I have the perfect car to do a 68 Chrysler Imperial convertible version of this car in the Mopars for sale section! Who wants to step up and build it? Me I got too many projects and I already built my one off Mopar convertible twice times!

Agreed. Last time it was on the show circuit it was orange if I recall correctly.

Murray Pfaff's Imperial Speedster. built a few years back. was beige with orange gut when originally done. I like the updates tho

MUCH prefer the original version. The green is just okay, but those wheels are HIDEOUS!!!

I also prefer the original version. Here is mine that I have owned for over 30 years.

I also own one of the smallest cars an '63 King Midget.

It would look a ****-ton better, with the top down. I got to walk around it during setup, a few years ago. Amazing quality......and really nice in person.

Does that have a Wisconsin engine?

Yes restored to original with the 9 HP Wisconsin motor.

Wow! In the 1970's my best friend got one. Actually he and his brother. Dad owned an excavating company and they had motorized everything. Mostly used, but cool. A 6 wheel ATV, new Broncco minibikes for Christmas in 1971, and one year, the Midget. I didn't even remember who made it, and when I saw your post I remembered the Wisconsin sticker on the engine. Thanks for the memory!

King Midgets were made in Athens Ohio from 1946 to 1969. There was three models each succeeding the other. Mine is the last version three. Neat car manufacture story if you have the time.

Do you keep the king in the trunk for a spare?

Putting those wheels on a classic is as attractive as a woman with a 88DD boob job.

I'm pretty sure that's been done.

I don't care for either.

I will always appreciate the amount of time, talent and money spent on a car like that, but not for me. Dropped and different colors I like, but, been there, done that!!
