Very Rare California Beauty
I’m putting my well-documented Imperial Mobile Director, “Big Blue” up for sale due to health issues. This car is one of 81 produced with this option group in 1967. Another 70 or so were made in 1968, and that was all. Perhaps 10 still exist. This Imperial was featured in the “My Ride” feature of the Wall Street journal on October 12, 2016. More information about Imperials and this particular car can be found at:

Big Blue is a great driving car that just completed a 500 mile trip to Pebble Beach and back. She is close to being 100% reconditioned. I don’t say “restored” because many components are original, renovated or repaired. Many worn out parts have been replaced with old stock OEM items. The only time I entered this Imperial in a juried car show it won second place in its class. To get to first place award winning quality the car will require nit-picking work, including stone chip touch up, wind lace, carpet, radio and clock repairs.
