There are some extra pieces that go with the car. ( gauge panel and gauges, dashboard speaker grill, steering wheel horn ring and center cap, a 1955 imperial steering box, some extra taillight assemblies) I had a search done by Chrysler Heritage Association. It includes build sheet options and the date that the car was built. ( October 31, 1955)
Frame and floor boards in excellent condition, trunk floor is sketchy. Three rust thru spots on the body, one spot on right rear quarter panel. Spot is in an area that would not require a panel replacement just cut bad section and weld in a new piece.( area
is about 2 inches wide by 8 inches long). The other two spots are in rocker panel that are
about the size of a quarter, the rest of the rockers are in very good condition. The car is registered and on the road.
