This OEM 1957 Chrysler and Imperial Service Manual is a high-quality, authorized, licensed reproduction of the original shop manual published by Chrysler Corporation. In 1957, Chrysler continued its practice of referring to their models by using both letter and number codes, as well as traditional names. This shop manual is the first tool you'll need when it comes time to service or repair your C-75-1 (Windsor), C-75-2 (Saratoga), C-76 (New Yorker) or IM-1-2-4 (Imperial). It thoroughly covers areas such as: general specifications, front wheel suspension, rear axle, brakes, clutch, cooling system, electrical system, engine, fuel and exhaust systems, frame, springs and shock absorbers, steering, transmission, universal joints and propeller shaft, wheels and tires, body and sheet metal--Town and Country Wagon, lubrication, radio, Hi-Fi and heater and air conditioning.
You'll find this guide has specifications galore. Did you know that the shipping weight (including power steering and automatic transmission) for the four door sedan 1957 Imperial (IM-1 ) was 4,925 pounds? Wow! Just to give you some perspective, you could take the curb weight of TWO 2018 Nissan Versa models, add them together and still not quite hit that mark on the scale!
In addition to comprehensive written instructions, you'll find this repair manual has been loaded with a generous amount of visual aids. Throughout, you'll find exploded views, black and white photographs, cut-away views, illustrations, tables, etc. to assist you with the projects on your classic. You'll find the information and confidence you need to tackle projects from a simple tune-up to a full-scale tear down and rebuild.
The 1957 Chrysler cars offered some great accessories, and this manual will help you work on those items as well. For instance let's talk radios. Whether you need to work on the Electro Touch-Tuner or The Music Master, this guide has you covered. It even has the information for the Highway Hi-Fi record player. That's right. In the days before 8-tracks, cassettes, compact discs and satellite service, Chrysler kept your ears in bliss with an honest-to-goodness record player, right there, in your car. This service manual contains the numbered, exploded view diagram of that cool piece of audio machinery, as well as the electrical circuit wiring diagram.
