Sinatra had a K-car. Whoda thunk it?

There was a Turbo Town and Country station wagon on eBay a few years ago that was claimed to be from the Frank Sinatra estate.

I think Ol' Blue Eyes would have been a lot of fun at an SDAC meet.

The little limos.org site is a new one to me. Didn't know they had a fan club.
Cool info. Thanks for posting.

There was a Sinatra Edition Chrysler Imperial in the early '80s.

Interesting - it has a salvage title.

Don't forget he drove a Daytona Turbo Z in Cannonball Run 2.

Sinatra and Lee Iacocca were good friends.Sinatra offered his help to the then near terminal Chrysler Corporation in whatever capacity he could.For free! Lee used him as spokesman for the new for 81 Imperial,showing up in TV and print ads,with his daughter.He was even in one of the early K car commercials doing an appearance stating "America's not going to be pushed around anymore".(In reference to America getting taken over by Asian imports,and the big switch from RWD to FWD).When Iacocca was going to retire in 1991,Sinatra still was using a stretched Imperial (like in Cannonball Run II) and it broke down.Chrysler had to send transportation out to him so he could sing at the retirement party.Sinatra was as drunk as a skunk,with slurred speed and having a hard time to remember his lines.Word had it that the Imperial was still running the flawed EFI system that was shut down by high tension overhead lines.

I find it exceptionally hard to believe that a car stopped running due to EMF.

Ive heard of it. One of the teachers at chrysler training said an old lady used to drive by an airport and every single time she passed a certain part of the road and the car would stall every single time.
