Details

This remarkable Imperial Salon, 7-passenger, enclosed-drive Opera Limousine model 1703 is one of the finest automobiles ever produced in its time. Powering the car is a 462/182hp V12 engine featuring two down-draft carburetors with functioning dual chokes. This amazing engine runs smoothly. Power is transferred to the rear wheels by a 3-speed manual transmission featuring an automatic overdrive that automatically engages between 40 and 45mph. Driver-assist features include a unique free-wheeling feature along with factory assisted drum brakes. The 17' original matching artillery-style wheels with chrome beauty rings and matching chrome Pierce 12 hubcaps and new 17' whitewall tires complete the period look. The car is also equipped with dual side mounts. The magnificent interior features original black leather upholstery in the driver's cab with original tan fabric in the passenger compartment. It features a functioning privacy partition window behind the driver. It also features two fold-up opera-type seats. The original dash is accented in chrome and black with fully functioning gauges. The interior is complimented by original mahogany wood trim. There are privacy shades in the passenger cab windows.
