1961 Chrysler Imperial Crown Diecast Model White 1/18 Die Cast Car By Yat Ming
Classic Imperial ConvertibleChrysler revived the Imperial as a separate marque (not �Chrysler Imperial�) in 1960 with new unibody construction and gave it new cutaway front fenders, a shorter grille centered under an extended hood, and unique free standing headlights for 1961. Yat Ming has modeled all these features very accurately for their new 1961 Imperial Convertible. Its big diecast body is smooth and clean and the glossy �Alaskan White� finish matches my paint chips very well. There�s a lot of chrome on a �61 Imperial, and except for the printed Imperial scripts Yat Ming has reproduced every piece, even the thin fin caps, with separate chrome-plated parts. The big 413 cid-V-8 is wired and plumbed, though the plug wires are a couple of scale inches thick and the alternator is supported only by its drive belt. The interior makes up for that, though, with properly hinged doors, windows that slide up and down, and soft gray carpet on the floor. The split front seat folds forward on an angle just like the real car, the rear armrest folds away, and photos dhow the dash details are accurate, though the smaller gauges aren�t detailed. Overall lines match photos in the June 2005 �Collectible Automobile� from all angles and dimensions are a consistent 1:18 scale.
