Has a lot of promise, but I have to raise the flag on the Kennedy connection

Maybe a Kennedy once spit on it

Here is the text before advert disappears:

Selling an original 1962 Chrysler Imperial LeBaron four door hardtop in Formal Black. The body is rustfree with no dents.
The car was in a heated basement since 1990. According to the salvage company picking up the car is was near a heater
and it cracked the windshield and damaged the paint on the passenger side. The 413 V-8 engine runs well, installed new
plugs, wires, points, and carburetor was rebuilt. Transmission works fine but there is no brakes. I installed four new whitewall
radial tires. Exhaust is in good condition and quiet. Interior will need to be restored. Options include PS, PB, Power Windows
and Vent Windows, 6 way Power Seat, Door Edge Guards. Needs more work to make it road worthy. There were only 1,449
LeBaron models built in 1962. Salvage company told me the car had Kennedy family provenance. The prior registered owner
passed away and I haven't investigated the relationship further.

A heater did that much damage?, the lenses are bloody melted!
Other than that, a very nice Imperial, but a bit pricey.

 

[mr. fix it]

Is it better to have new tires and no brakes than old tires and good brakes???

the car runs great!!! It just can't stop!!!
It looked damned good until it crashed through the guard rail!

No water damage, the KENNEDY stuff must be

Could be the car Teddy drove of the bridge and left Mary Jo behind to find her own way out az it sank?

 

[4spd300J]

A black LeBaron without a/c?

Silver interior!

I thought that was an olds?

Probably like a game of "Telephone," wherein, "Gee, didn't the Kennedys have one just like this?" becomes fact. Well, they almost did. The Imperial website has pix of the Kennedys getting into a '61 LeBaron...

 

[crv]

So, if they had a '61 then there is a chance that they got the new model in '62...but was this '61 actually owned by the Kennedy family?

 

[78Brougham]

Doubtful, looks like standard issue government surplus. If you were president would you use your own vehicle?
Probably secret service car.

That car was in a fire.... overhead flame spread into the garage.

That would make more sense than the heater story.
