The Big honcho himself here at The Den has finally persuaded a friend of his to part with some of his extensive collection of model vintage and classic cars.

 

Amongst theses are the superb quality white metal and plastic replicas from Signature Models in 1:18 Scale (they are Big in every meaning of the word).

 

Also an extensive range of Signature Models, of veteran, vintage and classic cars from the 1900’s to the 1960’s in both 1:18 and 1:32 scales

 

Most of them are hard to obtain in these scales over here. Hence why the 1stwhitewolf wanted to get his paws on them for his collection. Having now merged both collections. He inevitably found that he now was in possession of a number of duplicate models. “The Frenzied Collector” has decided (with some reluctance) to part with them.

 

Once they are gone they are gone. So do not miss this opportunity to obtain for yourself one of these finely detailed models.

 

Mostly they are new and only been removed from their boxes for photographing and to prepare this catalogue.

f f f

All cars will be sold “AS SEEN” in the photographs.

 

Please make sure BEFORE bidding that the model is in the condition you expect it be in.

If you are not sure of anything.

  Please Ask.

The Chrysler Imperial

With the accent on beauty and quality, Chrysler presents the impressive Imperial to the eager market of 1955.


President E. C. Quinn of The Chrysler Corporation. Was recorded saying that “With the introduction of the new 1955 Imperial, Chrysler brings to the market new car and a dramatic new concept in American automotive styling,” Actually he wasn’t wrong.

Quinn went on to say “The Imperial is slim, taut and commanding in appearance and combines elegance and distinction with a feeling of agility, that sets it apart.


The new Imperial’s designers created an impressive motorcar, large and commanding with slim lines and classic proportions. It was built on its own assembly line.


The long, low sloping Imperial hood suggests power and affords excellent driver visibility. The roof runs in a smooth, tapering line from the sun cap visor to the rear deck. Its slimness serves to concentrate the mass of the car low to the ground.


 
The large windshield is wrapped around both top and bottom, terminating in side pillars, which are sloped rearward to convey the feeling of forward motion.


The Imperial’s divided grille conveys the feeling of slimness by reducing front-end bulk. By carrying the body colour down to the bumper line, adds to the feeling of lowness.
 
A large Imperial eagle spans the dividing strip between the grille elements and assures positive model identification.

 

The 55 Imperial was said to be Rear View Distinctive (so are some of the “She wolves” here at The Den, but don’t tell em I said so)


The unity of design, which characterizes the new Imperial, is evident when the car is viewed from the rear. Bumper guards, repeating the front-end motif, are inset into chromed hoods and blend with the side and rear fender treatment. Their extreme outboard location adds a strong accent to width. Slim backup lights are recessed into the tall bumper guards and below them twin tailpipes extend through the bumper.

 

The 55 Imperial was issued in single, two or three tone paintwork. They were lean, low, fast, maneuverable, and reliable.
