Perfect 1962 Imperial Crown Coupe at S. Austin Beer Garden

Written by Ken Altes

Stunning, perfect 1962 Imperial coupe at the Austin Beer Garden Brewery. 4650 Crown Imperils were manufactured this year. Powered by a 413 cu. in. wedge V8 making 340 hp, twisting a three speed TorqueFlight transmission, the car weighed about 4540 lbs, riding on a 129″ wheelbase. The Crown was midway between the base Custom and the top end LeBaron.Version 31962 Imperial in Austin TX, taillight 1962 Imperial in Austin TX emblem 1962 Imperial in Austin TX hood ornament1962 Imperial in Austin TX rear view

Lisa’s 1960 Parkwood Chevy Wagon with LS Power

Written by Ken Altes

Spotted this interesting car at a recent air and car show. Lisa found it on our FB page and filled in the details:

LS3 with a cam from a 2001 chevy truck, 4L60 trans. Took her on the Hot Rod Power Tour in 2015 drove her 4000 miles round trip. Had some issues with the stock rear axle bearings, but fixed them both up. Yep, she has Vintage Air A/C, but hardly need to run it with the windows all down. Power rear tailgate window is stock, really nice. Roof is painted and was flaked, but the remaining body is all natural! No body work, rust patina that I seal a couple times a year with Shark Hide (a marine finish). I also did all my own upholstery and interior. Left the dash her stock, although faded, color. Gauges are modern as well from Classic Instruments. Original American Racing rims.”
