963 through 1965 as a Coupe Hardtop. It combines a 5,400 cc Gasoline engine producing 180 hp with a 3-speed Automatic gearbox and RWD.
For the Chrysler Imperial Crown covered by this catalogue, the choice is straightforward: the only listed version is the 5.4 AT, produced from 1963 through 1965 as a Coupe Hardtop. It combines a 5,400 cc Gasoline engine producing 180 hp with a 3-speed Automatic gearbox and RWD. Because the data contains one generation and one modification, there are no alternative engines, transmissions, body styles, or generations to compare. Buyers can therefore judge this car by whether that single specification suits them, rather than by trying to rank multiple versions.
Chrysler Imperial Crown generations compared
The catalogue records one Chrysler Imperial Crown generation, running from 1963 to 1965. It has a Coupe Hardtop body and one version, 5.4 AT. No separate restyling is listed inside the generation.
Consequently, there is no numerical basis for saying that one Imperial Crown generation gained more power, a larger engine, a different gearbox, or another drivetrain over an earlier generation. Searches may refer to a Chrysler Imperial Crown sedan, convertible, or a 1966 model, but those variants and years are outside the supplied catalogue data and cannot be included in this comparison.
Chrysler Imperial Crown engine and specs
The 5.4 AT uses a 5,400 cc Gasoline engine with 8 cylinders in a V-shaped layout. The engine is Front, longitudinal, has 2 valves per cylinder, uses a Carburetor, and has No boost. Output is 180 hp, or 132 kW.
Based on the supplied figures, the 5.4 AT produces approximately 33.3 hp per litre. It also produces approximately 24.4 kW per litre. These calculated values help put its engine size and output into context, but there is no second version against which to compare them.
| Version | Power | Torque | Displacement | Fuel | Cylinders | Cylinder layout | Boost | Gearbox | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5.4 AT | 180 hp | not measured | 5,400 cc | Gasoline | 8 | V-shaped | No | 3-speed Automatic | RWD |
The 5.4 AT is therefore the version to choose if the desired catalogue specification is a 5,400 cc naturally aspirated Gasoline engine, a 3-speed Automatic transmission, and RWD. There is no manual gearbox, boosted engine, or alternative drive system in the supplied range.
Chrysler Imperial Crown performance, mpg, and economy
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h for the 5.4 AT is not measured, and top speed is not measured. City fuel consumption, highway fuel consumption, and combined fuel consumption are also not measured. CO2 emissions and ecological class are not measured.
These gaps mean that the 180 hp output cannot be converted into a supported claim about acceleration or maximum speed. They also prevent a factual mpg comparison with another version—or even a verified economy estimate for the 5.4 AT itself. Engine displacement and power are available, but they are not substitutes for measured performance or consumption data.
Chrysler Imperial Crown dimensions, weight, and chassis specs
Kerb weight and gross weight for the 5.4 AT are not measured, so weight per horsepower is not measured. Calculating that ratio would require a supplied vehicle weight. Ground clearance and wheel sizes are likewise not measured.
The fuel tank capacity is 87 litres. The front suspension is Independent, spring, while the rear suspension is Dependent, leaf spring. Both the front and rear brakes are Drum.
| Version | Kerb weight | Gross weight | Weight per hp | Ground clearance | Fuel tank | Wheel sizes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5.4 AT | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured | 87 litres | not measured |
The 87-litre tank is the only supplied dimension or weight-related figure that can be used in a buying comparison. Because no fuel-consumption measurement is available, the tank capacity cannot support a calculated driving-range figure.
Chrysler Imperial Crown problems and reliability data
Problems and reliability results are not measured in the supplied data. The specification confirms a Carburetor, No boost, a 3-speed Automatic gearbox, RWD, Independent, spring front suspension, Dependent, leaf spring rear suspension, and Drum brakes at both ends, but these details do not establish reliability by themselves.
A buying decision should therefore not treat the catalogue as evidence of likely repair costs, component life, or common faults. Those subjects require condition and service evidence that is not included here.
Which Chrysler Imperial Crown version should you buy?
Within this catalogue, buy the 5.4 AT if you want the listed 1963–1965 Coupe Hardtop, because it is the entire available range rather than one trim among several. Its defining numbers are 5,400 cc, 180 hp, 132 kW, and an 87-litre fuel tank. Its calculated specific output is approximately 33.3 hp per litre, while torque, performance, fuel economy, vehicle weight, and weight per horsepower are not measured.
There is no higher-powered version to justify extra money, no smaller engine that can be shown to use less fuel, and no newer listed generation offering measurable changes. Prices and cars for sale are not included in the supplied data, so no claim can be made about what any premium buys. The meaningful choice is between accepting the single 5.4 AT specification and looking outside this catalogue entry—not between competing Imperial Crown versions.
